Arunachal Pradesh RTI Online Portal Help: Department Not Listed, Payment, First Appeal and Offline Filing

Note: FileMyRTI is not a government website. This guide helps citizens use the official RTI portal correctly. If the portal does not support your department or filing route, FileMyRTI can help you file through the correct online or postal method.

Quick answer

You can file an RTI or First Appeal online for Government of Arunachal Pradesh public authorities through the Arunachal RTI portal at rti.arunachal.gov.in (use "Submit Request"). The fee is Rs. 10, paid online. Do not use this portal for Central Government offices or other States. If your Arunachal office is not available, file by post to the concerned PIO.

Go to rti.arunachal.gov.in > Fee: RTI application fee Rs. 10 (the statute also allows DD / Pay Order / IPO / cash offline); paid online via the portal - confirm the amount during filing. BPL applicants are exempt with a valid certificate.

Before you start, keep these ready

A mobile number and email
Your full postal address
The Arunachal department / public authority you want information from
Your RTI questions in plain text
A payment method as shown by the portal (or, offline, DD / Pay Order / IPO / cash)
A BPL certificate, if claiming the exemption

Good to know: The Arunachal portal has a citizen "Submit Request" / "Submit Appeal" flow (a separate login is for department officers). Use it only for Government of Arunachal Pradesh public authorities.

How filing works

Open rti.arunachal.gov.in and use "Submit Request".
Select the concerned Arunachal department / public authority.
Enter your applicant details and write your RTI in plain text.
Pay the Rs. 10 fee online (BPL applicants attach the certificate).
Submit and save the registration number - you need it to track and to file a First Appeal.

If your department is not listed (the most common problem)

Look for the parent Arunachal Pradesh department - the office may sit under a larger public authority.
If it is a Central Government office, use the Central RTI portal (rtionline.gov.in) - see our Central portal help.
If an Arunachal office is not available, file by post to the concerned PIO - see our guide to filing RTI offline.
Use Section 6(3) transfer only after a reasonable effort to find the right office. See Section 6(3) explained.

Common portal errors and how to fix them

Department / public authority not listed

Look for the parent Arunachal department. If it is a Central office, use rtionline.gov.in. If an Arunachal office is not available, file by post to its PIO.

Payment failed, or amount debited but not confirmed

Do not pay again immediately. Save the bank reference and check the status; retry only after confirming.

Portal rejects special characters in your RTI text

Remove bullets, emojis, smart/curly quotes and copied formatting. Paste via Notepad first, then use simple punctuation.

No registration number generated

Do not assume the RTI was filed. Check the status and your email; if nothing appears, retry or file by post and keep proof.

Filing a First Appeal

The Arunachal portal supports First Appeals online ("Submit Appeal") using your registration number. If your RTI was filed by post, file the appeal physically to the First Appellate Authority. For a Second Appeal or complaint, approach the Arunachal Pradesh State Information Commission.

When to use a State portal or file offline instead

The Arunachal office is not available on the portal, or online payment keeps failing.
The office is a Central Government body or another State - use the Central portal (rtionline.gov.in) or that State's route.
You want a Speed Post trail as documentary proof, or you already know the PIO address.

For the postal route, see how to file an RTI offline (by post), including how to attach the fee.
