New rules for NRI RTI applicants
New Delhi: In order to simplify the RTI application process from abroad, the CIC has framed new rules enabling NRIs to pay application fees and information costs at the Indian embassies and missions abroad. The commission will meet officials from the external affairs ministry and DoPT next week to smoothen issues related to the mode of payment and acceptance of appeals, CIC chief Wajahat Habibullah said.
Embassies may accept only the fee and information cost and provide e-receipts to applicants, he said.
