The Site is maintained by BigHelpers Software & Solutions Private Limited (the “Publisher”). It publishes encyclopaedic content on:

• The Right to Information Act, 2005, its Rules, amendments, and case law.
• Central and State Information Commission orders, Supreme Court and High Court judgments.
• Guides, templates, samples and how-tos aimed at Indian citizens who wish to exercise their right to information.
• Data-driven analyses of RTI implementation, performance of public authorities, and transparency trends.

The Site is not a law firm, a legal-services provider, a government agency, or a professional advisory service. It does not take instructions, accept retainers, or represent any user in a legal or quasi-legal proceeding.

Content on the Site — including articles, sample RTI applications, reply templates, case summaries, FAQs, blog posts, and AI-generated drafts — is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It is not tailored to any specific person, fact pattern, or cause of action.

• Do not treat the Site's content as a substitute for advice from an advocate, chartered accountant, company secretary, or other qualified professional.
• Always verify the current position of the law, current rules, current fee schedule, and current state-specific procedures before filing any application, appeal, or representation.
• RTI law and practice change. Central and state rules are amended frequently; Information Commissions and courts issue new rulings regularly; the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and its 2025 Rules have altered the exemption landscape. The Site endeavours to stay current, but lag is possible.

No lawyer–client, fiduciary, or professional relationship is formed by reading the Site, using its templates, or filing an RTI drafted with its AI tools. The Site gives no guarantee about the outcome of any RTI application, appeal, writ, consumer complaint, or other legal action.

The Site's editorial team reviews content periodically (each article carries a “Last reviewed” date). Nevertheless:

• Statutory citations, section numbers, clause references, and judgment citations should be cross-verified against primary sources (Gazette of India, cic.gov.in, indiankanoon.org, official state RTI portals) before use in formal proceedings.
• Third-party data (for example, CIC Annual Reports, Satark Nagrik Sangathan report cards, CHRI analyses) is quoted from the sources cited on each page; readers should consult the primary report for precise, formal citation.
• Numerical figures, deadlines, fees, and turnarounds are drawn from the best publicly reported sources at the date of review; they can change without notice.
• Broken or moved URLs: external links may expire; please report them via admin@bighelpers.in and we will update.

If you find an error, please email admin@bighelpers.in with the page URL, the nature of the error, and (if possible) a source for the correct position. Verified corrections are made within 7 working days and logged in the page's edit history.

• Sample RTI applications, First-Appeal and Second-Appeal templates, and PIO reply formats are drafting aids. They are not filled-in legal instruments. Users must adapt them to the facts of their case.
• The Site's AI drafting tool (AI to draft your RTI) generates text based on user inputs. The output is not reviewed by a lawyer. Users are solely responsible for the final content of anything they submit to a public authority or court.
• The Site does not store the content of RTI applications drafted with its tool beyond the immediate session, except aggregated, non-identifying usage metrics. See the Privacy Policy for details.
