TL;DR. Bookmark all 8. Each has a niche. RTI Wiki is the citizen-action layer. PRS India for legislative briefs. RTI India for community Q&A. ADR / MyNeta for politician affidavits. CIC website for SC/HC of RTI orders. rtionline.gov.in for actual filing. MoIB for govt RTI archives. DoPT for circulars.
