Can I ask the PIO to send a bulk paper information to my email by making a PDF if the said information is only available to them in Hard copies? Can PIO reject the application in such circumstances or he/she has to provide the same in the format which is available in the office?

As per the current interpretation of the RTI Act, 2005
- If the information does not exist in electronic form and you are asking the PIO to send the information in soft copies, it is not permissible under RTI Act. Photocopies of the hard copies can be demanded and obtained.
