RTI stands for Right to Information.Right to Information Act 2005 mandates timely response to citizen requests for government information. Right to Information empowers every citizen to seek any information from the Government, inspect any Government documents and seek certified photocopies thereof. Right to Information also empowers citizens to official inspect any Government work or to take the sample of material used in any work.
Right to Information is a part of fundamental rights under Article 19(1) of the Constitution. Article 19 (1) says that every citizen has freedom of speech and expression.
Even though RTI is a fundamental right, still we need RTI Act to give us this right. This is because if you went to any Government Department and told the officer there, “RTI is my fundamental right and that I am the master of this country. Therefore, please show me all your files”, he would not do that. In all probability, he would throw you out of his room. Therefore, we need a machinery or a process through which we can exercise this fundamental right. Right to Information Act 2005, which became effective on 13th October 2005, provides that machinery. Therefore, Right to Information Act does not give us any new right. It simply lays down the process on how to apply for information, where to apply, how much fees etc.
HOPEFULLY IT IS HELPFUL to YOU

RTI stands for right to Information. The Indian Constitution provides this right to each and every citizen of Indian Nationality. It is listed in fundamental rights and is considered the most important among them all. This right gives liberty to all the people to ask or enquire about any issue that concerns them. It not only allows people to ask about government policies, schemes etc, but also allows the person to know where his/her personal details are being used.
Hope this helps. All the best
