	+	===== Why this matters for citizens =====
	+
	+	Issues like this are common — every year lakhs of Indian citizens face the same hurdle. The core legal frameworks are the Right to Information Act, 2005, the Information Technology Act, 2000 (for online matters), and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The enforcement bodies vary by issue but most start with a complaint to the relevant department PIO + a parallel CPGRAMS filing.
	+
	+	===== Citizen action steps =====
	+
	+	- Step 1 — file an RTI under §6 of the RTI Act 2005 to the relevant department PIO. Use [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html\|AI RTI Drafter]] for free.
	+	- Step 2 — parallel CPGRAMS complaint at pgportal.gov.in for service-delivery push.
	+	- Step 3 — if PIO refuses, §19(1) First Appeal in 30 days. Use [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/first-appeal-app.html\|First Appeal Builder]].
	+	- Step 4 — for fraud / criminal matters, FIR at local police station + cybercrime portal (cybercrime.gov.in) + NCRP helpline 1930.
	+	- Step 5 — for consumer issues, Consumer Court under Consumer Protection Act 2019 (e-filing at edaakhil.nic.in).
