Resources on Right to Information Act, 2005 -- Tamil Nadu Rules and Procedure

On this page we present the legal documentation on RTI, including the original and amended rules. These files may be in pdf format for easy download and printing.

As of March 2007, the State Information Commission in Tamil Nadu headed by Mr. S.Ramakrishnan does not have an independent website.

It is our experience that the rudimentary information pages put up by the National Informatics Commission (NIC) do not contain easy navigation to the resources. Hence we present some of the links here. We hope the SIC will make things easier for the citizens by putting up documents and information on its proposed website in an accessible manner, and that too without delay.

The files here also contain links inside to key documents relating to RTI Act in Tamil Nadu.

Here are the useful links to resources:
