within 30 days, if you not getting reply, you Can file appeal U/s 19 of the RTI Act. Section 19 read as follows:
"19(1)Any person who, does not receive a decision within the time specified in sub-section (1) or clause (a) of sub-section (3) of section 7, or is aggrieved by a decision of the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, may within thirty days from the expiry of such period or from the receipt of such a decision prefer an appeal to such officer who is senior in rank to the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer as the case may be, in each public authority:
Provided that such officer may admit the appeal after the expiry of the period of thirty days if he or she is satisfied that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the appeal in time.

If you didnot get reply under RTI Act within 30 days from the Public Information Officers.You can directly write an Application to the First Appellate Authority stating that requisite information is not being furnished within 30 days.And if still no requisite information furnished to you then you can directly move on to the State Information Commission as a second Appeal or complaint.
