File a Strong RTI, Step by Step
Use this interactive guide to understand which information you can ask for, how to address the correct PIO, what fee & timeline applies, and when to file a First or Second Appeal under the Right to Information Act, 2005.
01
Confused & in the dark
You suspect something is wrong, but no file or decision is visible.
02
RTI Application drafted
You clearly ask for existing records, documents or status updates.
03
Reply or silence
PIO replies within 30 days (or 48 hours for life & liberty) — or fails to respond.
04
Appeal & escalation
You file First Appeal to senior officer, then Second Appeal to CIC/SIC if needed.
05
Information + accountability
Information is disclosed, files move, and decisions become transparent.
Step 2 – Build your RTI questions & draft
1. What information do you want?
2. Period the information covers
3. How should information be provided?
4. Your details (for draft only)
RTI Draft Preview (Plain Paper / Online Form)
This is a structured preview based on your inputs and the RTI Act requirements. A NoLegalPaisa lawyer will refine language, address correct CPIO/SPIO/APIO, and attach proof (BPL, if applicable).
Start typing your questions and details on the left. Your RTI draft will appear here following the standard structure: heading, address to PIO, applicant details, information sought, fee/BPL declaration, citizen declaration, date and signature.
Step 3 – Understand your RTI timeline & appeals
Filing the RTI Application
- Identify the correct Public Authority and address the Central / State Public Information Officer (CPIO/SPIO).
- If unsure, send to Assistant PIO (APIO) – they must forward to the right PIO within 5 days.
- Application clearly headed: “Application under the Right to Information Act, 2005”.
- Fee of ₹10 is paid via cash, DD/cheque, IPO or online portal. BPL applicants attach BPL card and are fee-exempt.
- NoLegalPaisa checks that your questions seek existing records and are not hypothetical or opinion-based.
