	+
	+	===== What this tool calculates =====
	+
	+	\| Statutory stage \| Clock \| Act reference \|
	+	\| PIO disposal — standard \| 30 days from receipt \| §7(1) \|
	+	\| PIO disposal — life & liberty \| 48 hours \| §7(1) proviso \|
	+	\| §6(3) transfer \| 5 days (then 30-day clock restarts) \| §6(3) \|
	+	\| §11 third-party consultation \| +10 days → 40-day total \| §7(1) + §11 \|
	+	\| §7(6) fee-free supply \| After 30-day breach \| §7(6) \|
	+	\| First Appeal filing \| 30 days from PIO decision (or deemed refusal) \| §19(1) \|
	+	\| FAA disposal \| 30 days, extendable to 45 with reasons \| §19(6) \|
	+	\| Second Appeal filing \| 90 days from FAA decision (or expiry) \| §19(3) \|
	+
	+	===== How to use =====
	+
	+	- Enter the date your RTI was filed.
	+	- Pick the scenario: standard, life-and-liberty, §11 third-party, or §6(3) transfer.
	+	- (Optional) Enter the date the PIO replied — unlocks First Appeal and FAA disposal deadlines.
	+	- (Optional) Enter the date the FAA decided — unlocks Second Appeal deadline.
	+	- The result grid shows every deadline with its current status: overdue, due today, 3 days left, or safe.
	+
	+	===== What is NOT computed =====
	+
	+	* Weekends and public holidays — the RTI Act counts calendar days. Your actual receipt of a posted reply may arrive after the statutory deadline owing to postal delay; use the date of dispatch shown on the PIO's reply as the trigger for your appeal clock.
	+	* Condoned-delay scenarios — §19(1) proviso allows the FAA to condone delay for sufficient cause; the tool shows the standard deadline, not the maximum condoned window.
	+	* State-specific rules — most States follow the Central framework, but a few State Rules modify the §7(3) intimation or §11 consultation length. Check your State Rules if you are filing with a State PIO.
