Return of money for cancelled applications under Rajiv Swagruha Scheme
Description of the situation:
Under the name of Rajiv Swagruha the government has requested a refundable deposit of Rs. 5000 to apply for a house. The final estimate turned out to be double the initial estimate. A lot of people including my parents have canceled their application and requested for a refund. It has been 5 years and there is no sign of the money. When an email was sent to them they replied saying that it would take more time giving no specific time frame. I was ready to file an RTI myself but I know there are several people with the same problem. If I have to file the RTI in a way which helps everybody I think there is a need for anonymity because there is a possible misuse of those funds. For details of this project one can visit http://www.rajivswagruhaap.gov.in/cis/index.php?action=viewScheme
Questions pertaining to this RTI:
1) How many applicants have applied for houses under Rajiv Swagruha?

3) It has been five years. Who are the persons responsible for this lagging delay of refunds? What is the punishment levied upon these responsible persons?

The information requested pertains to more than one district office…
But there is no need for more than one RTI Application..
In my opinion we can send this to PIO of CMO Andhra.. as per the act he should fwd this to all district or collect information from all district to get the desired information..

I agree with Skywalker. We should just file it with CMO. They are quite transparent on everything(using the website) except on the money.
