seems that the appellant has some grievance about the method that was
adopted for calculating his pension arrears and his pensionable service and
hence has filed multiple RTI applications revolving around the same issue. The
Commission notes that in every reply given by the CPIO, the appellant has
been suitably guided so that he may access the available information himself.
He has been also informed that if he has any grievance related to his pension
calculation or otherwise, he may utilise EPFO's online grievance redressal
portal (epfigms.gov.in) so that his concerns may be directly addressed by the
concerned field office which has granted his pension. However, rather than
doing so, the appellant has filed multiple RTI applications with the respondent
organisation. During the hearing, among other submissions, the appellant
submitted that the respondent organisation is not following the EPF Scheme in
a proper way due to which he has suffered some financial loss in the form of
less pensionable service being counted and less pension arrears paid to him.
On this point, the Commission concurs with the order passed in Appeal no.
