The RTI Act specifies about "citizens".
Therefore, as Sarabjit mentioned, the PIO can ask for Citizenship.
"Proof of Identity" does not come into the picture at all.
That is why I ask again:
In a country like India, how does applicant conclusively prove that he/she is a
citizen of India ?
> In a country like India, how does anyone prove that he is a
Indian
Citizen ?
There's a bit of confusion between proof of identity and proof of
citizenship. So the PIOs sometimes ask for citizenship proof to be
given along with the RTI Application.
In some states like orissa, providing proof of identity is
mandatory. Without the same you cannot deposit the applicaton and
Rejection is automatic.
Some part of your message is invisible.
