Question

What happens if a person fails to receive information within 30 days of application of an RTI form?

• A. The applicant can appeal to the Assistant Public Information Officer.
• B. The applicant can appeal to the State's Chief Information Officer.
• C. The applicant can appeal to the Public Information Officer.
• D. Nothing else can be done.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Nothing else can be done.

If the concerned department does not extract the information or refuses to give information within 30 days, then the applicant can appeal to the Public Information Officer. If the information does not come on time or is refused in the first appeal, the applicant can make a second appeal to the State's Chief Information Officer within 90 days.
