File RTI for Public or Private Company- Fast & Secure

Under the RTI Act 2005, the ability to obtain information from a company depends on whether it is classified as a "public authority.Private companies can often block information by citing Section 8(1)(d), which protects commercial confidence, trade secrets, or intellectual property if disclosure would harm their competitive position
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act (notified Nov 2025), Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act was amended to strictly exempt "personal information" from disclosure, even if there is a larger public interest, unless it relates to a public activity.
Purely private companies are not directly subject to the RTI Act. You cannot file an RTI request directly to a private company’s office. However, there are two legal "backdoors" to get information

• mobile service providers to TRAI, trusts are reporting to Charity Commissioner of the area,
• private banks to RBI, insurance companies to IRDA,
• public limited companies to SEBI and Registrar of Companies
• Coop Societies/banks report to District Registrar ofCooperative Societies.

File application by referring to RTI Rules for format and fees applicable to central govt. [for central govt. dept/regulator like RBI, TRAI, SEBI,IRDA, ROC etc] or concerned state govt. [if department pertains to a state govt],Via Section 2(f): If a government body (like a regulator) has the legal right to access certain information from a private company, you can file an RTI with that government body to get that information
