Frequently asked questions

Who can file an RTI application?

Any citizen of India can file an RTI application under Section 6 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 to seek information from a public authority. You do not have to give a reason for seeking the information.

How long does the PIO have to reply?

The Public Information Officer must normally respond within 30 days of receiving the application (48 hours where it concerns the life or liberty of a person). If there is no reply or the reply is unsatisfactory, you can file a first appeal.

What is the RTI fee?

The application fee is ₹10 for Central public authorities (State fees vary). Applicants below the poverty line (BPL) are exempt on producing proof. Additional charges may apply for photocopies of records.

What if my RTI is ignored or refused?

You can file a First Appeal under Section 19(1) to the First Appellate Authority within 30 days of the PIO's decision. If still unresolved, a Second Appeal lies to the Central or State Information Commission within 90 days.

How should RTI questions be framed?

Ask specific, factual, answerable questions and request certified copies where needed. Vague, argumentative, or opinion-seeking questions are commonly rejected — our drafter sharpens your queries into clear, numbered points.
