After PMC bank episode in Mumbai which impacted so many innocent public. If this RTI Act could encompass these Private Bank which deal with Public Money like the Tax Money in Government Department, would contain corruption. Can this RTI Foundation could be a torch bearer in this regard to move a proposal and take initiative before the appropriate forum/ Authority please....

Most Private organisations are not covered under the ambit of the RTI Act. However, these organisations are answerable to RBI which is within the ambit of RTI. We would recommend that you become the torch-bearer and take up the issue on your behalf and that of other innocent people.
