Online RTI Portal
UTTARAKHAND
Solution for Government Internal Functioning
Published By: NIC
The Uttarakhand Online RTI (Right to Information) Portal has been developed to provide citizens with quick, transparent, and convenient access to information under the RTI Act. Aligned with the Digital India campaign, this initiative empowers citizens to easily submit information requests to government departments. Applications filed through the portal are electronically transmitted to the Nodal Officer of the concerned Department/Public Authority, who forwards them to the designated Public Information Officer (PIO) for processing. If any additional fees are applicable (such as for copies or inspection of records), the PIO will inform the applicant through SMS as well as via the portal.
