The general guide on RTI for death certificate covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Rajkot-specific bits: which municipal department to file at, what fee mode Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) accepts, the local portal (if any), and where to escalate within Gujarat.

1. Identify the office. Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) (Municipal Registrar of Births & Deaths) typically sits at Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) headquarters or the relevant zonal office.
2. Pay the fee: Rs. 10 IPO/cash; check the Gujarat hub for any state-specific fee.
3. File: online via https://www.rmc.gov.in/ OR by Speed Post to Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) (with acknowledgment).
4. Track: 30-day clock starts from receipt by the public authority.

1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the FAA (typically the Municipal Commissioner of Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC)).
2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Gujarat State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: Use the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) grievance portal (if available) and CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in).
