  2. Pay the fee as per state norms: Rs. 50 IPO (state-specific, highest in India); Rs. 2/page.
  3. File: online via https://rtionline.haryana.gov.in/ OR by Speed Post to the office, with acknowledgment.
  4. Track: 30-day clock starts from the date of receipt by the public authority.

If you don't get a reply

  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 Haryana State Information Commission.
  3. Parallel pressure: file a CPGRAMS grievance (pgportal.gov.in) and (where the state has one) a state-level grievance helpline.
