Haryana applies the Haryana Right to Information Rules, 2009 (made under §27 of the RTI Act, 2005) for all state public authorities. The fee is ₹50 per application (BPL: zero) - higher than the central ₹10. Reply deadline: 30 days under §7(1) of the central RTI Act. Online filing is via the haryanarti.in portal (live since 2020, all major departments covered). Postal Speed Post (AD) remains the universal fallback.

The Haryana SIC has historically been one of the better-disposing SICs - around 6-8 month average disposal of second appeals. As of December 2024, three of seven IC seats were vacant; appointments resumed in February 2025 following the Anjali Bhardwaj monitoring petition. If your second appeal has been pending 12+ months, you can approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court under Article 226.
