NON-LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES NOT IMPLEMENTING THE RTI ACT
The government undertaking non-life insurance companies like National Insurance Company, United India Insurance Company, New India Assurance Company and the Oriental Insurance Company have not implemented the RTI Act so far. They have neither designated the PIOs and the First appellate Authorities nor have they made proactive disclosures as required u/s 4 of the RTI Act. I could not locate the same on their respective websites despite spending considerable time on it.The RTI Act is already more than five years old, but the non-implementation of this Act by these companies is really surprising, though being Govt. undertakings, they were bound to implement it in letter & spirit from the inception of the Act. It is a matter of guess for us how many more years they will take to arise from slumber and choose to implement the transparency law.
