What questions will your RTI actually ask?
A well-drafted RTI asks specific, dated questions the PIO can't evade. Below is the structure our legal team typically uses for this matter — drafted line by line in your final application.
- What is the current status of the Street Lights application / matter filed on (date)?
- What is the name and designation of the officer assigned to handle this matter, along with their contact number and email?
- What are the specific reasons for the delay / inaction beyond the statutory / internal timeline applicable to this matter?
- Please provide certified copies of all file notings, correspondence, and orders related to this matter to date.
- What is the expected timeline for resolution and the action plan going forward?
Typical timeline — from draft to government reply
Timelines, delays and what the reply must contain
Under Section 7(1) the PIO must provide the information or reject it for a reason specified in Sections 8 or 9, within thirty days. A rejection must carry its reasons, the appeal period and the appellate authority's particulars (Section 7(8)); no decision at all is a deemed refusal (Section 7(2)). Replies run late for identifiable reasons — a transfer to another public authority, a further-fee stage that pauses the clock, or records that are simply not readily traceable.

⏱ If the department delays beyond 30 days
If the department does not respond within 30 days, we file a First Appeal under Section 19(1) of the RTI Act 2005 at no additional cost - included with every FileMyRTI application. Persistent non-compliance is further escalated to the Central or State Information Commission.
