Maharashtra on Thursday launched an online portal for Right to Information (RTI) applications. The web portal (www.rtionline.maharashtra.gov.in.) can be used by citizens of the State to file online applications as well as first appeals under the RTI. The portal, available in both English and Marathi, informs applicants about the status/progress of their pleas.
The fee for the application can be paid via internet banking or debit/credit cards. On submission of an application, a unique registration number will be issued, via SMS and email, for the applicant’s future reference. At present, online filing of RTI application or first appeal is available only for the Mantralaya Departments and not field offices.
