+===== Where to submit in Maharashtra =====
+  * **District-level**: PIO at the **District Collector's office** in your district.
+  * **Mumbai state-level**: PIO at the **department secretariat, Mantralaya, Mumbai 400032**.
+  * **Online**: maharashtra.rtionline.gov.in (limited departments).
+===== Fee schedule =====
+  * Application: **₹10** (BPL: zero)
+  * Photocopy: ₹2 per A4 page
+  * CD: ₹50 per CD
+  * First + Second Appeal: free
+===== Common mistakes filing in Marathi =====
+  * **No Form A**: Maharashtra requires the state-prescribed Form A for state authorities. Plain-paper applications can be returned (though Bombay HC has held PIOs cannot reject for missing form alone).
+  * **Wrong language for the office**: most state PIOs in Mumbai accept Marathi + Hindi + English. In rural districts, Marathi-only is often slower; bilingual is fastest.
+  * **No fee proof**: non-acceptance memo.
+===== Faster path =====
+Use our [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/awaaz-rti.html|AwaazRTI]] (free, voice in Marathi + 10 other Indian languages) or the [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|AI RTI Drafter]] which auto-fills the Maharashtra fee paragraph.
