David Dahiya 1 Posted April 15 In my RTI status , it is showing that the request is forwarded to CPIO. So I want to know how much time the CPIO take to reply my RTI ? And I also want to know the role of CPIO in this means the information is provided by the ministry and CPIO is only the sharing person . 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prasad GLN 1,597 Posted April 29 A designated CPIO must collect such information from the custodian and provide it as expeditiously as possible but within 30 days from receipt of such request. If that information is not available with his authority, within 5 days he has to transfer the application to concerned CPIO and the second CPIO's time starts from the date he receives such transferred application form. You can wait for a maximum period of 35 days and can file First Appeal stating deemed denial as grounds for first appeal. (If PIO fails to response information within 30 days from receipt of application, (in case of not providing of information nor denying information), the status is treated as deemed denial of information. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
