Citizens cannot invoke their right to information to compel commercial banks to share details on operation of their ATMs. The Central Information Commission made the observation as it turned down an RTI application seeking information from the country’s biggest lender, SBI, about the operation of its ATMs.
“Information concerning operation of ATMs is really a matter of commercial confidence and as a matter of fact, lot of security is involved in such a procedure and such information can not be given to any outsider,” information commissioner Padma Balasubramanian said in a recent order.
The order came on the plea of G Ramachandra Rao, of Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh, who had approached SBI with a list of queries ranging from defective disbursement of its ATMs to seeking copies of guidelines framed by RBI and Indian Banks’ Association on maintenance of the automated teller machines.
