How to file a RTI Application?

22 December 2008 - 5:39am — kbsyed61

It's very simple, easy and no-brainer. No different than filing a complaint with government authorities.

  1. Find the concerned 'PIO - Public Information Officer' and Mailing Address, usually available from their websites.

           Look here for links to various websites

  1. Also find out the prescribed fee (usually it Rs.10/- per application) and Payable authority.
  2. Prepare a RTI application asking for right information.

          Look Here for Sample Letter

  1. Buy a Rs.10/- postal order at Post office and make payable to the concerned account authority,
  2. Register post the RTI application along with the postal order. Good idea to send it with an acknowledgment.
  3. You should get a reply within 30 days. If not you have a right to follow up.
  4. If the reply is taking time beyond 30 days, you have the option to appeal to the designated appellate authority
  5. If this appeal also doesn't work, you can take up the matter with SIC (State Information Council).
  6. The last stop would be at CIC.

 

NOTE: Please save copies of application, PO folio, receipt for register post and all correspondences relating to the case for futher refrences if need arises.
