Step 1: Identify the Department and Information You Need
Figure out which department holds the information you’re seeking.
Examples:
- EPFO → For PF status or withdrawal
- State Board → For marksheets or answer sheets
- Municipality → For land ownership or road project details
- UPSC → For exam paper copies
If unsure, RTIwala helps with department mapping.
