Andhra Pradesh Information Commissioner Rehana Begum has imposed a penalty of ₹20,000 on a Public Information Officer (PIO) for failing to provide information sought under the Right to Information (RTI) Act within the stipulated time.

RTI activist A. Chengal Rayulu of Tirupati rural mandal had filed an application in November 2022 seeking information under Section 4(1)(b) of the RTI Act relating to the Office of Printing, Stationery and Stores Purchases in Vijayawada. As the information was not furnished within 30 days, he approached the State Information Commission in December 2022.
