Re: How to File a Second Appeal under RTI? (For Central Public Authorities)
Dear Sir,
I must compliment you for the excellent site and members. I need help on getting the replies on my RTI application which is long pending. Being in Defence services it is not always easy to get what you are asking for and so I am unable to trace the FAA. How do i got ahead in this case. My application pertains to improper fixation of my basic Pay in the 5th pay commission which forces me to draw an increment lesser than my juniors. Request advice me how to proceed.
