Please refer to reply of P.I. Cell letter No.ITPO/PIC/07/07/2014 dated 6.8.2014 furnished against my RTI application seeking information about deputation of ITPO employees.  In this connection, I would like to submit that reply against Point No.3 & 4 of my application is not satisfactory as I had requested for providing copy of written policy/ guidelines / criteria for sending officers/ officials of ITPO on deputation. But the same has been replied as under:
“The norms of deputation of overseas events is as under:
Selection of Fair officer/Project team is based on performance, delivery, merit, suitability including financial and Vigilance clearance.  Seniority is also given due weightage though merit will remain the guiding factor.”
In this connection, I would like to reiterate that my question was about some written documents where the aforesaid norms are mentioned.  There must be some base to above answer whether that was notified/ circulated or not; that document should have been provided against my reply (either written in some noting portion or anywhere else). There was  a policy framed for deputing ITPO employees on foreign events at the time of the then CMD, Shri Yogesh Chandra.  Has that been discontinued or existing? Reference about the same policy should have been made and documents in support of my reply should have been furnished. 
Perhaps my queries were not answered for want of direct/ specific questions.  To facilitate the PIO my queries are as under:

-these norms have been approved by CMD/BODs.
-Policy of former CMD, Shri Yogesh Chandra.  If no policy, written direction of CMD/ BODs for induction of practice sending lower staff.
-How and when this practice was discontinued?
(e)  I may be allowed to inspect the files where these norms/policy/ decisions for sending an official on foreign deputation have been taken by the management.
It is requested that the reply to my submission may please be given keeping in view the above.”

The First Appellate Authority, ITPO after having perused the RTI Application, information furnished by DPIO, ITPO and first Appeal of the applicant/appellant ruled that copy of the deputation policy approved by the competent authority being followed presently since 11.6.2010, may be provided to the applicant.    Other points raised in your appeal, being fresh points cannot be considered at the appellate stage.

निवेदन इस प्रकार है कि मैंने दिनांक 7.11.2014 को सूचना अधिकार नियम के तह्त कुछ जानकारी मांगी थी परन्तु आपके द्वारा दिये गये जवाब से मै संतुष्ट नही हूं 1  कृप्या मझे पूरी जानकारी दी जाये ! कि आपके द्वारा आयोजित  6 oct to 8 oct, 2014 को होने वाले INSPIRE FAIR मे खरीदे  à¤—ये समान का  टैडर किस तारीख को आयोजित किया गया व वह किस अखबार मे या ONLINE प्रदर्शित किया गया !  à¤¤à¤¥à¤¾ यह एक  OPEN TENDER था जिसकी डेट किसी भी रूप से गोपनीय नही हो सकती है ! इसकी डेट बताने से विभाग को आने वाले  TENDERS  मे फाइनेंसियल फायदा होगा व TENDER  भी पार्दर्शिता सामने आयेगी!

The applicant has also submitted a Rejoinder dated 3.2.2014 received in ITPO on 6.2.2015 conveying as under:

निवेदन इस प्रकार है कि मैंने दिनाक 12.12.2014 को आपको एक पत्र लिखा था जिसका जवाब मुझे आपके द्वारा 16.1.2015 को दिया गया1  मै आपको बताना चाहुंगा कि मैंने आपको अपने पत्र मे क्रय किये गये समानों  (टी शर्ट/ कप/मग) के रेट (मुल्य) मांगे थे ना कि डेट. कृपया मुझे मेरे द्वारा मांगी गई सही जानकारी उपल्बध कराने की कृपा करें।

The First Appellate Authority, ITPO after having perused the RTI Application, information furnished by DPIO, ITPO and first Appeal of the applicant/appellant and observed that Appellant has now specified the points on which, the information provided to him, is incomplete, directed PIO to provide following information:

Appellant may be informed that  for the purpose of procurement like T-Shirt, cap & bag, mug etc. for Inspire Fair,  ITPO published its open tender in ITPO website, Central procurement website & ITPO’s empanelled news paper.   Then such tender cancelled due to some administrative issues.

On the second stage, a limited tender enquiry related to items such as T-shirts, caps & bags is floated in the ITPO website & in newspaper also.  Then our committee cancelled the second because items were not matched so far as per DST’s requirement.

The time was very short and there was no more time to invite tender/bids through proper mechanism like open tender or limited tender unless the suggested items, like mug, T-shirts, caps & bags wouldn’t procured before deadline.

इस संदर्भ में  आपको सूचित किया जा रहा है कि आई टी पी ओ के प्रथम अपीलीय प्राधिकारी ने आपके आर टी आई आवेदन पत्र, आई टी पी ओ के उप जन सूचना अधिकारी द्वारा दी गयी जानकारी, आवेदक द्वारा दी गयी पहली अपील तथा दिनांक 03.02.2015 के पत्र को ध्यान से पढ कर माना है कि  à¤…पीलकर्ता को उनके आर टी आई आवेदन पत्र, में पूछे गये प्रश्नो का मदवार उत्तर दे दिया है तथा उसे उचित समझा गया है । यहां फिर से दोहराया गया है कि दरों के बारे में चाही गयी जानकारी निजी और वाणिज्यिक होने के कारण उसे सार्वजनिक करना तृतीय  पक्ष की प्रतियोगी हैसियत को नुकसान पहुंचा सकता है और इस कारण इसे आर टी आई अधिनियम 2005 की धारा 8(1)(घ) और 11 के अनुसार नहीं दिया जा सकता है। तीसरे पक्ष ने कहा हैउनके वाणिज्यिक विश्वास को  सार्वजनिक नहीं किया जाए ।
