    Solution

    RTI Act prescribes a time limit under which the reply needs to be given by the Public Information Officer for the application within 30 days. If 30 days have passed and you have still not received your information, it is considered that the PIO/APIO has refused to give you information. You can appeal against this decision within 30 days to the officer senior to PIO. First Appeal has to be completed within 30 days. Second Appeal can be filed within 90 days against the decision of the second appellate authority with the Chief Information Commission. The decision of CIC is final and binding.
