[HumJanenge] Predicament of a PIO

Predicament of a PIO   An RTI applicant has asked about the pay and arrears paid to an employee during the last few years.  The applicant claims to be the wife of the employee and when the PIO asked the employee under the provision of section 11 (third party disclosure), he (employee) said that the details should not be divulged as these are personal and exempt u.s. 8 while the pay remuneration of all the employees should be disclosed u.s. 4 (suo-motu disclosure) but that section is silent on arrears paid from time to time.    Now, PIO is in dilemma on the next course of action and has asked to take the expert advice from the enlightened members of this blog.  This information will also be useful to boost knowledge of the members of this group.
