Dharani Land Record Issue? How RTI Gets Your File Status, Reasons and Officer Details

Property / Revenue

Quick answer

If your Dharani application (mutation, correction, succession, NALA or a grievance module request) is pending or was rejected without a clear reason, an RTI application makes the department answer on record: where the file is, who is holding it, what reasons were recorded, and what action was taken. Raise the Dharani grievance route first; use RTI when that produces no movement.

Why this usually gets stuck

Dharani module requests routed to the Tahsildar / RDO / Collector queue and left pending without communication
Corrections (name, extent, missing survey number) rejected with generic or no reasons
Records showing in the prohibited list or with old entries even after registration
Grievance tickets closed without the underlying record changing

What an RTI gets you, on record

The current status and complete file movement of your specific application number
The name and designation of the officer with whom it is pending, and for how long
Certified copies of the notes/orders recording why it was rejected or held
The action taken on your grievance ticket, on record

Where to file it

Address the RTI to the PIO of the concerned Tahsildar / Mandal Revenue Office (or the RDO / Collectorate if your module request sits there). File online on the Telangana RTI portal (login required) or by post. Not sure which office holds your file? Use FindMyPIO or let FileMyRTI identify it.

Sample RTI questions (edit the bracketed details)

Provide the current status and complete file movement details of my Dharani application number [number] submitted on [date] for [mutation/correction/succession] of survey number [number], village [name], mandal [name].

State the name and designation of the officer with whom the said application is currently pending and the number of days it has been pending at each stage.

Provide certified copies of the notes, orders or remarks recorded on the said application, including the specific reasons for any rejection or hold.

State the action taken on grievance ticket number [number] raised on the Dharani portal on [date], with copies of related correspondence.

Keep questions factual and specific to your own matter. Ask for records, status, dates, reasons and officer details - not opinions. Do not include anyone else's personal information.

If there is no reply in 30 days

The PIO is ordinarily required to respond within 30 days under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act. If there is no proper response, file a First Appeal with the First Appellate Authority of the same public authority; if that fails, a Second Appeal lies with the Information Commission. See the Appeal Generator.

Frequently asked questions

Can RTI fix my Dharani record?

RTI does not itself correct the record - it forces the department to state on record where your application is, why it is stuck and who is responsible. That paper trail is what typically gets a stalled file moving, and it is the foundation for an appeal or a complaint to higher officers.

Who is the PIO for Dharani issues?

Usually the Tahsildar (MRO) of your mandal for record-level matters, or the RDO/Collectorate where the module request is escalated. FileMyRTI identifies the correct PIO before filing.

Dharani grievance first or RTI first?

Raise the Dharani grievance/module route first. If it is closed without resolution or nothing moves, RTI is the accountability step.
