Quick answer

Yes - you can file an RTI relating to the Sub Registrar Office, Red Hills. It functions under the Tamil Nadu Registration Department, so address the RTI to the PIO of the concerned registration office. Use RTI when a document is stuck, an encumbrance certificate shows a discrepancy you need explained, or you need reasons for a delay - for routine EC and certified copies, first try the official TNREGINET service route.

Good to know: For encumbrance certificates and certified copies, try the official TNREGINET portal first - RTI is the right tool when the service route fails or you need reasons, file movement or officer details.

Who to address it to (identifying the PIO)

Sub Registrar Offices in Tamil Nadu come under the Registration Department. Address the RTI to the PIO of the Sub Registrar Office / District Registrar concerned. Use FindMyPIO or let FileMyRTI identify the correct PIO.

How to file: online or by post

Tamil Nadu has an official online RTI portal (rtionline.tn.gov.in - fee Rs. 10, Internet Banking / ATM-cum-Debit card; online filing covers Secretariat departments and offices where implemented). Registration-department field offices may need the postal route. See our Tamil Nadu portal help.

For the postal route - including how to attach the fee - see how to file an RTI offline (by post). Always keep the Speed Post / registered post receipt as proof.

If this office is not listed on the portal

Look for the parent department the office sits under; if it is genuinely not available online, file by post to the PIO. Use Section 6(3) transfer only after a reasonable effort to identify the correct authority - see Section 6(3) explained.

If there is no reply in 30 days

The PIO is ordinarily required to respond within 30 days under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act. If there is no proper response, file a First Appeal with the First Appellate Authority of the same public authority; if that fails, a Second Appeal lies with the State Information Commission. FileMyRTI helps with the First Appeal route - see the Appeal Generator.
