The Central Information Commission (CIC) today directed the state-owned Air India to make public the details of all the perks and privileges enjoyed by their top-brass.
Information commissioner Sushma Singh told the officials of National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL) — the company formed after the merger of Air India and Indian Airlines — to give the details of "pay, perks and privileges" enjoyed by its chairman, managing director and functional directors to RTI activist Subhash Chandra Agrawal.
In a reply to his RTI application, NACIL's general manager, finance, who should be in the thick of company's financial matters, had said the information about pay and perks of the company's top bosses is not with him.
The commission also asked the air carrier to transfer the application to civil aviation ministry so that similar details about the minister could be furnished and provided to Agrawal.
The activist had sought the details of pay, perks, privileges and facilities enjoyed by top bosses of Air India, Indian Airlines and the civil aviation minister.
"We tried our best to obtain the information sought by you but not received the same," NACIL had said in its reply.
