a photocopy(xerox) can not be used anywhere as photo.
‘personal information’ is exempt from disclosure under the Right to Information Act, unless there was larger public interest involved.
Hope this clarifies
you do not need to disclose your personal details, bank details, your checks and balances, Aadhaar card details, voter id, pan card, etc.
however you can send them the paper works proving your name, age, educational qualifications.
