The request, filed in December 2025, pertains to claiming an enhanced leave encashment exemption due to a retrospective CBDT notification. Six months later, with no communication received and learning the matter is pending with the Pr.

Remind them to send the necessary information; even then, they do not respond, and appeal to the next higher authority against the PIO.

If you have not sought information through RTI act so far, then you can do so immediately after which you can plan to escalate the matter through legal channel.
