Hi, I was made to run around by the taluk office for getting the patta for my land. I will be filing a RTI application tomorrow 12th Apr 2008 and send it to the Chengelpet Taluk office. When I went there on 9th Apr to file it in person, I was promised by the sub-tahsildhar that the matter would be looked into and so I did not file the application as I decided to give them time. However, when I went there yesterday on 10th Apr, the sub-tahsildhar shot back at me that I should wait. I made the mistake of taking the sub-tahsildhar's word but I am planning to rectify that by sending the application through postal order. Please let me know the procedure for postal …

I've filed ITR-1 online for AY 2009-10 in 2009. At that time my AO(Ward/Circle) was 'ITO Ward 32(2)/DEL/W/62/2'. In that I claimed a refund by providing bank details for transfer. I was in Hyderabad but my IT details were still located in Delhi. After this my file got transferred to Hyderabad, and now my AO(Ward/Circle) is 'JCIT(P) R-12, HYD/APR/P/92/1'. I have read about the RTI format but my questions are - 1) To whom my RTI would be addressed - Delhi (Where file was located that time), Hyderabad (Where file is located now) or Bangalore-CPC (Because I filed electronically)? 2) Whatever be the case, what is address I need to mention in RTI (based on details pro…

The RPO in Hyderabad has the usual complaints against it - just like the other RPO's all over the country. No response to communications, no response on telephone, no response to emails and most importantly, the applicants are treated like a bunch of cattle. Every Newspaper in Hyderabad (English or Telugu) carries at least one letter everyday complaining about the Passport office - but as expected there has been no improvement. To probe deeper into the functioning of the Passport Office, I filed a RTI Application on 03 May 2010. The copy of the RTI Application is attached. The reply dated 25 May was received by me on 05 June 2010 in a envelope which clearly showed …

I was making a lot of RTI applications to be aware of the actual and factual position in PAs. In the process, I was successful in getting a lot of information in shape of Certified Photocopies. Those documents were piling up in my work room and I was feeling perplexed that what to do next. Officers had openly admitted and informed me about their irregularities and mocking now at me, do what you want to do. The complaints to higher were of no use as they are all chip of same stone, And I could also not bear the cost of going to court for Public Cause. I was discussing with many an RTI leaders who were even advocates but those were reluctant to file PILs on one pretext …

Hi guys, I need some help in framing questions (yes, I know you don't ask "questions" under RTI, but you get my point) regarding the voter registration form I submitted weeks ago. Skip to "RTI Application" part of my post if you don't have time. Why? While I understand I shouldn't be using RTI for such personal grievance purposes (at least that's what I have been told), the reason why I'm inclined to use it because I couldn't get proper answers from the staff at my VREC or the official Helpline of CEODelhi. Here's the telephonic conversation of how it went: I called the Helpline (1950) to enquire about the status of my application: Me: Hello, would yo…

My friend Shri Jayantilal Mistry [semi literate but socially active] of Vadodara Gujarat had sought information including RBI audit report of a coop bank from Reserve Bank of India under RTI Act on 19-10-2010, which was denied under sections 8.1 a [economic interest of country], and 8.1.e [fiduciary relationship].
