I am a citizen of India. I am enclosing the application fee of Rs. 10 by Indian Postal Order (or as per the prescribed mode of the office). [If you hold a BPL card: I am below the poverty line and attach a copy of my BPL card; no fee is payable.] Kindly provide the above information within 30 days as required under the RTI Act, 2005.

Replace every ________ and [bracketed] field with your own details before sending. The Rs. 10 fee is for Central public authorities; some States charge a different amount — check the Fee Calculator.

How to use it

  • Give the exact Survey/Khasra number and village - vague requests get vague replies.
  • Asking for certified copies of the record of rights makes the reply usable as proof.
  • Most state revenue offices accept RTIs by post; pay the fee by IPO.
