RTI Application

I Posted an RTI with Invalid Mobile number , Will PIO take any action against me ?


Quick Summary
If you've submitted an RTI application with an incorrect mobile number or incomplete address, don't worry about facing any action from the PIO. The Public Information Officer (PIO) cannot initiate action against you for the information you've requested. However, an incomplete or incorrect address means the postal reply will likely not reach you. Ensure your contact details are accurate to receive the information you've sought through the RTI Act.

No.  The PIO sends a reply to your RTI application by post.

I Posted an Incomplete address , I thought that my email would be enough for reply

Why do you get scared of any action against an information sought under the provisions of Right to Information Act, 2005 ? No action can be initiated by SPIO / PIO for the information asked by you.

If you have mentioned incomplete address / mobile number in the application  the response shall never reach you. Why did you like that ?

Whether e-mail is correct ?

There is no purpose of asking information through RTI act if you have furnished incorrect or incomplete details/address of yours, instead you could have remained silent without wasting your time and energy on it.
