Right to Information Act 2005 is a powerful tool in the hands of right people toward right causes. Many path-breaking changes in the public administration were brought about due to the fruitful use of the RTI Act. Union Government has setup an online portal for the benefit of public to be able to file RTI applications (for fee) and First Appeals (for free) to various Central Government Ministries, Departments, Agencies and other instrumentalities. Many States have already setup their own State-level Online portals to receive RTI applications. Now State of AP also has an Online portal to file/receive RTI applications and Appeals.

Efforts at AP State level
Two petitions are filed in 2023 (WP(PIL) NO: 191 of 2023) and 2024 (W.P(PIL).No.110 of 2024) seeking Online portal to file RTI applications. They are connected and the below is the recent order in these two connected cases.
Today on 20-Feb-2026, came to know that the GOAP has issued a G.O. announcing the activation of a RTI portal for the State of AP. Great news! The G.O.Ms.No. 2026GAD_40543_MS25_E is given below.
Today on 05-Jun-2026, I noticed that the Online RTI Portal is up and running
here. Registered myself and it went through fine. Thanks to Adv VVSS Srikanth G for his sustained efforts since 3 years. Now the time to shoot RTI applications online. Happy.
My Efforts at AP State level
Before knowing about above efforts, I had sent representations to concerned government officials along with State Information Commission in 2021. (List of other State Information Commissions in India here) Since this issue is addressed, this post can be closed.
All my Legal Goals are listed here.
