Salary slips are not disclosable under the RTI Act. The reasoning being that salary slips contain deductions made from the salary, remittances made to bank towards any loan amount, to the income tax department, deductions made to provident fund etc all of which are personal information under section 8(1)(j) of the RTI act.

However, you can file RTI to know the salary structure of a particular post in the Govt office.
