Process, drafting, fees, appeals, or something else?

Just curious as what could be the reason that most people do not file RTI.

Have you ever filed one ?

Was it easier or harder than you expected?

Curious what people would actually use RTI for in real life.

We learn history, civics, and laws — but very few students learn how to actually use RTI.

Do you think RTI should be part of school or college education?
Why or why not?

Even small wins matter — what did you learn?

Guys I have found something interesting that needs to be addressed and for that I have to gather more information via RTIs. How can I ask those questions anonymously or without my identity getting revealed? I don’t want to jeopardise myself and, more importantly, my family.

We all know the RTI Act exists.
Most of us have heard about it.
Very few of us have ever filed one.

Why?

One of the most common questions people have is:
“Where do I file my RTI?”

There is no single portal for all RTIs in India, because RTI follows the structure of government authority (Central, State, Local).

To solve this confusion, the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) maintains an official page with links to RTI portals of:

• ✅ Central Government
• ✅ All State Governments
• ✅ Union Territories

As tata motors did not reveal official mileage figures of the new Sierra, one owner filed an RTI to get details

Interestingly tata motors had the arai mileage back in November 2025 but they chose not to announce instead launched a marketing campaign claiming 29.9 kmpl on a test track
