  1. Identify the office. Municipal Revenue Officer is the standard target; in Lakshadweep, this is typically located at the district/tehsil headquarters.
  2. Pay the fee as per state norms: Rs. 10 IPO; postal-only.
  3. File: by Speed Post to the office, with acknowledgment.
  4. Track: 30-day clock starts from the date of receipt by the public authority.

If you don't get a reply

  1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the First Appellate Authority (FAA) — typically the office one rung above the PIO.

  3. Parallel pressure: file a CPGRAMS grievance (pgportal.gov.in) and (where the state has one) a state-level grievance helpline.
