RTI Filing Guide — Jammu & Kashmir

Jammu & Kashmir transitioned to the national RTI Act in 2019 after the abrogation of Article 370. The state has its own State Information Commission. Tourism, horticulture (apple trade), security-related governance, and land records are key RTI topics. The commission alternates between Srinagar (summer) and Jammu (winter) capitals.
