RTI Requests and Points of Clarification

Reservation and Interview Transparency:
Being a Scheduled Caste (SC) category officer with more than 34 years of service, the applicant has requested:
- His seniority list number.
- His personal interview marks on an all-India basis, specifically within the SC category.
Promotion List and Marks Disclosure:
The RTI seeks the complete list of employees promoted from Scale II to Scale III, along with their written examination and interview marks.
Non-Publication of Promotion Marks:
The applicant questions the guidelines under which the bank refrained from publishing the names and marks of promoted employees on the Human Resource (HR) portal.
The RTI application filed by Kundan S. Humane highlights the need for greater clarity and transparency in the internal promotion process. By formally seeking information through established legal channels, the applicant aims to understand the basis of recent decisions and ensure that due processes are followed. The bank’s response will be instrumental in addressing these queries and reinforcing trust in its promotion policies.
