Established under the RTI Act to adjudicate appeals and complaints when public authorities deny or delay information. The Central Information Commission (CIC) handles central entities, while State Information Commissions oversee respective states. Led by a Chief Information Commissioner, they can summon records, impose penalties for non-compliance, and direct disclosure. Their decisions are binding unless challenged in courts. Critics point to staffing deficits and political appointments that erode independence. Nonetheless, strong commissions foster transparency, enabling citizens to track government functioning. By penalizing errant officials and clarifying RTI’s scope, these bodies anchor India’s right-to-know regime, essential for accountable democracy.
