Mizoram 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 Mizoram public authorities through the Mizoram RTI portal at rti.mizoram.gov.in (register/log in first). The request text is limited to 3000 characters, and the fee is paid online. Do not use this portal for Central Government offices or other States. If your Mizoram office is not available, file by post to the concerned PIO.

Go to rti.mizoram.gov.in > Fee: The prescribed RTI fee (Rs. 10 under the RTI Rules) is paid online via the HDFC payment gateway (debit/credit Master/Visa) - confirm the amount on the portal. BPL applicants are exempt with a valid certificate.

CoversGovernment of Mizoram public authorities aligned to the Mizoram RTI portal (Mizoram State e-Governance Society). The portal allows online RTI applications and First Appeals; mobile apps are also available.

Before you start, keep these ready

A mobile number and email (to register/log in)
Your full postal address
The Mizoram department / public authority you want information from
Your RTI questions in plain text, within 3000 characters (attach a PDF if longer)
A payment method (Master/Visa card via the HDFC gateway)
A BPL certificate, if claiming the exemption

Good to know: Register / log in to file on the Mizoram portal; the request text is limited to 3000 characters (attach a PDF for anything longer). If you select the wrong authority, the Nodal Officer transfers it electronically to the correct one.

How filing works

Open rti.mizoram.gov.in and register / log in.
Start a new RTI request and select the concerned Mizoram public authority.
Write your RTI within the 3000-character limit; attach a PDF if longer.
Pay the prescribed fee online (BPL applicants attach the certificate).
Submit and save the registration number - you need it to track and to file a First Appeal (free).

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

Look for the parent Mizoram 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 a Mizoram 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 Mizoram department. If you pick the wrong one, the Nodal Officer transfers it electronically; if it is a Central office use rtionline.gov.in; if not available, file by post.

Your RTI is longer than 3000 characters

Keep the box short and attach the full application as a PDF.

Payment failed (HDFC gateway), or amount debited but not confirmed

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

Login / registration not working

Check your email/mobile, clear the cache or try another browser. If it keeps failing, file by post.

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 Mizoram portal supports First Appeals online ("Submit First Appeal") - there is no fee for a First Appeal. If your RTI was filed by post, file the appeal physically. For a Second Appeal or complaint, approach the Mizoram Information Commission.

When to use a State portal or file offline instead

The Mizoram office is not available on the portal, or login/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.

Postal RTI packet checklist

Your return address
