Dear Nidhi, Many of us have to draft our texts as carefully as IC OPK:-)
Here is what I said;- 1) It is NOT OK for a PIO to seek /demand proof of citizenship at time of receiving application. 2) It is OK for PIO to seek /demand such proof at time of releasing / intimating the disclosure of information. In my own case the PIO of SC recently refused to accept Rs.10 application fee till we gave photo ID proof of Government that we are Indian citizens.

When it is not a mandatory document required along with the application (which is given on a plain paper), then why should this be demanded by the PIO? It could be only in the rarest of rare cases when there is doubt about nationality. Thankfully it has been put on record by IC OPK with a carefully worded decision. >
