METHOD OF SEEKING INFORMATION FROM THE CONCERNED PUBLIC AUTHORITY

A citizen, who desires to obtain any information under the Act, should make an application to the public information officer of the concerned public authority in writing in English or Hindi or in the official language of the area in which the application is made. The application should be precise and specific. He should make payment of application fee at the time of submitting the application as prescribed in the RTI rules, 2012 . The applicant can send the application by post or through electronic means or can deliver it personally in the office of the public authority. The application can also be sent through an Assistant public information officer. The applicant should make application to the public information officer of the concerned public authority. He should make all efforts to ascertain as to which the public authority is concerned with the information. If the information sought by an applicant is related to different public information officers in a public authority or is related to different public authorities, the supply of information is likely to take a lot more time than if the information sought is related to a single public information officer in one public authority :-- Er Fateh chand Guleria, Director, RTI welfare Association registered number HPCD, 3552 phone number, 9459334377
