| The Central Information Commission gets over 400 RTI application every day from across the country. HOW TO FILE AN RTI APPLICATION AN INDIAN citizen can seek information under RTI Act, 2005, on a simple paper addressed to the public information officer (PIO) of the concerned department. THE APPLICANT must pay the RTI fee of Rs 10 per application, in cash, through bank draft or postal order along with the application. THE PIO must provide the information within 30 days after receipt of application, and within 48 hours if information sought concerns a person’s life and liberty. THE PIO can ask for photocopy charges of Rs two per page for the information being provided. NO RESPONSE? HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO IF INFORMATION is not provided within stipulated 30 days, the applicant can file an appeal with the appellate authority of the department, from which information was sought. No fees to be paid. IF YOU ARE not satisfied with the appellate authority’s decision, you can file a second appeal with the state information commission or the central information commission, depending on the jurisdiction of the information sought. THE ACT GIVES the information commissions the power to impose a penalty of maximum of up to Rs 25,0000 against the PIO if information has been denied deliberately. |
