About the service. NoLegalPaisa helps citizens exercise their Right to Information. We assess your issue, identify the correct public authority and Public Information Officer (PIO), draft a clear and well-framed RTI application, file it (online or by post) and pay the prescribed fee, then track the response and explain it in plain language. Where a reply is unsatisfactory or not received in time, we help with the First Appeal and, if needed, the Second Appeal.
Who can file. Under the Right to Information Act, 2005, only citizens of India can file an RTI, and information can be sought only from a "public authority" (government departments, ministries, PSUs, local bodies and substantially government-funded bodies). RTI cannot be used against purely private companies or individuals.
Timelines. A PIO is generally required to respond within 30 days of receiving the application (within 48 hours where the information concerns the life or liberty of a person). A First Appeal can be filed within 30 days of the reply or its due date; a Second Appeal to the Information Commission within 90 days. Actual timelines depend on the authority.
No guaranteed outcome. We draft and file your application diligently, but the information provided — and whether it is provided at all — is decided by the public authority. Certain information is exempt from disclosure under Sections 8 and 9 of the Act (for example, matters affecting national security, sovereignty, personal information with no public interest, commercial confidence, cabinet papers, or information held in a fiduciary capacity), and an authority may lawfully decline or redact such information. We cannot guarantee a particular response, the disclosure of specific information, or adherence to timelines by the authority.
Your responsibility. You must provide accurate, lawful details and a genuine information requirement. RTI must not be used for purposes that are frivolous, vexatious or contrary to law. Information you share is handled confidentially and used only to deliver the service.

The Public Information Officer must generally reply within 30 days of receiving your application — or within 48 hours if the information concerns someone's life or liberty.
The standard government RTI fee is ₹10 for central public authorities (state fees vary; BPL applicants are often exempt). Our plans start at ₹199 for an expert consultation, with RTI filing at ₹299 — we handle the drafting, filing and tracking.

No — an RTI must carry the applicant's name and address (you're confirming you're a citizen). However, you don't have to disclose why you want the information. We keep your details confidential.
