 +**RTI Wiki is India's independent citizen-first reference for the Right to Information Act, 2005.** We do **not** file RTIs on behalf of users — we equip every citizen to file their own. Our goal: make the RTI Act work for the 1.4 billion Indians who own it.
 +
 +===== What we publish =====
 +
 +  * **700+ articles** covering every angle of RTI: filing, escalation, sample formats, state rules, scheme guides
 +  * **300+ case-law entries** — Supreme Court Constitution Bench rulings, High Court orders, CIC + State IC decisions
 +  * **22 free tools** — AI RTI Drafter, AwaazRTI (voice), First Appeal Builder, PIO Reply Checker, Timeline Tracker, Citation Formatter, Fee Calculator, and more
 +  * **State coverage** — all 36 states + UTs, with 941 panchayat-level pages and 815 city-service pages

 +  * **Citizen Intelligence dashboards** — Citizen 360 (PIN code → civic snapshot), CPGRAMS Escalator, ECourts Tracker, MP/MLA Tracker, Vehicle RC Decoder, IFSC + Aadhaar + PAN + EPIC + GSTIN decoders
 +
 +===== Editorial principles =====
 +
 +  * **Citizen-first** — every guide written for the everyday citizen, not the lawyer
 +  * **Plain English** — no Latin except for statutory references
 +  * **Every claim cited** — Act, Rule, Court, Commission
 +  * **Real-life examples** — named protagonists, real districts, real recoveries
 +  * **Free + no login** — all tools work without signup
 +  * **No paywall** — content remains free in perpetuity
 +  * **Privacy** — your name, address, RTI text stay in your browser; only the AI prompt is sent to the AI for drafting
 +
 +===== How RTI Wiki is funded =====
 +
 +RTI Wiki is **reader-funded**. We do not run paid ads against scheme money. We do not sell user data. We do not register as an §80G entity — donations are not tax-deductible. Every rupee goes into research, content updates, server costs and the team. See [[:donate|how to support RTI Wiki]].

 +  * Every article shows a **Last reviewed on** date
