Need Help: Want to know time duration of Appeal and First Appeal

[niravshah74]

Any one can tell me, i have submitted my RTI to officer. But she didn't reply me withing 30 days. Now i want to submit my FIRST Appeal to the Appeal Officer. But I do not know, under how many days I should submit that form to the concern officer?
Pls tell me as early as possible. I have applied on 16/06/08. Today 30 days are over.

30 days of receipt of your complaint directly in the concerned office/department.
35 days.In case the information is from other office/branch.(other then the office where you have originally submitted the application.)
In case of Post then days will start from the date of delivery.

It is advisable to wait for total 45 days(30+5+10 postal delays) after waiting for 45 days you can file your Ist appeal before the Higher Authority/Designated Authority/Appelant Authority of the concerned department.
