	+
	+	{{:social:auto:form-karnataka-rti-form.png?direct&1200 \|Karnataka RTI Form — Kannada / English (2026) — RTI Wiki}}
	+
	+	<WRAP info>
	+	Karnataka has best online RTI infrastructure. File at kic.gov.in.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== What the form needs =====
	+	* Form A OR plain paper
	+	* Kannada or English (Hindi acceptable)
	+	* Photo not required
	+	* BPL exemption with card copy
	+
	+	===== Where to submit =====
	+	kic.gov.in (online) OR PIO office.
	+
	+	===== Fee =====
	+	Rs 10. Photocopy Rs 2/page.
	+
	+	===== Timeline =====
	+	30 days under §7(1).
	+
	+	===== Tips + common mistakes =====
	+	* Online filing easiest in India
	+	* Kannada preferred for state PAs
	+	* BPL: ration card photocopy
	+	* Status tracking online
	+
	+	===== If submitted form is rejected / delayed — file an RTI =====
	+
	+	Forms get "lost", "incomplete", "wrong section" — RTI brings out the actual file noting and officer name, which usually resolves the issue within 15 days.
	+
	+	Auto-fill the PIO + your case: [[:forms:rti-information-form-format\|Open the RTI Drafter →]]
	+
	+
	+	===== Sample completed form — what to include =====
	+
	+	When you submit any RTI-related form, ensure these fields are filled correctly:
	+
	+	* Applicant name — exactly as on Aadhaar / PAN / Voter ID
	+	* Postal address — for the PIO to send the reply by Speed Post
	+	* Phone + email — optional but recommended for clarification
	+	* Subject of request — one-line description (≤ 250 chars)
	+	* Specific records sought — itemised list, NOT free-form questions
	+	* Fee mode — IPO / court-fee / DD / online / BPL exemption
	+	* Date + signature — applicant's full signature with date
	+	* Severance + transfer clauses — quote §10(1), §10(2), §6(3) of RTI Act
	+
	+	===== Common rejection grounds at submission =====
	+
	+	* Wrong state form — many states mandate their own Form A. Check your state's RTI Rules.
	+	* Fee not enclosed — non-acceptance memo. ALWAYS include the IPO / receipt.
	+	* No applicant signature — return memo. Sign with date.
	+	* Multiple subjects in one application — split into separate applications. PIOs can return composite applications.
	+	* Vague language — re-frame as "certified copy of [specific document]", not "everything about my case".
	+
	+	===== Citizen action steps if your application is rejected =====
	+
	+	- Day 0 — file with proper IPO / fee + sign + date.
	+	- Day 30 — silence by PIO = deemed refusal under §7(2). File §19(1) First Appeal.
	+	- Day 60-90 — if FAA fails, escalate to State Information Commission under §19(3).
