How to File an RTI Application - A Step-by-Step Guide

The Right to Information (RTI) Act 2005 is one of the most powerful tools in the hands of an Indian citizen. Filing an RTI is simpler than most people think. First, identify the department (Public Authority) you need information from. Draft your questions clearly - focus on facts, not opinions. You can file online via the RTI portal or offline by post with a Rs 10 fee. If you do not receive a response within 30 days, you have the right to file a First Appeal.
