Employees emoluments

: Information pertaining to monthly remuneration of
employees of public departments, besides the system of compensation
comes under the ambit of the RTI Act, the Central Information
Commission (CIC) has said.

"As per the Right to Information Act, the monthly remuneration
received by each of the officers and employees including the system of
compensation as provided in its regulations should be put in public
domain," Information Commissioner M M Ansari said.

The Commission gave the ruling while hearing an appeal of Delhi
resident Vishu Bhagwan Sharma, who had sought salary details of an
employee in the Department of Posts.

In his appeal before the apex transparency panel, Sharma said the
department had denied him the information pertaining to the salary of
an employee.

He had sought disclosure of salary and compensation of an employee,
who was identified in his RTI application.
