Addition of OTP feature on RTI portal meant to protect user privacy: Centre

The recent introduction of a one-time password (OTP) feature for the RTI portal is meant to protect user privacy, the Centre said on Thursday.

The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has examined the concerns raised about the functioning of the Right to Information (RTI) portal — www.rtionline.gov.in — and clarified that the system is operational and effective after the introduction of a new OTP feature, an official statement said.
