+{{page>snippets:dpdp-banner}}
+<WRAP info>**Direct answer.** File RTI to **Tehsil Food Inspector** AND **District Supply Officer**. Ask FPS allotment register, delivery slip, beneficiary entitlement vs delivered quantity, vigilance committee report.</WRAP>
+<WRAP collapse>
+===== Legal framework =====
+  * **NFSA 2013 §32** — vigilance committee at FPS.
+  * **Targeted PDS Control Order 2015** — short-delivery sanctions.
+  * **State Civil Supplies Acts** — fines and licence revocation.
+</WRAP>
+===== 5 questions to ask =====
+  - FPS allotment register for the month.
+  - Delivery slip with my entitlement.
+  - Quantity actually delivered (signed acknowledgment).
+  - Vigilance committee meeting minutes.
+  - Action taken on previous complaints.
+===== Template =====
+<code>
+To: The Public Information Officer, Tehsil Food Inspector / DSO
+Subject: Application under §6 RTI Act 2005 — PDS shortage / non-delivery
+My ration card [..] FPS [..] short-delivered for month [..]. Please furnish: (1) FPS allotment register, (2) delivery slip with my entitlement, (3) acknowledged delivery, (4) vigilance minutes, (5) past-complaint action.
+Fee: Rs.10 by IPO/cash.
+</code>
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Filing only at FPS — go to **Tehsil Food Inspector**.
+  * Not citing **FPS code + beneficiary household ID**.
+  * Skipping the **vigilance committee** request — that is a §32 NFSA right.
+===== Case law anchors =====
+  * **CIC/MoCAFPD/A/2017/000678** — FPS register disclosable.
+  * **People's Union for Civil Liberties v. UoI (SC 2001)** — PDS rights enforceable.
+===== Pro tips =====
+  * Most states have **e-PDS portals** — reference allotment ID.
+  * Use **vigilance committee** as parallel route.
+===== FAQ =====
+  * **Q: FPS shut for days?** RTI for **closure register**.
+  * **Q: Aadhaar-OTP failure?** Use offline biometric exception under NFSA.
