What the government
knows, written down.

RTI Bharat is a public register of Right to Information applications filed in India — the questions asked, the departments that answered, and the paper trail in between.

Why This Exists
§ 3

Section 3 of the RTI Act says every citizen has the right to information. In practice, that right usually ends the day the reply letter arrives — filed away, read once, forgotten.

RTI Bharat exists to keep that reply on record. What one applicant asks, and what a government department is legally bound to answer, shouldn't require a second RTI just to find out it already happened.

Every entry in the register carries the original file number, the department, and a link to the full documentation exactly as it was received — no summarising, no editorialising.
