Rti information not availed by private university

Dr. Sharad Garg (Querist) 21 November 2014 This query is : Resolved
I worked for around 13 months on full time basis for an Un-aided private University of India. However, the University did not provide me the Experience certificate. I have following questions:
1. Does RTI apply to un-aided Private Universities in India.
2. Is it not mandatory for any employer in India to issue service certificate?
3. How should I proceed to get the experience certificate?

I have computer printed salary slips, Form 16 (duly signed by Registrar), Due deposits in EPF by Employer etc. till the last date I worked with the University. But no experience certificate.

I had filed an application under RTI Act as well on Sept 20, 2014 but University did not reply. Due to lack of knowledge, I did not even file an appeal within 30 days from the date of filing application under RTI, so I believe even my RTI application has become ineffectual.

Kindly advise.

RTI Act does not apply in private University. It is not mandatory for them also to issue experience certificate.
You can however request them to issue Release letter wherein they can mention the period of your employment with it.

1. RTI does not apply to un-aided Private Universities in India.

2. Law does not force them. Custom exist to issue. You can request for relieving and experience certificate.

3. Send them formal request through registered letter.
