	+	The general guide on [[:rti-for-death-certificate-delay\|RTI for death certificate]] covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Kolkata-specific bits: which municipal department to file at, what fee mode Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) accepts, the local portal (if any), and where to escalate within West Bengal.
	+
	+	===== Filing in Kolkata — 4 steps =====
	+	- Identify the office. Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) (Municipal Registrar of Births & Deaths) typically sits at Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) headquarters or the relevant zonal office.
	+	- Pay the fee: Rs. 10 IPO/cash; check the [[:state-scheme:west-bengal:start\|West Bengal hub]] for any state-specific fee.
	+	- File: online via [[https://www.kmcgov.in/]] OR by Speed Post to Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) (with acknowledgment).
	+	- Track: 30-day clock starts from receipt by the public authority.
	+
	+	===== If you don't get a reply =====
	+	- Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the FAA (typically the Municipal Commissioner of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC)).
	+	- Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the West Bengal State Information Commission.
	+	- Parallel pressure: Use the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) grievance portal (if available) and CPGRAMS (//pgportal.gov.in//).
	+
	+	===== Kolkata-specific tips =====
	+	* For city-wide patterns (not just your case), check [[:state-scheme:west-bengal:death-certificate\|RTI for death certificate in West Bengal]] for the state-level template.
	+	* If Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has multiple zones/wards, address your application to the zonal officer of your specific zone — saves time on internal routing.
	+	* Photograph the building/road/issue with a timestamp before filing — strengthens any subsequent enforcement action.
