How to file an RTI for PMAY (housing) in Uttarakhand

The general guide on RTI for PMAY (housing) covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Uttarakhand-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. BDO (rural) / CMO (urban) is the standard target; in Uttarakhand, this is typically located at the district/tehsil headquarters.
2. Pay the fee as per state norms: Rs. 10 IPO or online.
3. File: online via https://rti.uk.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.

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