Hack of the day: File RTI Online for central government departments

Need official information from a government ministry, PSU, or department—but don’t want to visit an office or send a physical application? The RTI Online portal makes it easy to file a Right to Information (RTI) request digitally for central government bodies. Whether you're seeking data, documents, or decisions, this tool empowers citizens to demand transparency from the comfort of their homes.

What you can do

Using RTI Online, you can:

Request information from central ministries, departments, and public sector undertakings
Track your application and receive responses digitally
Appeal if you don’t get a reply within the mandated time

Quick steps to file

Visit rtionline.gov.in
Register or log in to your account
Click “Submit Request” and select the relevant ministry or department
Write your query clearly, focusing on specific records or documents
Pay ₹10 online and submit your application
