  • Right to Information is an act of the Parliament that sets out the rules and procedures regarding citizens' right to information.
  • Right to Information Act, 2005 replaced the former Freedom of Information Act, 2002.
  • Under the RTI Act, any citizen of India may request information from a public authority which is required to reply within thirty days.

  • Some major sections of the RTI Act, 2005
    • Section 8 (1) mentions exemptions against furnishing information under RTI Act.
    • Section 2j - Control of information under public authority
    • Section 4 - Suo moto disclosure of information by public authority

  • The authorities under the Right to Information Act 2005 are called public authorities.
  • The RTI Bill was passed by the Parliament on 15 June 2005 and the bill came into force with effect from 12 October 2005.
  • Right to Information has proven to be very useful but is counteracted by the Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2011.
