Babji Yana's answer at Quora on 9th March 2019
Four things are basic and important in filing RTI application - (1) Applicant shall be an Indian Citizen (2) Application shall seek specific information (3) Proof of payment/exemption of application fee and (4) Address of applicant for response.
Filing RTI application anonymously will not serve any purpose. In the absence of name and address information can't be sent.
Pseudonymously i.e. fictitious name with factual address may be alright because information delivered at the given address can be collected. Though not correct, some PIOs have requested the applicants to receive information in person.
Therefore, if the applicant is afraid of being targeted for filing an RTI application, local RTI Activists may be of some help. Also, there are certain online services like “RTI Anonymous” whose volunteers can fetch the needed information without revealing the identity of actual seeker.
