Quick Summary

If a government authority fails to provide information requested under the RTI Act within the stipulated 30 days, or if the information provided is unsatisfactory, you have the right to appeal. The first appeal should be lodged with the next higher authority. While personal or confidential information may be legitimately denied with clear justification, other information must be supplied within the timeframe. If grounds for denial are not clearly stated or if the reply is incomplete, an appeal is the correct course of action.

You appeal to the higher authority

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 10 May 2021
Denial to supply information by Govt Dept or not supplied within 30 days are different things.Govt Dept can deny personal and confidential informations to any one but other informations has to supply within 30 days so if you sought personal and confidential informations then stand of Govt Dept not to supply is very right and if other informations not supplied within stipulated period then you have right to appeal.

I think you have already posted two queries. This is the third one. Are you asking about academic interest? If a PIO does not give you information within the stipulated time of 30 days, you can file 1st appeal to the next higher authority.

In case any information is to be denied, the grounds for doing so should be clearly stated. The PIO, who is denying information under the RTI Act, must show satisfactory reasons as to why information cannot be disclosed and clearly state exemption provided under the RTI Act.
The RTI Act states that SICs and CICs are entitled to entertain RTI applicants' complaints in case they do not receive an order within a stipulated time frame. ... In case reply is received and RTI applicant is not satisfied, then the RTI applicant will have to file first appeal

Yes, you may file first appeal in case no reply is received within 30 days or if the reply is not satisfactory or incomplete.
