Under the Right to Information Act, a Central Public Information Officer is the officer designated under Section 5 by public authorities falling under the central government to provide information to applicants.

The designation of CPIOs and SPIOs at all administrative units ensures that there is a responsible officer to handle RTI requests across the central and state public authorities respectively.
