Yes, you can file an RTI to get the details of a specific bank branch. According to §6(1) of the RTI Act, you can file an application to the PIO of the bank, asking for the branch details. The bank is required to provide you with the information, as it is related to their public functions.

Before filing an RTI, you can try to get the information from the bank's website or by calling their customer care. Sometimes, banks provide the branch details on their website or through their customer care. If they don't provide the information, then you can file an RTI application to the bank, as suggested by the other members.

The chances of getting a positive response from the bank are high, as the information is related to their public functions and is readily available. The bank should provide you with the information, as it is not exempt under any of the exemptions listed in the RTI Act.
