Frequently Asked Questions

Under Section 19(1), you can file a First Appeal with the First Appellate Authority (usually one rank above PIO) within 30 days of the response deadline.
Can I track file movement via RTI?
Yes. You can request the noting sheet movement, current location of your file, names of officers who have seen it, and reasons for delay.
