Arunachal Pradesh State Cooperative Apex bank (APSCAB) is not willing to share details about its financial background, reports a news outlet.
A villager who sought information under RTI Act, 2005 about financial liabilities of APSCAB was denied information.
The information commission in the state has imposed a penalty of Rs 25000 on the PIO cum Managing Director of APSCAB for deliberately defying the orders of the Commission in connection with furnishing information to the petitioner.
The commission stated that it was a fit case to invoke section 20(2) of RTI Act, 2005 by recommending to the state government to take appropriate disciplinary action against the erring PIO cum Managing Director of APSCAB.
