Receipt contains a clause that if applicant does not turn up to collect the information on the appointed day, PIO will not be responsible for the delay. 2. If application does not pertain to that particular PIO, he will return it to applicant in Form B (Outside the jurisdiction of competent authority) (contravenes Sec 6(3)) 3.
