	+	===== Central Rules =====
	+
	+	* [[https://rti.gov.in\|Central RTI (Regulation of Fee and Cost) Rules, 2005]] — fee structure, mode of payment, inspection charges, copy charges. Rule 3 sets the Rs 10 application fee, Rule 4 the copy and inspection charges.
	+	* [[:rules:cic\|Central Information Commission (Management) Regulations, 2007]] — procedure for second appeals under [[:act#section-19appeal\|Section 19(3)]] and complaints under [[:act#section-18powers-and-functions-of-information-commissions\|Section 18]] before the CIC.
	+	* [[https://dopt.gov.in\|DoPT circulars and guidelines]] — procedural instructions to Central PIOs and First Appellate Authorities.
	+	* RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019 and the RTI Rules, 2019 — revised terms and conditions of service for Information Commissioners.
	+	* The 2005 first-appeal rules — Rule 5 of the Central Rules prescribes the appeal format under Section 19(1).
	+
	+	===== Supreme Court and High Courts =====
	+
	+	Competent authorities under [[:act#section-28power-to-make-rules-by-competent-authority\|Section 28]] frame their own rules.
	+
	+	* [[:rules:sc\|Supreme Court of India Rules]] under Section 28 — framed by the Chief Justice of India. Governs inspection of administrative-side records; judicial records follow separate Supreme Court Rules, 2013.
	+	* High Court rules (each High Court) — linked to from each High Court website. High Court rules typically mirror Central rules on fees but vary on appellate procedure.
	+
	+	===== State Rules =====
	+
	+	Each State Government has framed its own rules on fee structure, application format, and first-appeal procedure. The full index of State pages on this site follows. For fees and direct online-filing links, see [[:rti-fees-by-state\|RTI Fees by State (2026)]].

	+
	+	===== Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (DPDP) =====
	+
	+	The Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 were notified on 14 November 2025. These rules are not made under the RTI Act. However, Section 44(3) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, which became operational on notification of these rules, substituted the proviso to Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.
	+
	+	* What changed: The 2005 proviso carving out "information which cannot be denied to Parliament or a State Legislature" was removed. Privacy-based refusals under Section 8(1)(j) now follow a narrower path.
	+	* Practitioner notes:

	+
	+	===== RTI Amendment Act, 2019 =====
	+
	+	The RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Act No. 24 of 2019, commenced 24 October 2019) replaced Sections 13(1), 13(2), 13(5), 16(1), 16(2), 16(5), and parts of Section 27 of the RTI Act.
	+
	+	* Impact: Tenure and conditions of service of Central and State Information Commissioners moved from fixed to Central Government-prescribed.
	+	* Note on act.txt: The RTI Act page on this site carries inline amendment overlays at each affected section. See [[:act\|The RTI Act, 2005 (as amended)]].
	+
	+	===== Fees at a glance =====
	+
	+	\| Jurisdiction \| Fee \| Online portal (if any) \|
	+	\| Central (Ministries, PSUs) \| Rs 10 \| [[https://rtionline.gov.in\|rtionline.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| Most States and UTs \| Rs 10 \| See [[:rti-fees-by-state\|Fees by State table]] \|
	+	\| Haryana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu \| Rs 50 \| See [[:rti-fees-by-state\|Fees by State table]] \|
	+	\| Gujarat \| Rs 20 \| [[https://rti.gujarat.gov.in\|rti.gujarat.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| BPL applicants \| Nil (Section 7(5)) \| - \|
	+	\| Inspection, first hour \| Free \| - \|
	+	\| Inspection, subsequent hour \| Rs 5 per hour \| - \|
	+	\| A4/A3 certified copy \| Rs 2 per page \| - \|
	+	\| Diskette or CD \| Rs 50 \| - \|
	+
	+	===== Common questions =====
	+
	+	==== Is the Central fee the same as the State fee? ====
	+
	+	No. The Central fee is Rs 10 under Central Rules. States have their own rules under Section 27; most charge Rs 10, a few charge Rs 50 or Rs 20 (see the fees page above). A State can never waive the Section 7(5) BPL exemption.
	+
	+	==== Can a State charge more than Rs 10 for a photocopy? ====
	+
	+	Most States follow Rs 2 per A4 page. A higher charge needs a State notification. If a department demands an unjustified higher rate, refuse and include the refusal as a ground in your first appeal.
	+
	+	==== Can Supreme Court or High Court rules override Central Rules on judicial-side records? ====
	+
	+	Yes, for judicial-side records. Administrative-side records of these institutions follow Central-aligned procedures. See the separate rules linked above.

	+	===== Central Rules =====
	+
	+	* [[https://rti.gov.in\|Central RTI (Regulation of Fee and Cost) Rules, 2005]] — fee structure, mode of payment, inspection charges, copy charges. Rule 3 sets the Rs 10 application fee, Rule 4 the copy and inspection charges.
	+	* [[:rules:cic\|Central Information Commission (Management) Regulations, 2007]] — procedure for second appeals under [[:act#section-19appeal\|Section 19(3)]] and complaints under [[:act#section-18powers-and-functions-of-information-commissions\|Section 18]] before the CIC.
	+	* [[https://dopt.gov.in\|DoPT circulars and guidelines]] — procedural instructions to Central PIOs and First Appellate Authorities.
	+	* RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019 and the RTI Rules, 2019 — revised terms and conditions of service for Information Commissioners.
	+	* The 2005 first-appeal rules — Rule 5 of the Central Rules prescribes the appeal format under Section 19(1).
	+
	+	===== Supreme Court and High Courts =====
	+
	+	Competent authorities under [[:act#section-28power-to-make-rules-by-competent-authority\|Section 28]] frame their own rules.
	+
	+	* [[:rules:sc\|Supreme Court of India Rules]] under Section 28 — framed by the Chief Justice of India. Governs inspection of administrative-side records; judicial records follow separate Supreme Court Rules, 2013.
	+	* High Court rules (each High Court) — linked to from each High Court website. High Court rules typically mirror Central rules on fees but vary on appellate procedure.
	+
	+	===== State Rules =====
	+
	+	Each State Government has framed its own rules on fee structure, application format, and first-appeal procedure. The full index of State pages on this site follows. For fees and direct online-filing links, see [[:rti-fees-by-state\|RTI Fees by State (2026)]].

	+
	+	===== Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (DPDP) =====
	+
	+	The Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 were notified on 14 November 2025. These rules are not made under the RTI Act. However, Section 44(3) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, which became operational on notification of these rules, substituted the proviso to Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act.
	+
	+	* What changed: The 2005 proviso carving out "information which cannot be denied to Parliament or a State Legislature" was removed. Privacy-based refusals under Section 8(1)(j) now follow a narrower path.
	+	* Practitioner notes:

	+
	+	===== RTI Amendment Act, 2019 =====
	+
	+	The RTI (Amendment) Act, 2019 (Act No. 24 of 2019, commenced 24 October 2019) replaced Sections 13(1), 13(2), 13(5), 16(1), 16(2), 16(5), and parts of Section 27 of the RTI Act.
	+
	+	* Impact: Tenure and conditions of service of Central and State Information Commissioners moved from fixed to Central Government-prescribed.
	+	* Note on act.txt: The RTI Act page on this site carries inline amendment overlays at each affected section. See [[:act\|The RTI Act, 2005 (as amended)]].

	+	\| Haryana, Punjab, Tamil Nadu \| Rs 50 \| See [[:rti-fees-by-state\|Fees by State table]] \|
	+	\| Gujarat \| Rs 20 \| [[https://rti.gujarat.gov.in\|rti.gujarat.gov.in]] \|
	+	\| BPL applicants \| Nil (Section 7(5)) \| - \|

	+	\| Inspection, subsequent hour \| Rs 5 per hour \| - \|
	+	\| A4/A3 certified copy \| Rs 2 per page \| - \|
	+	\| Diskette or CD \| Rs 50 \| - \|
	+
	+	===== Common questions =====
	+
	+	==== Is the Central fee the same as the State fee? ====
	+
	+	No. The Central fee is Rs 10 under Central Rules. States have their own rules under Section 27; most charge Rs 10, a few charge Rs 50 or Rs 20 (see the fees page above). A State can never waive the Section 7(5) BPL exemption.
	+
	+	==== Can a State charge more than Rs 10 for a photocopy? ====
	+
	+	Most States follow Rs 2 per A4 page. A higher charge needs a State notification. If a department demands an unjustified higher rate, refuse and include the refusal as a ground in your first appeal.
	+
	+	==== Can Supreme Court or High Court rules override Central Rules on judicial-side records? ====
	+
	+	Yes, for judicial-side records. Administrative-side records of these institutions follow Central-aligned procedures. See the separate rules linked above.
