RTI for Photocopy of Mains Answersheet
In a recent ruling CIC (in June 2014) had ordered UPSC to give the photocopy of the mains answersheet to a candidate. So you can demand yours as well. Only then you can know where and why did good / bad marks.
Possible to file RTI online: https://rtionline.gov.in or via post
Drafting is pretty simply, copy paste following text
Your name
Address
Email:
To,
CPIO,
Union Public Service Commission
Dholpur House, Shahjahan Road
New Delhi-110069
Sub: Application under Right to information Act. Seeking my evaluated papers of Civil Service Mains 2013 Exam.
Respected Sir,
My name:
My roll number:
Kindly provide me the copies of my answersheets from Civil Service (Mains) examination 2013 for following papers:
- General Studies paper 1 to 4
- Optional subject paper I and paper II
- English language paper
- Indian language paper
- Essay
As per the order of Hon’ble Chief Information Commissioner Shri Rajiv Mathur in CIC/SM/A/2013/001282/RM, dated June 3, 2014, he has held that every candidate has right to inspect / obtain a photocopy of his evaluated answer sheet in the civil service exam. Therefore, the said information cannot be denied / withheld under Section 8 of RTI.
RTI application charges
- With this application, I’ve added the requisite Rs.10 application fees via Netbanking / DD / Indian postal order drawn in favor of “Accounts officer,UPSC“
- I seek the information in paper format / electronic (CD) format
- Let me know additional charges for getting the requisite information.
Thanking you in anticipation
Sincerely
DONOT FORGET TO SIGN AND DATE
—–
Mrunal notes:
- Legally, you can demand the information in CD/DVD format by giving Rs.50, but UPSC babus never give CD/DVD and don’t even return 50 rupees. So don’t send additional money in advance right now. At this stage only Rs. 10 as fees for filing the RTI application.
- After recieving your application, he’ll write back to you asking for additional money for the photocopy/CD charges. Only then you send money.
- if you’re filing online and donot get conformation even after successful payment via netbanking, THEN DONOT Worry. you’ll get notified in 1-2 days that your application has been accepted. (happened with me in past, so don’t apply again in that case, one application sufficient.)
- if you’re filling online, you may also attach a PDF copy of your hallticket (as proof that it’s you and not some third party.)
- Legally information within 30 days. But UPSC babus deliberately reply the letter on the very last day before deadline. So assume 35 days.
- other than that, request all mains players to put their optional subject marks.

Hi, Anyone applied for RTI for 2013 mains answer sheets and got any response from UPSC?
Dear Mrunal
I filed RTI but cud not get true copy of my answer sheet . UPSC says that they cant provide copy of answer sheet and they are taking shelter of some rule of RTI Act. R they justifiable to do so????
Regards,
SP Gautam 09766341231
I Too filed on Same Day as I did not got mail as you …So I am waiting I think i will also got same reply then we should file first appeal and @mrunal sir too appeal to selected once to do same and we shall reference to Verdict against this Rule already given by CIC as told by mrunal :)
I doubt how much of a help will an appeal do, to help us get the evaluated answer scripts
UPSC had filed an SLP in Supreme Court regarding the same, the final decision of which is awaited.
Meanwhile CIC had made two decisions on two other RTIs regarding providing answer scripts (just 3 days back)

I got this reply to my RTI request
Dear Applicant,
With reference to your online RTI application, it is informed that Public Authority is of the considered view that the evaluation of evaluated answer sheets of Civil Services (Main) Examination comes under the core functioning of their working. Hence Section 8(1)(d) of the RTI Act, 2005 is invoked to deny your evaluated answer sheets of Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2013, Public Authority being the affected third party.
2. Shri Sanjay Mehrishi, Joint Secretary, Union Public Service Commission, 114, Ayog Sachivalaya Building, Dholpur House, Shahjahan Road, New Delhi -110069 is the Appellate Authority under Section 19(1) of the RTI Act, 2005.

Mrunal I got the following reply on my RTI requesting answer scripts:
“With reference to your online RTI application dated 19.6.2014, it is informed that Public Authority is of the considered view that the evaluation of evaluated answer sheets of Civil Services (Main) Examination comes under the core functioning of their working. Hence Section 8(1)(d) of the RTI Act, 2005 is invoked to deny your evaluated answer sheets of Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2013, Public Authority being the affected third party. ”
What should I write in my first appeal? If they have shown answer scripts to someone then why are they rejecting ?
I Too filed on Same Day as I did not got mail as you …So I am waiting I think i will also got same reply then we should file first appeal and @mrunal sir too appeal to selected once to do same and we shall reference to Verdict against this Rule already given by CIC as told by mrunal :)

@Mrunal..Upsc babu are denying to provide answer sheets and replied the same as been replied to other applicants.So please help us and guide us to get our answer sheets.
Regarding evaluated answer sheets of Civil Services (Main) Examination
One(those only who have written mains ) should use aditya bandopadhyay vs cbse
http://rti.drdo.gov.in/CIC%20decisions/cbse.pdf
Where
Conclusion was In view of the foregoing, the order of the High Court directing the examining bodies to permit examinees to have inspection of their answer books is affirmed, subject to the clarifications regarding the scope of the RTIAct and the safeguards and conditions subject to which ‘information’ should be furnished. The appeals are disposed of accordingly.
Section 8(1)(d) of the RTI Act, 2005 says
information including commercial confidence, trade secrets or intellectual property, the disclosure of which would harm the competitive position of a third party, unless the competent authority is satisfied that larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information

Dear Mrunal, Could you please devote some time to finding out a one-size-fits-all strategy to extract the photocopies of Mains examination for UPSC. It seems everyone is handed over the same one-size-fits-all denial in clear violation of every former judicial decisons in this regard. UPSC as usual loves to continue with its babudom as their prized relic of colonial legacy. I’s time to show them the Modern India. Lets do it ASAP .
dear mrunal, filed the rti on june 20th, got confirmation mail, but havent received a rply since then, kindly advise how to proceed
I had filed a first appeal for my answer sheets after UPSC denied them and here is the reply I got from them.
Reply :- I have gone through the contents of the appeal, reply furnished by the CPIO, UPSC to the Appellant, the facts and comments offered by the officers concerned of the UPSC on the appeal and the provisions of the Right to Information Act, 2005. I note that the reply given by the CPIO, UPSC is appropriate. However, it is informed that the matter pertaining to providing the evaluated answersheets of Civil Services Examination to the applicants is sub-judice with the Honble Supreme Court vide WP No.37734/2010 CPIO, UPSC v/s TR Rajesh, therefore the same cannot be provided till the outcome of the above case. The view of the UPSC has also been supported by Honble CIC vide its decision No. CIC/SM/A/2013/001261/RM dated 17.07.2014.
Same here..I am filing the first appeal
Mrunal bhai kuch update karoooooooo
