Manipur RTI Help: No Online Portal Yet, How to File by Post
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.
Looking to file an RTI online in Manipur? Manipur does not have a State online RTI portal, so the reliable route is to file by post (or in person) to the concerned Public Information Officer, with the Rs. 10 fee attached. For Central Government offices, use rtionline.gov.in. Below: how to file by post, the fee, and the appeal route.
Before you start, keep these ready
- Your full name, postal address and contact details
- The Manipur department / office and its PIO address
- Your RTI questions, written in plain language
- The Rs. 10 fee (commonly an Indian Postal Order) - or a BPL certificate if exempt
- Speed Post / registered post to send it (and keep the receipt)
How filing works
- Identify the correct Manipur public authority and its PIO address (use FindMyPIO if unsure).
- Write your RTI application in plain language, addressed to the PIO.
- Attach the Rs. 10 fee (commonly an Indian Postal Order; BPL applicants attach the certificate).
- Keep a photo or photocopy of the full application and fee instrument.
- Send it by Speed Post / registered post and keep the receipt; the PIO must respond within 30 days.
If your department is not listed (the most common problem)
- Identify the parent Manipur department the office sits under.
- If it is a Central Government office, use the Central RTI portal (rtionline.gov.in) - see our Central portal help.
- File by post to the PIO - see our guide to filing RTI offline.
- Not sure which office or PIO? Use FindMyPIO, or let FileMyRTI identify it and file for you.
Common portal errors and how to fix them
Looking for a Manipur online RTI portal
There is no State online RTI portal for Manipur, and the Central portal does not cover Manipur State departments. File by post to the concerned PIO.
You do not know the PIO or office address
Use FindMyPIO, check the Manipur Information Commission SPIO lists, or let FileMyRTI identify the office for you.
Your matter is a Central Government office
File on the Central portal at rtionline.gov.in instead.
No reply within 30 days
File a First Appeal to the First Appellate Authority of the same office; if that fails, approach the Manipur Information Commission.
Filing a First Appeal
If the PIO does not reply within 30 days or the reply is unsatisfactory, file a First Appeal (by post) to the First Appellate Authority of the same office, with a copy of your RTI and the postal proof. For a Second Appeal or complaint, approach the Manipur Information Commission.
