RTI Wiki aims to be the most accurate RTI reference on the Indian internet. If something is wrong — an outdated fee, a superseded case citation, a stale portal URL, a typo — we want to hear from you. Most corrections are acknowledged in a day and fixed within 48 hours.

The one-click way

Email us at admin@bighelpers.in with the subject line “RTI Wiki Correction — [slug of the page]“.

Example subject line: `RTI Wiki Correction — explanations/grounds-for-rejection`

Thank you.

What we do with your correction

  1. Acknowledge within 24 hours — an editor picks up the email and opens a review ticket.
  2. Verify within 48 hours — we check the source you cited; if it holds, we update the page.
  3. Publish — your correction goes live and the page footer records a new Last reviewed date.
  4. Credit (optional) — if you give us your name and role, we note the contribution in our changelog.
  5. Follow-up — if there is ambiguity, we email back with a clarifying question.

What qualifies as a correction

  • Factual errors — wrong fee, wrong portal URL, wrong SIC address, wrong case citation.
  • Stale / superseded content — a case overturned, a rule amended, a scheme guideline replaced.
  • Formatting / typo fixes — we accept these gratefully, even if minor.
  • Dead internal links — broken wiki links, missing cross-references.
  • Outdated deep links — where a linked internal page has moved.

What is not a correction (but still welcome)

  • Feedback or suggestions — for new articles, features, or a different perspective on an issue. Send it to the same address; we triage.
  • Specific legal-advice requests — we do not provide personalised legal advice; please consult a qualified advocate. You can find generic guidance at our FAQ and explanations.
  • Complaints about a public authority — not our jurisdiction; please use the RTI filing process and, if necessary, the appeal route.

Why we take corrections seriously

RTI Wiki is used by citizens filing their first RTI, by PIOs training in their role, and by First Appellate Authorities writing orders. A wrong fee rate, a stale case citation, a superseded rule — each of these can cause a citizen to miss a deadline or a PIO to sign an appealable order.

Our commitment is simple: we would rather be slower and right than fast and wrong. Your correction keeps us honest.
