Dear Mr Sarbajit, Just one clarification to add regarding using the "CAPIO in designated Post Offices" route for filing RTI's:
They are supposed to only accept RTI applications for those Central PA's (not State PA's) for which they are the designated CAPIO's. Not for others. There have been instances when the Central PA has refused to accept RTI's filed through Post offices, because the PA has not designated the Post Office CAPIO's. Once case in point is the CIC. One cannot file a RTI to the CPIO of CIC, through the Post Office route. Please see: http://www.rtiindia.org/forum/47025-post-office-not-designated-apio-central-information-commission-date-receipt-means-date-receipt-public-information-officers-desk.html RTIwanted --- On Thu, 3/11/10, sarbajitr <[email protected]> wrote: From: sarbajitr <[email protected]> Subject: [rti_india] Re: indiapost.gov.in .
