Vide reference cited all Public Authorities in the
State were requested to ensure that the information under section 5(1) &
5(2) of RTI Act, 2005 is duly displayed in prominent places and the details under
4(1) (b) are uploaded to the website of A.P.Information Commission (APIC) and
A.P.Portal, by issuing suitable instructions to all concerned under their
control.
2. As per the above instructions all the Public Authorities in
the State should publish the particulars of 17 items indicated under Section 4
(1) (b) and along with the particulars under Section 5(1)(2) i.e., the details
of APIO, PIO and 1st Appellate Authority should be uploaded into the website of
A.P.Information Commission and A.P.Portal so that access to such records is
facilitated all over the Country. These particulars are also to be updated
regularly. APIC has also Communicated the user ID and password to DROs in the
office of all District Collectors which are unique in respect of each district
so as to enable the public authorities to register themselves in the website of
APIC. However, as seen from the website of APIC several Public Authorities in
the State have not registered their particulars in the website and those who
have registered also are not updating the particulars regularly.
3. Further, it is informed that action is being taken by the Government
to provide the facility of online filing of RTI applications to the applicants
in the State. For this purpose, the particulars relating to the APIOs, PIOs
& 1st Appellate Authorities of all Public Authorities should be
available online and the digital Directory of all Public Authorities is one of
the pre-requisites for implementing the facility, to locate concerned PIO and
to file application with him.
4. In view of the above, all departments of Secretariat, all
HODs and District Collectors are requested to immediately ensure that all Public
Authorities under their control down to the last level get registered in the
Annual Reporting system of APIC with particulars of APIO, PIO & 1st
Appellate Authority and to update them at regular intervals.
