When to call

When to use CPGRAMS over RTI

CPGRAMS for “fix my problem”. RTI for “give me information”. Different tools.

CPGRAMS vs RTI together

You can file BOTH in parallel — they don't exclude each other.

If the helpline does not resolve — file an RTI

Helplines often log a complaint without solving it. RTI gives you the file noting + officer name + actual reasoning, and most stuck cases clear within 7-15 days.

1. Status of my complaint / application no. _____ dated _____ as on date.
2. Name + designation of the officer assigned to my file.
3. Reasons for delay beyond the statutory timeline.
4. Copy of any noting / movement of my file in the past 30 days.
5. Likely date of resolution.
