Details of Recruitment through RTI Act 2005

Of late, large number of youths are facing problem of accessing marks, answer sheets and details of recruitment etc from Govt. Depts/organizations/undertakings. I append below RTI application and guidelines for accessing all relevant information of recruitment through RTI Act 2005.

These guidelines and format are for recruitments by all departments, undertakings and organizations of Central Govt. [including Delhi Govt. and Union Territories]


In case of recruitment by State Govt. departments, state undertakings or organizations, you will have to follow RTI Rules of concerned State for format and fee payment. These details are available at www.rti.gov.in or http://www.rtiindia.org/guide/centrestate-rti-rules-and-fees-3/. You may retain “Particulars of information required” as stated in this RTI application format as stated at column No. 3, in application for State Govt. recruitment. In case of State Govt. please address application to “State Public Information Officer” instead of “Central Public Information Officer”[CPIO].

In case if any State Govt. has not prescribed format for RTI application, you may use annexed format meant for Central Govt. with changes as above. In this case also follow fee payment rules as stated in RTI rules of that State and accordingly amend column No. 4. If stamps are affixed as prescribed in State rules, amend column as “ I have affixed on top of this application relevant stamp for Rs. ___”

Details of payment of RTI application filing fee of few states are as under:

Tamil Nadu: Rs.10/- by non-judicial court fee stamp.

Short guidelines:

1. Locate exact CPIO and his address of concerned Govt. office by visiting website of relevant ministry/dept/undertaking etc [called Public Authority i.e. PA] or by visiting/contacting on phone local office of PA.

2. If you cannot get it as above, address application to CPIO of Head Office/ministry to whom the information may pertain. He will mail to correct CPIO within five days of receipt of your application.

3. Attach crossed postal order of Rs.10/-. It is available in post offices. Mention your name and address in it and leave other items blank

5. Retain photocopy of entire set including postal order etc.

7. Carefully retain postal proof of mailing, AD and official acknowledgement if any received.

8. If you do not receive reply within 40 days of mailing by you, file first appeal. You have 30 days time from the date when information should have reached you, for first appeal. For first appeal please refer RTI link of
