How to file an RTI for property mutation in Andaman & Nicobar

The general guide on RTI for property mutation covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Andaman & Nicobar-specific bits: which office to file at, what fee mode the state accepts, the online portal (if any), and where to escalate.

1. Identify the office. Tehsildar / Patwari is the standard target; in Andaman & Nicobar, this is typically located at the district/tehsil headquarters.
2. Pay the fee as per state norms: Rs. 10 IPO; postal-only.
3. File: by Speed Post to the office, with acknowledgment.
4. Track: 30-day clock starts from the date of receipt by the public authority.

1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the First Appellate Authority (FAA) — typically the office one rung above the PIO.
2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Andaman & Nicobar State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: file a CPGRAMS grievance (pgportal.gov.in) and (where the state has one) a state-level grievance helpline.
