Why RTI Wiki exists

RTI is a statutory right, not a paid service. The Government fee is usually Rs. 10. The hard part is asking precise questions, finding the right authority, and knowing when to appeal. RTI Wiki equips users to file their own RTIs.

The site is not a law firm and does not offer legal advice. Readers who need advice on a specific matter should consult a qualified practitioner.
