It's very simple, easy and no-brainer. No different than filing a complaint with government authorities.
- Find the concerned 'PIO - Public Information Officer' and Mailing Address, usually available from their websites.
Look here for links to various websites
- Also find out the prescribed fee (usually it Rs.10/- per application) and Payable authority.
- Prepare a RTI application asking for right information.
- Buy a Rs.10/- postal order at Post office and make payable to the concerned account authority,
- Register post the RTI application along with the postal order. Good idea to send it with an acknowledgment.
- You should get a reply within 30 days. If not you have a right to follow up.
- If the reply is taking time beyond 30 days, you have the option to appeal to the designated appellate authority
- If this appeal also doesn't work, you can take up the matter with SIC (State Information Council).
- The last stop would be at CIC.
NOTE: Please save copies of application, PO folio, receipt for register post and all correspondences relating to the case for futher refrences if need arises.
