Important dates that should not be missed in any RTI proceedings.
In RTIA there are many instances of waiting more than 30 days for PIO reply.
I feel that it would be good to have the original Applicant keeping an eye on RTI due dates, and remind the volunteer ( who actually filed the application ) for further proceedings. Below are the important dates that should not be missed in any RTI proceedings.
| For PIO to reply to application | 30 days from date of receipt of application |
| For PIO to transfer to another PA under Sec 6(3) | 5 days from date of receipt of application |
| For PIO to issue notice to 3rd Party | 5 days from date of receipt of application |
| For 3rd Party to make a representation to PIO | 10 days from receipt of notice from PIO |
| For PIO to reply to application if 3rdParty involved | 40 days from date of receipt of application |
| For applicant to make First Appeal | 30 days from date of receipt of PIO’s reply or from date when reply was to be received |
| For First Appellate Authority to pass an order | 30 days from receipt of First Appeal OR Maximum 45 days, if reasons for delay are given in writing |
| For applicant to make Second Appeal before CIC/SIC | 90 days from receipt of First Appeal orders or from the date when orders were to be received |
| For CIC/SIC to decide Second Appeal | No time limit specified |
Very good information .. I have updated the details on the Templates for RTI information and will ensure that this is taken care of in future.
RTI-A is currently facing a sever shortage of volunteers and we are looking forward for committed volunteers, who are ready to file RTI’s all over India , on behalf of various people
