RTI Act 2005 — Compliance Assistance
Right to Information
The Right to Information Act, 2005 places clear obligations on every public authority — to publish proactive disclosures and to keep them current. IISTD provides hands-on assistance to public authorities in meeting these obligations, from preparing Section 4 suo-motu disclosures to filing the annual self-appraisal on the Central Information Commission (CIC) portal.
