+===== What this tool calculates =====
+| **Statutory stage** | **Clock** | **Act reference** |
+| PIO disposal — standard | 30 days from receipt | §7(1) |
+| PIO disposal — life &amp; liberty | 48 hours | §7(1) proviso |
+| §6(3) transfer | 5 days (then 30-day clock restarts) | §6(3) |
+| §11 third-party consultation | +10 days → 40-day total | §7(1) + §11 |
+| §7(6) fee-free supply | After 30-day breach | §7(6) |
+| First Appeal filing | 30 days from PIO decision (or deemed refusal) | §19(1) |
+| FAA disposal | 30 days, extendable to 45 with reasons | §19(6) |
+| Second Appeal filing | 90 days from FAA decision (or expiry) | §19(3) |
+===== How to use =====
+  - Enter the **date your RTI was filed**.
+  - Pick the **scenario**: standard, life-and-liberty, §11 third-party, or §6(3) transfer.
+  - (Optional) Enter the **date the PIO replied** — unlocks First Appeal and FAA disposal deadlines.
+  - (Optional) Enter the **date the FAA decided** — unlocks Second Appeal deadline.
+  - The result grid shows every deadline with its current status: **overdue**, **due today**, **3 days left**, or **safe**.
+===== What is NOT computed =====
+  * **Weekends and public holidays** — the RTI Act counts calendar days. Your actual receipt of a posted reply may arrive after the statutory deadline owing to postal delay; use the **date of dispatch** shown on the PIO's reply as the trigger for your appeal clock.
+  * **Condoned-delay scenarios** — §19(1) proviso allows the FAA to condone delay for sufficient cause; the tool shows the standard deadline, not the maximum condoned window.
+  * **State-specific rules** — most States follow the Central framework, but a few State Rules modify the §7(3) intimation or §11 consultation length. Check your State Rules if you are filing with a State PIO.
