Dear Lalit, Why are you complaining ? If what you say is true, then Speedpost is ideal for RTI users - especially the misuers. The only thing we need is a physical Speedpost receipt showing a date / time. The law presumes that it will be delivered in 72 hours within Delhi / NCR.
Or use the CPIO route of IndiaPost. 5 days extra is allowed, no need for any extra speedpost charges - you just pay Rs.10 as the application fee, and I have always got a confirmation of onward transmission from IndiaPost within 5 - 6 days.
