I am frequently asked this question. Well, filing an application wouldn't have been easier!Firstly, let's get the basics clear. RTI (Right to information) application can be filed against a public authority. Public authority is defined as follows in the law -"Public authority" means any authority or body or institution of self- government established or constituted—(a) by or under the Constitution;(b) by any other law made by Parliament;(c) by any other law made by State Legislature;(d) by notification issued or order made by the appropriate Government, and includes any—(i) body owned, controlled or substantially financed;(ii) non-Government organization substantially financed, directly or indirectly by funds provided by the appropriate GovernmentYou can ask any kind of information of public nature that isn't exempted under the law.The law also sets up authorities like Information commission at the state and the central level where you can appeal. Public Information officers are appointed.The authority from whom you are seeking information is bound by law to provide you information within 30 days.In case they reject your application, they are required to state the reason so that it can be challenged by you.In case where the matter involves the life and liberty of a person, then the authority is bound by law to provide you information within 48 hours.Now coming to filing an RTI application. You need to write an application. Plain and simple. It should be addressed to the Public Information officer, followed by the name of the authority from which you seek information. Here is a sample to help you -To,Public Information Officer,(Name of the authority)Subject - Request for information under the RTI Act, 2005.Dear Sir / Madam,My name is _______ . I am ____ (age), ________ (occupation), ___________ (Residing at) and I am seeking information concerning __________.(State clearly the information you require)I am a bona fide citizen of India.

The application fees of Rs. 10/- can be paid by a Postal order or a DD in the name of the authority. In case you require photocopies of the documents, pay additional reasonable amount required for the photocopies and mention the same in the application.You can simply send this application by post to the authority from whom you need information. The best option is to send the application by R.P.A.D. (Registered Post acknowledgment due). This will give you an acknowledgment of their receipt so you'll have a proof.You can even submit an application to the central government online - Submit Request FormHere you can make the payment online.RTI is truly essential for the transparent working of any democracy.

We were completing our training in our academy in Chennai and waiting for our first posting. One day in the first week of May (1993), someone informed that our posting orders were issued. In those days, there was no internet or mobile. People were frantically contacting the North Block and finding out their posting and that of their friends. Those who were getting postings in cities like Delhi, Mumbai or Ahmadabad were jumping with joy and those who got bad stations were consoled by the rest of us. Then I came to know that I was posted to Patna Commissionerate. My colleagues consoled me saying that it was only for a few years and that I can always get out of it the next year. I was also quite apprehensive about Bihar but I had no option but to join my first posting.Three of us were posted to Patna Central Excise Commissionerate and we joined within a week. On reaching Patna by train, we were happy to find uniformed officers receiving us on the Railway Station as we were accommodated in a decent departmental guest house. Within next two days, another transfer order was issued by the Commissioner and I was posted to Muzaffarpur Division, which was around 80 km from Patna. This post was lying vacant since last few months due to retirement of its last incumbent. I was asked to take my charge on the very next day. I informed the Superintendent (Preventive) of Muzaffarpur Division, who promised to send a vehicle on the next day at our guest house for picking me up. I was quite excited and also nervous that night.I could hardly sleep in the night in excitement.The next day, I was awakened by a knock on my door. When I opened the door, I found three young inspectors in uniform saluting me. They told me that they have come to receive me from Muzaffarpur and that the vehicle is waiting down for me. It was the first time that I received such crisp salutes and I actually forgot how to respond to salutes. Anyway, I quickly took bath and got ready for breakfast. I still remember that the cook prepared Aloo Paratha that day and I enjoyed it with curd and butter. The two uniformed sepoys took my suitcase and other luggage and kept it in the Jeep waiting downstairs. When I went down, I saw my first official vehicle. It was an old Mahindra Jeep with red/yellow light on the top. The driver was one Mr Jagdambika Misra who was also dressed in crisp uniform and he saluted me smartly. The officer opened the door of the Jeep as I boarded on the front seat.We had hardly travelled around 30 km, when I found two vehicles waiting for me on road. My vehicle was stopped near them and one person in uniform saluted me crisply and introduced me as Mr S N Srivastava, the Superintendent of Hazipur. He was accompanied by five inspectors and few sepoys. They presented me a bouquet of flower. He requested me to take some ‘jalpan’ (snacks) as I may be tired. I told him that I had just taken breakfast and not feeling like taking anything more. After his insistence, we went to a nearby hotel where a cabin was reserved for us. We took some light snacks and then started for Muzaffarpur. Mr Srivastava followed me with his team.When I reached to my Divisional office in Muzzaffarpur, I was surprised to find almost 40-50 officers in uniform waiting for me. They gave me a small Guard of Honour as I was escorted to my office chamber. I found that my name plate “A K Singh, IRS /Assistant Collector” already placed on the door of the chamber.My office chamber was fairly large room with attach toilet. It was beautifully decorated and could accommodate easily around 20-25 people. I sat on my chair. All other officers were standing. They too took their seat once I asked them to sit. Soon the Administrative Officer came with a file with “Assumption Charge” order and requested me to sign it. I thus took charge of the Assistant Collector of Central Excise Muzaffarpur.I was feeling very uncomfortable by being called ‘Sir’ by the senior officers of the department who were even older than my father. I wanted to tell them that they should rather call me by my name as I am too young but something inside told me not to say so. All the senior officers introduced themselves to me one by one. I was told that there are five Ranges under my charge and that my jurisdiction consists of five districts of Bihar namely Muzaffarpur, Hazipur, Chhapra, Siwan and Gopalganj. There were around hundred officers/staff reporting to me. We discussed informally with each other over tea, biscuits, kaju katri and cashew-nuts. I took a round of my office where I was introduced to other officers and staff. The office was quite big and several halls and rooms.I wanted to inform my family about the safe arrival at Muzaffarpur. I asked them if there is STD on my phone. I was told that my phone indeed had the STD facility. In those days, STD was a great luxury. It used to cost 1 call (Rs 1) for every two second of call and hence one minute call would cost around Rs 30. The rates used to be half after 7 PM and one quarter after 10 PM (till 6 AM). I immediately called my wife from my office phone and informed her of my safe arrival. Thereafter, I was told to relax in the guest house which was on the first floor of the building. I took my lunch there and took a little rest.I came down to my chamber once again around 3 PM. Now I saw so many files kept on my table. Soon the Administrative Officer came and requested me to sanction leaves, TAs, and several Bills. I had never done that before so I asked him, how it is to be done. He told me that I have to just sign on the note-sheet. I felt great thinking that just by one signature these sanctions shall be made. I was told that I am the Head of Office and has several powers to sanction. He brought to me one file after another and I sanctioned the items after discussing the matter with him.After sometime, my Superintend came to me and requested me to call on the other senior officer of the department viz. AC and DC of Customs whose offices were located nearly. I went there escorted by my officers. The application for Government Accommodation was already prepared by my AO. I was only required to sign. I met my senior officers there who were very nice to me. They welcomed me to Muzaffarpur and immediately allotted me a Government House. They also invited me for a dinner to be hosted in my honour in the evening at their residence. I came back to office by evening and started planning to bring my family in the next week.PS: I have spent now around 25 years in the department. I don’t even notice when I get a salute (I will surely notice if someone doesn’t). I am now so used to the power and perks of the office that they have stopped giving me any joy. Yet I still vividly remember the moments of my first taste of power, which was as sweet as the first love.
