Short guidelines for applying:
1. Decide exact information you
desire to have with period etc. This is important part of application. Do not
ask questions but seek information. Restrict application to 500 words
[excluding both addresses]. If you cannot confine to 500 words, please file
second RTI application for remaining queries and mail in the same envelope.
2. Locate exact CPIO/ACPIO and
his address of concerned Govt. office by visiting website of relevant
ministry/dept/undertaking etc [called Public Authority i.e. PA] or by

4. Make crossed IPO of Rs.10/- in
favour of Accounts Officer of the office to whom you are applying. Make it

applying to Ministry of HRD, New Delhi make IPO payable to “Accounts Officer, Ministry
of HRD” payable at New Delhi. If you are under BPL, you need not pay Rs.10/-.
Just enclose self-attested photocopy of BPL certificate.
5. Attach self-attested
