| + | ===== Why this matters for citizens ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Issues like this are common — every year lakhs of Indian citizens face the same hurdle. The core legal frameworks are the **Right to Information Act, 2005**, the **Information Technology Act, 2000** (for online matters), and the **Consumer Protection Act, 2019**. The enforcement bodies vary by issue but most start with a complaint to the relevant department PIO + a parallel CPGRAMS filing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Citizen action steps ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - **Step 1** — file an RTI under §6 of the RTI Act 2005 to the relevant department PIO. Use [[https:// | ||
| + | - **Step 2** — parallel **CPGRAMS** complaint at pgportal.gov.in for service-delivery push. | ||
| + | - **Step 3** — if PIO refuses, **§19(1) First Appeal** in 30 days. Use [[https:// | ||
| + | - **Step 4** — for fraud / criminal matters, **FIR at local police station** + **cybercrime portal** (cybercrime.gov.in) + **NCRP helpline 1930**. | ||
| + | - **Step 5** — for consumer issues, **Consumer Court** under Consumer Protection Act 2019 (e-filing at e-jagriti.gov.in). | ||
