RTI ACT

 I wish to inform that the Investigation Wing of the Income Tax Department i.e. Director  General of Income-tax (INV) has been taken out by the Government out  of the purview of RTI Act and no information can be asked for from him.

I t is an unfortunatte dicision. When the demand of SC to bring under RTI Act is under air how can such investigating agencies can be given exemption from providing infomation relevant for all?

 Reason: Inconvenient information was sought. Corruption sir corruption. I know a case where the so-called "Investigtion Wing" had closed the case giving the assessees clean chit. When an officer smelled a rat, she ordered thorough investigation. The result: demand notice of more than 7 crores slapped. Should such officers continue to work in the department or sacked?
