This resulted in automatic generation of opening balances of pending cases also indicating figures on registration, disposal and closing balance of cases at the end of a particular reference period. The system now provides expandable hyperlink for details of the cases in all four categories i.e opening balance, registration, disposal and closing balance. Particulars of file number, name of appellant/complainant, Public Authority, date of registration, date of hearing and the date of disposal are shown against each of the above category. The details can also be seen for cases allocated to each Information Commissioner, unlike earlier manual arrangements which provided details in respect of the Commission as a whole. The reconciliation process resulted in generating the reporting figures on real time basis. The details can be seen under the hyperlink “Monthly Progress Report” at http://cic.gov.in 17
