Who is Mr. Sapan Kumar Jana?

After years of service in the Indian armed forces, Mr. Jana came face to face with a problem that troubles countless veterans and their families — the long, confusing fight to receive a pension that is rightfully theirs. Rather than accept the delays, he learned to use the Right to Information Act as a tool, and over time personally filed an estimated 70 to 80 RTI applications on defence pension matters.

That hands-on journey gave him something rare: a working, insider’s understanding of how defence pension files actually move — which office holds what record, where requests get stuck, and exactly what to ask for to break the logjam.

Why he joined FileMyRTI

Mr. Jana approached FileMyRTI with a simple wish: to help defence pensioners and their families who are struggling to get their dues. He has made clear that he is not seeking any payment or commercial benefit — his only motivation is to put his experience to work for people who need it. We are honoured to have him as a volunteer adviser.
