The right to information (RTI) is an act of the Parliament of India to establish the practical regime of the right to information for citizens and replaces the old Freedom of Information Act, 2002. According to the provisions of the Law, any citizen from India. You can request information from a "public authority" (a governing body or "State instrument") that must respond expeditiously or within thirty days. The Law also requires all public authorities to computerize their records for the wide dissemination and proactively certain categories of information so that citizens need a minimum resource to request information formally.

This law was approved by Parliament on June 15, 2005 and entered into force on October 12, 2005. More than 4800 RTI applications are submitted every day. In the first ten years of the beginning of the law, more than 17,500,000 applications have been filed. The disclosure of information in India is restricted by the Official Secrets Act of 1923 and several other special laws, in which the new RTI Law is relaxed. The right to information codifies a fundamental right of the citizens of India. RTI has proven to be very useful but is countered by the Whistle-blowers Law.
