The Act was enacted in 2005 and came into force on 12 October 2005. The Act applies to all public authorities, including the Central Government, State Governments, Union Territories, local bodies, and public institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The Act provides for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The right of access to information under the control of public authorities<\/li>\n<li>The right to seek information in a format of choice<\/li>\n<li>The right to information to be provided within 30 days<\/li>\n<li>The right to appeal against the denial of information<\/li>\n<li>The right to compensation for the violation of the Act<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Act has been hailed as a landmark legislation that has ushered in a new era of transparency and accountability in governance. It has been instrumental in empowering citizens and making the government more responsive to their needs.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Act has also been criticized for its slow implementation and for the lack of awareness among citizens about their rights under the Act. The government has taken steps to address these issues, but more needs to be done to ensure that the Act is implemented in letter and spirit.<\/p>\n<p>The Act is not applicable in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. This is because the state has its own RTI Act, which was enacted in 2009. The Jammu and Kashmir RTI Act is similar to the Central RTI Act, but there are some key differences. For example, the Jammu and Kashmir RTI Act does not provide for the right to information to be provided within 30 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel
