Jammu and Kashmir has its own act called Jammu &amp; Kashmir Right to Information Act, 2009. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a &#8220;public authority&#8221; (a body of Government or &#8220;instrumentality of State&#8221;) which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerize their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally. This law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 12 October 2005. Information disclosure in India was hitherto restricted by the Official Secrets Act 1923 and various other special laws, which the new RTI Act now relaxes. Recently, an upper word limit of 500 words has been fixed for the application to be made under RTI. Also a new format for filing an appeal to CVC has been drawn up.<\/p>\n<p>More information can be downloaded at &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rti.gov.in\/rtiact.htm\">http:\/\/rti.gov.in\/rtiact.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Further, the RTI website for each state is given in the map below<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<map name=\"entry\"><\/map>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rti.gov.in\/india_ob.jpg\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#entry\" width=\"517\" height=\"594\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"apply\">\n<h3>Apply for E-Governance Certification Now!!<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/Certified-E-Governance-Professional\">http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/Certified-E-Governance-Professional<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certify and Increase Opportunity.
