	+	<WRAP info>
	+	No statutory form for first appeal — use plain paper addressed to "The First Appellate Authority" of the same public authority. Format below works for any state.
	+	</WRAP>
	+
	+	===== What the form needs =====
	+	* Appellant name + complete address
	+	* Original RTI application no. + date
	+	* PIO's name + designation + reply date (or "no reply received")
	+	* Specific grounds of appeal (cite §7(8), §10 severability, §8 misuse, etc.)
	+	* Statement of facts
	+	* Prayer (what the FAA should order)
	+	* List of enclosures (RTI copy, PIO reply, payment proof)
	+	* Date + signature
	+
	+	===== Where to submit =====
	+	Hand-deliver to PIO office (FAA is usually senior officer there). Get receipt.
	+
	+	===== Fee =====
	+	FREE under §19(1) — no fee allowed.
	+
	+	===== Timeline =====
	+	30 days statutory (extendable to 45 with written reasons) under §19(6).
	+
	+	===== Tips + common mistakes =====
	+	* No fee — this is a constitutional safeguard
	+	* Within 30 days of PIO reply
	+	* Address to "FAA" not by name (institution rolls)
	+	* Be focused on grounds; don't re-write the original RTI
	+
	+	===== If submitted form is rejected / delayed — file an RTI =====
	+
	+	Forms get "lost", "incomplete", "wrong section" — RTI brings out the actual file noting and officer name, which usually resolves the issue within 15 days.
