I want to file an RTI with the election commission asking for the details of the electoral rolls in my constituency. Can someone guide me on how to do this? What are the fees and the address to send the application to?
I applied for a voter ID card but it's been 2 months and I haven't received it. Can someone guide me on how to file an RTI to find out the status of my application?
A rejected RTI is challenged by checking whether the refusal cites a valid Section 8 or 9 exemption with reasons, then filing a First Appeal within 30 days under Section 19(1) and, if needed, a Second Appeal to the Information Commission within 90 days under Section 19(3).
Read the stepsIf the PIO does not reply to your RTI within 30 days, the law treats it as a deemed refusal, so you can file a First Appeal under Section 19(1) within 30 days and, if still ignored, a Second Appeal to the Information Commission under Section 19(3).
