+====== Delhi RTI rules - 2026 citizen guide ======
+**Delhi government departments apply the Delhi Right to Information Rules, 2005 (with subsequent amendments) for all GNCTD public authorities.** Central authorities in Delhi (e.g., MEA, MoD, Ministry of Finance) follow the central RTI Rules. Fee for state RTIs is ₹10 per application (BPL: zero). Reply deadline: 30 days under §7(1) of the central RTI Act.

+===== Statutory framework =====
+  * **Central**: Right to Information Act, 2005.
+  * **Delhi state-specific**: **Delhi RTI Rules, 2005** (notified by GNCTD), made under §27.
+  * **Online**: **rtionline.delhi.gov.in** for state authorities, **rtionline.gov.in** for central.
+  * **Delhi SIC portal**: [[https://cic.delhi.gov.in|cic.delhi.gov.in]].
+===== Where to file =====
+  * **State (GNCTD) departments**: PIO at the **department secretariat, Delhi Secretariat, IP Estate, New Delhi 110002**.
+  * **Central departments**: PIO at the **respective ministry**, North Block / South Block / Shastri Bhavan, New Delhi.
+  * **First Appeal**: Appellate Authority at the same office (one rung above PIO).
+  * **Second Appeal (state)**: **Delhi State Information Commission**, IDA Building, ITO, Vikas Marg, New Delhi 110002. [[https://cic.delhi.gov.in|cic.delhi.gov.in]].
+  * **Second Appeal (central)**: **Central Information Commission**, August Kranti Bhavan, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi 110066. [[https://cic.gov.in|cic.gov.in]].

+===== Common mistakes filing in Delhi =====
+  * **Mixing state + central authorities in one RTI** - file separately. State authorities = GNCTD departments (Health, Education, Revenue, DM offices). Central = Union ministries.
+  * **Wrong commission for Second Appeal** - state matters go to Delhi SIC, central matters to CIC. Easy mistake.
+  * **AI / DPDP-era central authorities (e.g., Data Protection Board)** - use central rtionline.gov.in.
+  * **Resident Commissioner / NDMC** - separate authorities; file directly to their PIOs.
+===== Delhi SIC + CIC - state of pendency =====
+The **Delhi SIC** has had vacancy and pendency issues monitored under **Anjali Bhardwaj v. UoI (2019)**. As of 2025, average second-appeal disposal time was around **10-16 months**. The **CIC** (for central authorities) has typically been faster - **6-9 months** for second appeals. Both commissions publish monthly disposal stats since 2019.
