It covers almost all the categories of Public departments/Government departments including Judiciary, RBI and Police.

Further, police can also deny providing personal information under sec. 8(1) (j) to protect the privacy of the police officer. Information can also be denied under sec 8(1) (h) where provision of information impedes the process of investigation and prosecution of offender.
