Cooperative housing society documentation issue

Hi All,
I understand that a Cooperative Housing Society (CHS) isn’t a 'Public Authority' under Section 2(h) of the RTI Act, so we must file the RTI online via rtionline.maharashtra.gov.in under the सहकार, पणन आणि वस्त्रोद्योग विभाग (Co-operation, Marketing and Textiles Department) against the local Deputy Registrar (DDR).
My specific query is: Can we legally demand the Society’s Bank Statements and GST Returns (GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B) through this RTI?

I have been asking the GST filing reports but they are not responding. The DDR office is asking to go to Society Committee but they are not giving. asking us to go to the GST office and get from there.

Does the Deputy Registrar’s office legally maintain copies of a housing society’s GST filings, or does the statutory Auditor include complete GST breakdown sheets inside the annual Audit Report submitted to the DDR? If the DDR does not hold these tax records, what is the alternative legal route to force an Administrator or the society to hand over GST reports to a member?

Can we file an RTI for this. If yes, then please guide
