 +
 +**Auto-fill the PIO + your case:** [[:rti-for-aadhaar-update|Open the RTI Drafter →]]
 +
 +
 +===== Sample completed form — what to include =====
 +
 +When you submit any RTI-related form, ensure these fields are filled correctly:
 +
 +  * **Applicant name** — exactly as on Aadhaar / PAN / Voter ID
 +  * **Postal address** — for the PIO to send the reply by Speed Post
 +  * **Phone + email** — optional but recommended for clarification
 +  * **Subject of request** — one-line description (≤ 250 chars)
 +  * **Specific records sought** — itemised list, NOT free-form questions
 +  * **Fee mode** — IPO / court-fee / DD / online / BPL exemption
 +  * **Date + signature** — applicant's full signature with date
 +  * **Severance + transfer clauses** — quote §10(1), §10(2), §6(3) of RTI Act
 +
 +===== Common rejection grounds at submission =====
 +
 +  * **Wrong state form** — many states mandate their own Form A. Check your state's RTI Rules.
 +  * **Fee not enclosed** — non-acceptance memo. ALWAYS include the IPO / receipt.
 +  * **No applicant signature** — return memo. Sign with date.
 +  * **Multiple subjects in one application** — split into separate applications. PIOs can return composite applications.
 +  * **Vague language** — re-frame as "**certified copy of [specific document]**", not "everything about my case".
 +
 +===== Citizen action steps if your application is rejected =====
 +
 +  - **Day 0** — file with proper IPO / fee + sign + date.
 +  - **Day 30** — silence by PIO = deemed refusal under §7(2). File §19(1) First Appeal.
 +  - **Day 60-90** — if FAA fails, escalate to State Information Commission under §19(3).
