Reported on January 20, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #33861


Every department has a Public Information Officer to whom you can submit your RTI application to. Filing an RTI is simple.




  • You download Form A of section 6(1) and 7(1) of the RTI Act of 2005. 


  • You need to give in the following details in the form:


  • Name and address of the Applicant.


  • The information that you are filing the RTI for.


  • The name and address of the Public Information officer of the department you wish to seek the information from.


  • Enclose the application with Rs.10 in the form of  DD, Money Order, Postal Order or affixing Court fee Stamp.


  • Make sure you get a letter of acknowledgement once your application is accepted by the officer of the concerned department.

In many of your answers, I read that you have asked people to file an RTI (Right to information). I wanted to know that how do I file an RTI? Where and which office do I need to go to do that? Can it be done for any of the Govt action?
