New Delhi: The Central Information Commission (CIC) will not return RTI appeals and complaints merely on account of non-submission of photo ID of the applicant.

RTI rules do not specifically provide for furnishing of photo identity document along with appeals and complaints, minister of state for personnel, public grievances and pensions Jitendra Singh said in response to a written question in Rajya Sabha.

"However, in compliance with directions of Punjab High Court in 2012, the appellants were asked to provide their photo ID proof along with other documents, while filing appeal/complaints in CIC," the minister said.

The commission, however, has decided that no appeal or complaint would be returned merely on account of non-submission of photo ID by the appellant, he added.

A total of 1.54 lakh RTI applications were pending with various public authorities as on September 30. The minister said in 2012-13, 886,681 RTI applications were received by various public authorities of which 62,231 were rejected, in 2013-14 a total of 962,630 were received of which 60,127 were rejected.

Further, in 2014-15, 845,032 were received with 63,351 of them being rejected and, in 2015-16 (till September 30, 2015) 376,435 applications were received of which 25,792 were rejected.
