Avoid RTI on personnel issues, govt to tell staff
NEW DELHI: The government is planning to issue strict instructions that personnel matters should be resolved internally and not be allowed to escalate. A number of appeals and complaints seeking information on matters like transfers, arrears, salaries and others land at the doorstep of the Central Information Commission after having failed to elicit a response from the administration.
Government sources said that the issue came up in a recent meeting between the chief information commissioner R K Mathur and DoPT secretary Sanjay Kothari. "There was agreement that the government should issue orders asking government departments to address queries by their employees, and if needed counsel them. If an employee is seeking information on his service matter, salary, pension, or other issues impacting him, he has every right to get it,`` a source said.
