+**In one line.** **Section 6(3)** requires the PIO to transfer a misdirected RTI to the correct public authority within **five days**. The applicant does not refile.
+**What that means in practice.**
+  * Transfer is the PIO's duty, not the applicant's burden.
+  * The 30-day clock re-starts from the receiving authority's receipt date.
+  * Failure to transfer is itself a ground for first appeal and Section 20 penalty.
