Hi Friend,
Please note that it is a very dicey situation. In most cases, when you start the RTI with making some public interest the said information is not denied. I have got information in more than 20-25 cases.
Yes, though now you don't get the Income Tax Returns, but you still get the figures of income tax return filed and the tax filed of the particular year.
As near as on 12.6.2013 the CIC in CIC/RM/A/2012/000545/LS gave the following decision:
Suffice it to say that the appellant has sought information which is personal
to Shri R.C.Chopra. Personal information can be disclosed only in larger public
interest. The appellant has not been able to establish any such public interest.
Hence, the information sought by the appellant is not disclosable to him under the
RTI Act. Even so, going by the version of the appellant that his wife has filed a
false case against him alleging that her father gave dowry of more than Rs.63
lakhs at the time of the wedding in 2007 and that he is facing a totally false
criminal prosecution in this regard. In my opinion, it would be fit and proper to
direct the CPIO to disclose the amount of net taxable income declared by Shri
R.C.Chopra in his Income Tax Return for FYs 20062007,
20072008 and 20082009.
It is made clear that only statistical information is required to be provided.
No additional information whatsoever will be provided to the appellant.
INcidently this gentleman also quoted the newsreport of my FIL been asked to cough up money in his application as
1) IBN Khabar news channel reported that on complaint of son in law in
income tax against father in law, Father in law has to be pay 2, 21,000 tax on 13
lakh Istridhan list. Complete story can be seen on

So you should go ahead and file the TEP and RTI without any fear and with full cnviction
