No, it is not necessary to give reasons for seeking information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005. According to Section 6(2) of the RTI Act: "An applicant making a request for information shall not be required to give any reason for requesting the information..." This means: You only need to provide your name and contact details. The purpose or motive behind your request is irrelevant. Public Information Officers (PIOs) cannot ask you why you want the information. This provision ensures that citizens can seek transparency without fear of discrimination or harassment.
