Original cash receipt as proof of having
deposited Rs.10/- at any of major Railway
Stations/Divisional Railway HQ/Zonal Railway

3. To
avoid delay in getting information, the
items concerning to single directorate
should be asked for in one application only.
4. The applicant should ask for a specific
information giving details of order number
and file No. if known to the applicant and
send the back reference/copy. This is
easier and faster to locate the concerned
directorate.

a week of sending the application, please

011-23304572 (MTNL) or 43908 (Railways) to

Don’t
1. Please
do not address your RTI application other
than Chief Public Information Officer (CPIO),
Railway Board, as it takes more days/time to
reach the office of RTI Cell.
2. Please
do not address your Indian Postal Order,
Bank Draft, Banker cheque, for initial RTI
application or for Document Charges as the
case may be, other than “Pay and Accounts
Officer, Railway Board”. If the IPO/BD/BC
addressed other than PAO/RB, the same will
be returned to you with the request to send
a correct addressed IPO/BD/BC. The process
will lead to provide you information late.
3. Please
always avoid to get multiple information
from different directorates for different
subjects through a single application as
Railway Board is having about 45 Nodal
Officers dealing with different subjects. To
collect information for more than one
subject in single application may gets
delayed in providing information to you. The
more specific information asked the faster
it is to provide.
4. Some applicants ask for long list of information in a
single application, which on experience has
shown, is not maintained and difficult to
collect and results in rejection of
application being frivolous.
5. Information for representation/suggestions/advice are
not liable to be provided under RTI Act.
6. Please do not ask for any third party information
unless it has concern to the Public
interest.
7. Recently Central Information Commission (CIC) has
written to Ministry of Railways that our
staff/officers should not use the forum of
RTI Act as extension counter of redressal of
their staff/personal grievance.
8. No. of items for which information is sought for
should be restricted to few numbers as far
as possible to help us to provide you a
prompt reply.
