Right to Information Act

A Brief on RTI-Act, 2005

The Right to Information Act 2005 (Act No. 22/2005) is a law enacted by the Parliament of India, giving citizens of India access to records of Central Govt. and State Govts. The Act applies to all States and Union Territories of India, except the State of Jammu and Kashmir - which is covered under a State-level law. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen (including the citizens within J&K) may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Govt. or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerise their records for wide dissemination and to proactively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally. This law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 13th October 2005. Information disclosure in India was hitherto restricted by the Official Secrets Act, 1923 and various other special laws, which the new RTI Act now relaxes.
