Calculation of pension doesn't come under RTI Act: CIC ruling

New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) The Central Information Commission (CIC) has
rejected a defence ministry employee's plea seeking details related to
calculation of his pension through an RTI application.
"The question of calculation of pension is simply an accounts matter
and has no bearing on the RTI Act," Chief Information Commissioner
Wajahat Habibullah said.

The Commission has passed the order on a petition filed by K S
Bakshi, a resident of Chandigarh, seeking information regarding the
fixation of his pension and family pension from the Ministry of
Defence (MoD).

The Commission observed that the plea moved before it is beyond its
jurisdiction and dismissed the plea of Bakshi after finding no
material in it.

Earlier, the CPIO of MoD, Sandeep Sarkar, requested the Commission to
direct the petitioner, Bakshi, not to use the CIC for his "perceived
grievance redressal and to stop making unwarranted correspondence".
