RTI Complaint & Appeal

The Government of India always lays emphasis on making the lives of its citizens easy, smooth and making India truly democratic. Keeping this in mind the RTI Act has been established.

RTI stands for Right To Information and has been given the status of a fundamental right under Article 19(1) (a) of the Constitution. Under Article 19(1) (a), every citizen has freedom of speech and expression and has the right to know how the government works, what role it plays, what are its functions and so on.

The citizens of India can now file in their complaints and Second appeals through the newly crafted RTI Complaint & Appeal Module under the National Portal of India. RTI Act confers right to access to information held by a Public Authority. In case you have been denied the access to information you may file Complaint and 2nd Appeal online to the Central Information Commission (CIC) using the links now made available in the public domain. Following are some of the facilities available through the web-enabled interface:

      - Lodge Your Complaint
      - Check Your Complaint Status
      - Lodge your Second Appeal
      - Check Your Second Appeal Status
