The first step is downloading RTI Act available in this forum, preferably in your mother tongue or purchasing a book.

Reading Sec.2h 5,6,7 ,11, 18,19 & 20

Second thing to search website of Public Authority from whom you wish to seek information to locate Public Information officer, format of RTI Application, mode of payment of RTI fee.

Any citizen can seek information that is available in material form as record with that Public authority.

Questioning is not proper. Always commence the query.

Please provide

On RTI you can not seek, but under RTI you can seek.

You have to file RTI Application to PIO seeking information with fees

wait for response for 30 days.

In case of no response and unsatisfactory reply making first appeal to a superior officer designated as First Appellate authority of the same dept.

Waiting for 30 days for FAA response, then making second appeal to Information Commission .

These are fundamentals.

1. First identify the subject on which you wish to seek the information for example Police, Municipality, Passport, Income Tax, Railways etc.

 

2. Please understand that Police, Municipality, Health, internal roads of a State etc. are State Govt. subjects (falls under a Chief Minister and his council of Ministers), whereas Passport, Income Tax, Railways etc. are Central Govt. subjects (falls under the Prime Minister and his council of Ministers).

 

3. If you wish to file a RTI application on a STATE Govt. subject then the particular State Govt. RTI rules for fees & format shall apply,

Whereas, if you wish to file a RTI application on a CENTRAL Govt. subject then the Central Govt. RTI rules for fees & format shall apply.

 

Please read the blogs on the following links to learn more about it:

      Information denied under 8(1)(d)
      By Shree Vathsan
      I had sought details of loan and copies of agreement entered with World Bank, JICA etc. of IT Expressway Chennai (created in partnership with Govt of TN) However the PIO has replied that they have moved out of world bank loan and taken loan from other banks details of which cannot be disclosed under 8(1) d of RTI Act citing "commercial confidence".
      However the IT Expressway is a public limited company having entered into agreement with Govt of TN and others for developing and maintaining a particular stretch of road.
       
      Kindly help me frame a good first appeal.

      RTI- Any expert on co-operative matter?
      By shrivar1212
      Hello,
      I require help on co-operative issue. I had filed the RTI with the PIO, Dy registrar of co-op societies seeking information on affairs of society.
      The PIO has replied stating that the information I am seeking is available with co-operative society. My query is:
      1] Can PIO direct an applicant to private body for information?
      2] The society in question comes under the jurisdiction of the PIO, since PIO is public authority and co-operative society a private body, is it not duty of PIO to seek information from society and give it to me? How can PIO direct me back to society? This is RTI application, either I have to appeal or I have to forego. I cannot complaint against reply. So I want to approach FAA, under what grounds can I?
      3] What kind of violation PIO has committed by directing me back to private society? 
      4] Does co-operative society come under the purview of RTI ACt?
      Your views are appreciated. I am fighting lone battle with corrupt system.
