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 ?

 Regards

Milind Kotak
