How do I write an RTI application or a consumer complaint in the correct format?
Open AnyTool Complaint / RTI Packet Builder and pick the document — an RTI application under the RTI Act, 2005, a consumer complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, or a grievance letter. Enter your details (name, S/o/D/o/W/o, address, contact), the recipient (for an RTI this defaults to “The Public Information Officer” and the public authority), a subject, and the content point-wise — one numbered point per record or period for an RTI, the chronology of facts for a complaint. For an RTI you set the time-frame, whether you want certified copies or inspection, and the ₹10 fee block (waived with a BPL certificate), and the tool adds the Indian-citizenship declaration and the 30-day / First-Appellate-Authority note. For a consumer complaint you state the deficiency, choose the relief (refund, replacement, repair or compensation) and the value paid, and the tool names the consumer-commission tier by claim value with a reply-by deadline. A live preview shows the formatted application/letter, and you can copy it or export a clean A4 PDF, .txt or Markdown — all in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

What is
RTI application
An RTI application is a written request for information from a public authority under Section 6(1) of India’s Right to Information Act, 2005. It is addressed to the Public Information Officer (PIO) of the relevant public authority and contains the applicant’s name and full address, a subject referencing the RTI Act, and the information sought set out point-wise — each point a specific, identifiable record for a specific period. A prescribed fee of ₹10 is paid (typically by Indian Postal Order, demand draft or court-fee stamp), and applicants below the poverty line are exempt on producing a BPL certificate. The public authority must ordinarily reply within 30 days; if it does not, or the reply is unsatisfactory, the applicant can file a first appeal before the First Appellate Authority within 30 days. A consumer complaint and a grievance letter follow a similar formal structure but state facts, a deficiency and the relief sought instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Address it to the Public Information Officer of the public authority, give your name and address, a subject under the RTI Act 2005, the information sought point-wise, and a ₹10 fee — waived for BPL applicants with a certificate.
An RTI application is addressed to “The Public Information Officer” of the relevant public authority and includes your full name and address, a subject referencing Section 6(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, and the information sought set out point-wise — each point a specific record for a specific period. The standard application fee is ₹10, usually paid by Indian Postal Order, demand draft or court-fee stamp in favour of the Accounts Officer of the public authority; applicants below the poverty line pay no fee but must attach a BPL certificate. You declare that you are a citizen of India. The reply is normally due within 30 days. The exact PIO, the fee amount and the payment mode vary by state and department, so verify the current procedure before filing. AnyTool Complaint / RTI Packet Builder assembles exactly this structure from your inputs.
By the value paid as consideration: the District Commission up to ₹50 lakh, the State Commission above ₹50 lakh up to ₹2 crore, and the National Commission above ₹2 crore.
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the 2021 jurisdiction rules, the consumer commission is chosen by the value of the goods or services paid as consideration (not the compensation claimed): the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission hears matters where that value is up to ₹50 lakh, the State Commission where it is above ₹50 lakh up to ₹2 crore, and the National Commission where it is above ₹2 crore. AnyTool Complaint / RTI Packet Builder suggests the tier from the value you enter and writes a notice-style complaint stating the facts, the deficiency and the relief you seek, but the correct forum, jurisdiction and procedure can change, so confirm the current rules for your case before filing.
You can file a first appeal before the First Appellate Authority — an officer senior to the PIO — within 30 days, and there is no fee for the first appeal.
If the public authority does not supply the information within the prescribed 30 days, or you are not satisfied with the reply, you may file a first appeal under Section 19(1) before the First Appellate Authority, who is an officer senior in rank to the Public Information Officer. The appeal should be filed within 30 days of the expiry of the time limit or of receiving the PIO’s decision, and no fee is required for a first appeal. AnyTool Complaint / RTI Packet Builder notes the 30-day timeline and the First Appellate Authority in your application, but timelines and authorities can vary, so check the current position for your public authority.
No. The document is composed and assembled entirely in your browser — your details, the facts of your case and even the PDF are produced locally and never uploaded.
AnyTool Complaint / RTI Packet Builder runs completely client-side. Your name and address, your guardian and contact details, the public authority or company, the facts of your grievance, the amounts and reference numbers, and every word you type are processed in your browser only — nothing is sent to a server, logged or stored. The live preview, the plain-text and Markdown downloads, and the A4 PDF (built with pdf-lib) are all generated locally with no upload. Because a complaint or grievance carries sensitive personal and dispute information, this matters: the page works offline once cached, and closing the tab discards your draft.
Detailed Explanation
⚙️Methodology
Three Formal Documents, the Correct Indian Structure
AnyTool Complaint / RTI Packet Builder produces three of the formal documents Indians most often have to draft by hand, each in the structure its law and convention expect, composed from the user’s inputs rather than placeholder text. A Right to Information (RTI) application under the RTI Act, 2005 is addressed to “The Public Information Officer” of the named public authority, carries a subject referencing Section 6(1) of the Act, sets out the information sought POINT-WISE (one numbered point per identifiable record and period), states the time-frame, says whether certified copies or an inspection of records is wanted, includes the ₹10 application-fee block (or, for a Below-Poverty-Line applicant, a reference to the BPL certificate in lieu of the fee), and ends with a declaration of Indian citizenship plus a note that the reply is due within 30 days with a first appeal to the First Appellate Authority. A consumer complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 states the facts/chronology point-wise, identifies the deficiency in service or defect in goods, names the RELIEF sought (refund, replacement, free repair, compensation or completion of the service), the value paid as consideration, and the documents relied upon, and reads as a notice. A grievance letter addresses the authority with a subject, point-wise particulars and a reply-by deadline. A custom mode gives a plain formal letter. Every document is laid out with a “To,” recipient block, a subject line, numbered points, the declaration/relief, the signature and a place/date line.
RTI application: PIO + public authority, Section 6(1) subject, point-wise information, period, certified-copies/inspection choice, ₹10 fee (BPL waiver), citizenship declaration
Consumer complaint: facts/chronology, deficiency/defect, relief sought, value paid, documents relied upon — drafted as a notice
Repeatable numbered points; standard “To,” block, subject, declaration and place/date line

📋Use Cases
Fee, Declaration, Relief and the Consumer-Commission Tier
For an RTI the tool models the practical details a valid application needs: the prescribed ₹10 fee (typically an Indian Postal Order, demand draft or court-fee stamp in favour of the Accounts Officer of the public authority), the BPL exemption (no fee on producing a BPL certificate), the choice of certified copies versus inspection of records, the period of the information, and the declaration that the applicant is a citizen of India — together with the 30-day reply timeline and the right of first appeal before the First Appellate Authority within a further 30 days, with no fee for that first appeal. For a consumer complaint the tool turns the chosen relief into the right clause — a full refund, replacement of the defective goods, free repair, compensation for the deficiency and harassment, or completion of the service — and, from the value paid as consideration, suggests the consumer-commission tier under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and its 2021 jurisdiction rules: the District Commission for value up to ₹50 lakh, the State Commission above ₹50 lakh up to ₹2 crore, and the National Commission above ₹2 crore (jurisdiction follows the price paid, not the compensation claimed). A reply-by deadline of 7, 15, 21 or 30 days is written into a complaint or grievance. The tool is deliberately honest: it formats a draft from the user’s inputs and is NOT legal advice, and the correct PIO/public authority, the exact fee and payment mode, the First Appellate Authority, and the correct consumer forum and procedure vary by state, department and law and change over time, so the user must verify the current procedure and the right authority/forum before filing.
RTI fee ₹10 (IPO/DD/court-fee stamp); BPL applicants exempt with a certificate; reply within 30 days; first appeal to the First Appellate Authority within 30 days, no fee
Certified copies vs inspection of records; period/time-frame; citizenship declaration
Consumer relief: refund, replacement, repair, compensation or completing the service
Consumer-commission tier by value paid: District ≤ ₹50 lakh, State ₹50 lakh–₹2 crore, National > ₹2 crore (price paid, not compensation)
Honest: a formatted draft, not legal advice; authority, fee and forum vary by state/department and change — verify before filing

A Reusable Letter Engine, Privacy and Export
The page sits on AnyTool’s shared, framework-free letter engine, which owns one generic letter model — sender, date, recipient, optional subject, body paragraphs, closing, signature and enclosures — and renders it to plain text, Markdown, inert HTML and a clean PDF via pdf-lib. The builder maps each document onto that model in the Indian convention: the recipient block leads with “To,” the Public Information Officer / authority, the body paragraphs carry the numbered points and the fee/declaration or relief clauses, and the applicant’s address and contact, with the place/date line, sit under the signature; the PDF is rendered on A4 paper (210 × 297 mm) with selectable text. Because the document is composed and assembled in the browser, the applicant’s and recipient’s details, the facts of the case, the amounts and reference numbers and every word typed are never uploaded, logged or stored, and the page works offline once cached — even the PDF is built locally with no server and no CDN. A live preview renders the formatted application/letter to read-only HTML with the marked library alongside a raw Markdown view, and the document can be copied or downloaded as a selectable-text A4 PDF, .txt or .md, or printed. The same engine powers AnyTool’s cover, resignation, recommendation, formal and complaint letter generators, so formatting stays consistent across the whole letter family while this tool adds the RTI/consumer/grievance structure.
