+===== Frequently asked questions =====
+==== Can a private dealer be made to reply under RTI? ====
+The dealer is the agent of the oil company; the oil company is the public authority. The CPIO of the oil company holds or can compel the records under Section 5(4). File the RTI with the oil-company CPIO, not the dealer directly.
+==== Will the dealership agreement be released? ====
+Generally yes. Section 8(1)(d) commercial confidence may be raised in part, but the standard terms and conditions and service obligations are routinely disclosed in the larger public interest under Section 8(2).
+==== My consumer number is required by the dealer for refill. Will RTI overrule that? ====
+RTI gives you records, not service. After RTI exposes a pattern of delay, escalate to the oil-company nodal grievance officer. The two routes work in parallel.
