This act is applies to all states and Union Territories of India except Jammu and Kashmir. According to this act, any Indian citizen can demand information about any policies from a public authority (Government body or state instruments) and the Government have to answer within 30 days. It has served very well especially finding out corruption scams in India. Corruption matters advocates describe this act as a most Profound public tool for transparent administration and anti-corruption tool. This act was passed in the parliament of India on 15 June 2005 and was implemented on 12 October 2005, on a day of Janmashtmi, a holy Indian festival. The first application was given in Pune under this act. It has enabled Indian citizens to know and understand different policies and planning. Since its implementation, many whistle-blowers have used this tool to expose state as well as central government scams and wrong business practices.

However, it was passed in 2013 after omitting some significant characteristics. Some truthful and honest whistle-blowers like Mr PrashantBhushan from AamAadmi Party and Mr. Subramanian Swami from BJP have used RTI in a very effective manner and exposed some biggest scams and sent offenders behind the prison bars. But, it is just an Ant in the forest. A main concern is that the whole forest is dirty and there is not a proper solution of it.
