The central government has taken a new step to make the RTI application process more secure and transparent. Now from June 16, 2025, the OTP system will be implemented under e-mail verification in all online applications of Right to Information (RTI). This decision has been taken to strengthen the cyber security of the RTI portal operated under the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

OTP will come on e-mail

Now when RTI applicants apply through www.rtionline.gov.in portal, they will have to verify with the OTP sent to their e-mail ID. Without this, the application process will not be considered complete. This process will improve data privacy and security.

The government statement states that with this new system, the personal information of the citizens will be more secure and any kind of cyber security lapse on the portal will be prevented. The RTI portal is used not only to file applications but also to know the status of petitions and file appeals.

The aim is to increase privacy and data security.

According to the information published on the website, "To enhance the privacy and data security of citizens, and strengthening the cyber security framework of the portal, OTP is being implemented under e-mail verification for all RTI requests from June 16, 2025."

It is worth noting that the RTI online portal provides the right citizens across the country to obtain information from government departments under transparency. Now with the new system, this process is considered to be more secure.
