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 Union Territory of Ladakh public authorities through the Ladakh RTI portal at rtionline.ladakh.gov.in. The fee is Rs. 10, paid online by internet banking. If your authority is not listed, file a hard-copy (postal) RTI. Do not use this portal for Central Government offices or other States.

Go to rtionline.ladakh.gov.in > Fee: RTI application fee Rs. 10, paid online via the portal payment gateway (internet banking) - confirm the amount during filing. BPL applicants are exempt with a valid certificate.

A mobile number and email
Your full postal address
The Ladakh department / public authority you want information from
Your RTI questions in plain text
An internet-banking facility to pay the fee online
A BPL certificate, if claiming the exemption

Good to know: The Ladakh portal lets you submit an RTI request and First Appeal online and pay by internet banking. It covers only listed UT of Ladakh public authorities - if yours is not listed, file a hard-copy RTI to the PIO.

How filing works

Open rtionline.ladakh.gov.in and start a new RTI request.
Select the concerned UT of Ladakh public authority (if not listed, file a hard-copy RTI instead).
Enter your applicant details and write your RTI in plain text.
Pay the Rs. 10 fee online by internet banking (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 UT of Ladakh department - the office may sit under a larger listed authority.
If your authority is not listed, file a hard-copy (postal) RTI to the PIO - see our guide to filing RTI offline.
If it is a Central Government office, use the Central RTI portal (rtionline.gov.in) - see our Central portal help.
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

The portal covers listed UT of Ladakh authorities only. If yours is not listed, file a hard-copy (postal) RTI to the PIO. If it is a Central office, use rtionline.gov.in.

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, file by post and keep proof.

Filing a First Appeal

The Ladakh portal supports First Appeals online 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, the matter goes to the Central Information Commission (CIC), as Ladakh does not have its own State Information Commission.

When to use a State portal or file offline instead

Your Ladakh authority is not listed on the portal (file a hard-copy RTI).
The portal or online payment is repeatedly failing.
The office is a Central Government body or another State - use the Central portal (rtionline.gov.in) or that 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.
