Right To Information
The
Right to Information Act 2005
(RTI) is an Act of the Parliament of India
"to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens."
The Act applies to all States and Union Territories of India, except the State of Jammu and Kashmir – because Jammu & Kashmir, has its own Right to Information Act of 2009, the successor to the repealed J&K Right to Information Act, 2004 and its 2008 amendment. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen (except the citizens within J&K) may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days.
The Act also requires every public authority to computerize their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively 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 13 October 2005. Earlier Information disclosure in India was restricted by the Official Secrets Act 1923 and various other special laws, which the new RTI Act now relaxes.
Scope Of RTI
Private bodies are not within the Act's domain directly. However, information that can be accessed under any other law in force by a public authority can also be requested. In an innovative decision of 30-Nov-2006 the Central Information Commission also reaffirmed that privatized public utility companies continue to be within the RTI Act- their privatization notwithstanding.
Rights Include
The Act specifies that citizens have a right to:
Request any information (as defined).
Obtain copies of documents.
Inspect documents, works and records.
Take certified samples of materials of work.
