How to file an RTI for Aadhaar update in Puducherry

The general guide on RTI for Aadhaar update covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Puducherry-specific bits: which office to file at, what fee mode the state accepts, the online portal (if any), and where to escalate.

1. Identify the office. UIDAI Regional Office is the standard target; in Puducherry, 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.

1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the First Appellate Authority (FAA) — typically the office one rung above the PIO.
2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Puducherry State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: file a CPGRAMS grievance (pgportal.gov.in) and (where the state has one) a state-level grievance helpline.
