U cannot get such info from bank under RTI, unless U can indicate fraud etc which can be  treated in public interest by CPIO. However if U doubt some thing fishy, U can convey your apprehension to the bank local head office,[LHO]  with proof if any. Banks do investigate such complaints. After all public sector bank money is public money.  U can visit bank's website and use grievances redressal icon to know email and postal address of Circle Chief Gen Manager of LHO.

The crux is public interest. If so the bank cannot deny the right of the public under the Act. If it is barred U/s 8 of the Actthe bank can reject it. Otherwise they have to entertain you.

 I agree with my lrd friends and  further add that  and  by  a letter to Bank   you can ask  the  bank  whehter the proerty of  X  is  mortgaged to the  bank  or not  and if mortgaged what is the liablitiy on the  said /X proerty .

Strictly speaking the information cannot be given to you as neither the property is yours and neither the loan has been taken by you.


Its a information of private nature and the bank would be committing a wrong if it gives someones contractual information to you.


The information can be refused to be divulged under Section 8(J) of the RTI Act.

 sir I did some trasaction form my proprietorship company to other company through a/c payee

cheque. I also did a 420 case on the other company regarding my transactiosn. 

The person who took cheque from me is the prime accused in my 420 petition. 

Ploice gave FR in case. They didn't submit any documents from bank like cheque deposit vouters (who deposited cheque) 

the person is central Gov. employee, He denied his connection with the company. He was running his company on his Son's name. It just a cover up company. 

will i get information from bank under RTI Act.

U CAN GET ALL THE INFO PERTAINING TO YOUR ACCOUNT FROM BANK, IF IT IS PUBLIC SECTOR BANK THROUGH RTI. U CANNOT GET INFO OF ANOTHER PERSON. IF BANK IS COOP BANK OR PRIVATE BANK, U CAN FILE APPLICATION [NON-RTI] WITH THEIR NODAL OFFICER AT HEAD OFFICE FOR THESE DETAILS OF YOUR ACCOUNT

K.C.Suresh (Advocate)     02 June 2009

Dear Prabodh, Now it is a police case. Bank has to give the details of accounts related to an investigation to the investgating agency. As a dejure complaint you can move a petition to the bank to keep the details of the accounts related to the case in safe custody and give a petition to the concerned majistrate about the lethargic attitude of the Investigating officer. You can step into the Court as defacto complaint and file petition to cause the production of the document by the bank. Bank is bound to produce as it is metral for deciding a grave crime. Wish you best of luck and don't go after the RI Act as that provision is inteneted for public interest.

Ziaul Haque Ansari (Advocate)     01 July 2009

As regards to the question of Mr. Prabodh I would like to add that you can not seek the information from a bank under the provisions of RTI Act as because the property is not yours, however if the same is within the scope of public interest then u can proceed

J. P. Shah (RTI & CONSUMER ACTIVIST)     02 July 2009

RTI is not about only PUblic Interest issues. Personal matters can also be sought about applicant's own account. In case if info pertains to third person then public interest wil come into play. Pl visit my files of RTI for formats and guidance.
