I support producing the id proof for the information solicited not covered covered u.s. 4 (suo-motu disclosure) of RTIA to do away with fake or non-serious RTI applications as the applicants have option refraining himself from the FAA or Commission's hearings.
By this, only genuine info seekers will come forward and will lighten the burden of PA, FAA and Commissions in the absence of applicants seeking long information some times to harass the PA / CPIOs. If v r serious to stop the misuse of the Act, this is desired and for a citizen, there will not b any problem to prove his/ her nationality.

The RTI Act distinguishes between information "dissemination" (ie. proactively / suo-moto) to the entire world, and information "disclosure" (ie. on formal application to be provided to AN INDIAN CITIZEN - WITHIN INDIA on payment).
In the 2nd case, the public authority can demand proof of the above 2 criteria before disclosing the information.
PS: I haven't read the PHC judgment as yet.

I think we should be able to request this anonymously.
RTI act Chapter II, 1(a) says that the public authority should have this info computerized and easily accessible.
Someone had to put in an RTI request because information that should have been public was not public.
If the information was public in the first place, it could have been accessed anonymously.
I understand that we should protect the system from requests whose only intent is to burden the system, but there are other ways to achieve that.
Whether some information is public or not does not and should not depend on who is asking for it.
