RTI Guidance
Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about this guidance application and the Central Government RTI lifecycle.
What does this application do?Before filing
It helps you understand, formulate, check, and interpret a Central Government RTI journey. It does not replace RTI Online.
Can RTI resolve my complaint?Is RTI appropriate?
RTI seeks recorded information. A request for a service, action, or grievance resolution may need a different official channel.
Will the AI invent an authority?Choosing an authority
No. Recommendations are limited to the project’s curated authority dataset. If no match is confident, the app says so.
What makes a request clearer?Writing the request
Ask for identifiable records, dates, status, orders, or correspondence rather than opinions or fresh explanations.
Does this application file my RTI?Submission
No. Any demo submission is clearly labelled simulated. RTI Online remains the official transaction system.
Is the explanation the official status?Status
No. The official status is retained separately; AI text is an explanation only.
Does a missing answer prove a violation?Response
No. The analysis uses cautious language such as ‘appears unanswered’ and is not a legal conclusion.
Can this application submit an appeal?First Appeal
No. It helps you prepare and directs you to the applicable official process.
Can I pay here?Payment
No payment is collected here. Payment reconciliation belongs to the official RTI process.
Does this cover State Government RTI?General RTI Online questions
No. This project is limited to the Central Government RTI Online scope.
