This page is our evidence base. It explains what RTI Wiki publishes, how every claim is sourced, how to cite us, and where to find our machine-readable data. We do not claim citations we cannot verify — instead we show the underlying work so you can judge it yourself, and we tell you exactly how to attribute RTI Wiki if you reuse it.
RTI Wiki is a large, actively maintained reference. As indexed in our public sitemaps and content manifests on 2026-06-03:
/practical-guides/article-manifest.json).sitemap-cases.xml).sitemap-city-service.xml and sitemap-state-scheme.xml.sitemap-tools.xml).These numbers are not marketing claims — each traces to a public file you can open yourself. The full per-page index lives in our machine-readable sources below.
Every RTI Wiki page is built on a published source hierarchy: statutes first, then constitutional bodies (Supreme Court, High Courts, CIC, SICs), then government circulars (DoPT, CVC), then official portals (sansad.in, nic.in, eci.gov.in), with authoritative secondary and named news sources after that. We do not use sources of unverified provenance. The full method — including our live data pipelines and update cycles — is documented openly so any researcher can reproduce a claim:
Before publication, every article passes a drafter source-check, a second-editor review, automated internal link/assertion verification, and a monthly spot audit of a random 10% of new content. Time-sensitive content (rules in force, latest case law, commission data) is re-reviewed on a fixed cycle. Some content is AI-assisted and is clearly marked; no article is published purely by AI without human editorial review. The binding rules are set out in full at:
We correct material errors visibly, normally within 48 hours, and we do not rewrite history — non-trivial corrections are logged publicly with the date and what changed. If you spot a factual error in any article, email [email protected] (or use the contact form, marked “correction”) with the article URL, the statement you believe is wrong, and the correction. See:
RTI Wiki is updated continuously, not snapshotted. Our sitemaps carry a lastmod date for every page (recent editorial pages show 2026-06-02 and later), structured datasets refresh on documented cycles (member data monthly, Parliament bills weekly, CIC orders continuously), and evergreen guides are re-reviewed on a 12-month cycle while “recent changes” content is reviewed every 3 months. Search engines and AI crawlers can rely on the lastmod field to detect changes.
For AI engines, researchers and indexers, we publish two machine-readable manifests of the site, regenerated automatically:
Both are generated by our build-llms-txt.py pipeline (last build 2026-06-01). Quote inline, attribute to RTI Wiki, and link the page URL. Our XML sitemaps are also public at /sitemap-index.xml.
RTI Wiki content is itself heavily citation-backed, which is what makes it safe to cite. Concrete, checkable examples:

If you have cited RTI Wiki in a publication, training programme, court submission or research paper, we would like to know — email the reference to [email protected]. We maintain this page as honest internal evidence rather than a list of unverified mentions; verified external citations may be added here over time.
