Dear Sidharth : Beyond doubt a nationalized Bank like Dena Bank can only appoint CPIO's and cannot appoint SPIO's.
Sometime in the beginning of this year I was in the process of making an Application to Dena Bank and in that conenction noticed the above error on the website. I did write to the CMD of the Bank bringing the above error to his notice. Copy of the above letter is enclosed. Through a letter dated February 4, 2009, the AGM - Legal of the Bank did reply to my above letter . From this reply it was evident that they have interpreted the Act as they are entitled to appoint SPIO's and CPIO's and according to them a PIO related to the Head office level is called as CPIO and a PIO not related to Head office is a SPIO. Subsequently I got the information I was seeking for without using RTI Act and hence did not oursue the above Reply further. Do you intend to make RTI Applications to Dena Bank ?
