Welcome Akanksha to
RTI India.
I am not sure if I understood all what you meant
1. To whom you want to ask a question? Is it as a
PIO to another
PIO/other Office? Or an officer as a citizen, one want to ask a question from
PIO?
2. Yes, if you asked the information from another
PIO to be supplied to the applicant, then yes, that is deemed to be a reply by another
PIO.
3. No, only
PIO should answer the question, and the applicant should follow the procedure like depositing the fees, and applying to
PIO. However, it is not a bondage, but you can offcourse help the applicant to the right procedure.
