February 19, 2008
SiliconIndia: Commercial banks cannot be compelled under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to divulge the operational details of their ATMs, the Central Information Commission (CIC) has ruled.
"Information pertaining to operation of ATMs is really a matter of commercial confidence. As a matter of fact, a lot of security is involved in such a procedure and such information cannot be given to any outsider," CIC's information commissioner Padma Balasubramanian held in a ruling on Jan 29.
