In the last two issues of BCAJ, I had briefly summarised chapters 1 & 2 of “PEOPLES’ MONITORIN G OF THE RTI REGIME IN INDIA 2011-13”. Same is being serialised. However, I am postponing it to the next issue to continue on the same. This issue covers report on online RTI facility.

Maharashtra’s launch of facility for filing RTI Application online.

Earlier Central Government had prescribed online facility www.centralrtionline.gov.in.

That of Maharashtra is www.rtionline.maharashtra. gov.in .

Facility has started from 01.01.2015.

http://www.rtionline.maharashtra.gov.in/request/ request.php?lan=E is the site that is in Marathi and English, has the facility for filing application and for first appeal. It also has an option to know the status of one’s application. The mode of payment (RTI application fees) is internet banking, ATM cum debit card and credit card (Master/Visa).

Thirty one of the 37 departments in Mantralaya are shown on the site. All the departments within Mantralaya would be covered first. The facility would be expanded to other public authorities later. Once an application is filed, the applicant will be given a registration number through SMS and email.
