Yes, an RTI application can be filed through post in India. Key points: The RTI Act, 2005 allows applications to be submitted in writing or through electronic means (email, online portals, etc.). Postal submission is a common and accepted method, especially where online facilities are not available. The applicant should send the RTI application by registered post or speed post to the Public Information Officer (PIO) of the concerned public authority. It is advisable to keep proof of dispatch and a copy of the application for future reference. The RTI application must include the applicant’s name, contact details, and payment of the prescribed fee (if applicable). Summary: RTI applications can be sent by post, and it is a valid and widely used mode of filing an RTI request under Indian law.
