How this works. Dates are calculated on a calendar-day basis in accordance with Section 7(1), 7(2), 11, 19(1), 19(3) and 19(6) of the Right to Information Act, 2005. No calendar-day holidays are deducted (the Act does not provide a holiday carve-out). For the 48-hour life-and-liberty window, time runs by the clock including non-working days. For §11, the calculator adds the 10-day objection window on top of the standard 30-day PIO window to reach 40 days. For Second Appeal, Section 19(3) runs 90 days from the date the decision should have been made or was actually received. This estimate does not yet model APIO +5 days, a valid Section 7(3) fee-payment exclusion, Section 7(6), or the Section 24 human-rights path; adjust those before relying on the output.
