Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Uttarakhand Right to Information Rules, 2013<\/strong> (based on the national RTI Act, 2005) empowers citizens to seek official information from <strong>state government departments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can file an RTI to ask about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83e\uddfe <strong>Status of caste\/income\/residence certificates<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\udfe0 <strong>Land records, mutation, or encroachment info<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83d\udcda <strong>Recruitment results, selection list, document

PIO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each <strong>government office<\/strong>, <strong>district collectorate<\/strong>, <strong>panchayat<\/strong>, or <strong>state body<\/strong> in Uttarakhand has a <strong>Public
