Right to Access Public Information: The RTI Act

The Right to Information Act, 2005 is your most powerful reporting tool.

You can file RTIs to:

• Expose scams
• Investigate government programs
• Track public spending

Government offices must reply within 30 days. If they don’t, you can escalate the issue to the Information Commission.

Remember: Asking the right questions in the RTI format gives you official proof for your stories—and legal backing for your claims.
