Plain-English summary. Use RTI Wiki freely. Cite us when you republish (CC-BY 4.0). Don't spam, don't scrape recklessly, don't pretend to be us. We provide the site as-is — it's educational, not legal advice. Disputes go to courts of New Delhi.

7A. Free downloads — informational only
RTI Wiki publishes free downloadable resources — checklists, evidence logs, document-readiness sheets, email format samples, and process planners. Use of these resources is subject to the following:
- Information only. All resources are for personal documentation and citizen awareness. They are not legal advice, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and do not guarantee any complaint outcome, refund, recovery, police action, compensation, or government approval.
- Account required. Downloads are gated behind a free RTI Wiki account so we can prevent abuse and show you your own download history.
- Newsletter is optional. The Citizen Alert Weekly opt-in checkbox at signup is unchecked by default. Newsletter use is disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
- No personal case data is collected. We do not ask for, and do not store, the details you write into a checklist.
- Personal use. You may print, fill in, and use these resources for personal/non-commercial purposes. Republication or commercial redistribution requires written permission at [email protected].
- Premium packs. Some bundled documentation packs are listed as “Coming soon”. When launched, they will continue to be informational and may be paid; nothing in those packs will constitute legal advice.
