Question

What is 'Right to Information'?

Hint:

Remember RTI Act 2005, PIO, 30 days/48 hours, and Section 8 exemptions.

Answer 1

Public Information Officers must reply within 30 days (48 hours for life and liberty). Citizens may seek records, certified copies, samples and electronic data; certain matters are exempt (Section 8) such as national security or personal privacy. First and second appeals lie to departmental authority and Information Commissions, respectively (≈58 words).
