Filing an RTI application is done by submitting it to the Public Information Officer (PIO) or Assistant Public Information Officer (APIO) of the concerned public authority. This can be done in person, by post, or through the online RTI portal (for applicable authorities). Filing the initial application directly with the Chief Information Commissioner (CIC) is not the prescribed method. The CIC is the head of the Central Information Commission, which is primarily an appellate body that hears appeals against decisions of the First Appellate Authority or complaints regarding non-compliance.

Initial RTI applications must be filed with the PIO or APIO of the relevant public authority, not directly with the Chief Information Commissioner.

Methods like online filing (through designated portals), sending by post, or submitting by hand to the PIO/APIO are valid ways to submit an RTI request.
