<h1>Penalties for Public Information Officers Under Section 20 of RTI Act: Fines for Non-Compliance and Possible Disciplinary Actions.</h1> Section 20 of the Right to Information Act, 2005, outlines penalties for Central or State Public Information Officers who fail to comply with the Act's requirements. If officers refuse to accept applications, delay, deny, or provide incorrect information without reasonable cause, they face a penalty of 250 rupees per day, up to a maximum of 25,000 rupees. Officers are entitled to a hearing before penalties are imposed, and they must prove their actions were reasonable. Persistent non-compliance can lead to recommendations for disciplinary action under applicable service rules.
