The RTI is applicalbe to all government personal. The central idea is to provide one window system to citizen. So that the citizen dont have to run to differnt coutners for obtaining information.
The CPIO will inturn with the assistence of other officer will provide information. Inorder to empower CPIO Section 5 subsection 5 of RTI, 2005 make all those person from whom CPIO seeks help equally responsible as CIPO.

Section 5 subsection (5) reads as

Any officer, whose assistance has been sought under sub-section (4), shall render all assistance to the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, seeking his or her assistance and for the purposes of any contravention of the provisions of this Act, such other officer shall be treated as a Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be.
