Advocate and Chartered Accountant Nipun Singhvi had sought from State Bank of India, the largest bank in India a list of wilful defaulters declared by it from 2015 to 2019 having default of more than Rs. 1 Crore. The bank denied the information stating that the same includes commercial confidence and is held in fiduciary capacity. The bank further stated that since the information is also related to a third party, it is exempted from disclosure under sections 8(1) (d) (e) & (j) of RTI Act, 2005. This was done by the bank despite the Supreme Court, in April in the matter titled Girish Mittal v Parvati V Sundaram giving RBI the ultimatum to disclose list of loan defaulters and withdraw its present disclosure policy.
