Quick Summary

When submitting an RTI application, there is no limit to the number of queries you can ask. The Information Officer is generally required to provide a response within 30 days of receiving your application. If you do not receive a satisfactory reply or any reply at all within this timeframe, you have the right to file a first appeal.

RTI act has not fixed no. of queries to be asked in RTI application.

The information need to be provided in 30 days.

Section 7 RTI Act:

7. Disposal of request.—
(/) Subject to the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 5 or the proviso to sub-section (3) of section 6, the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, on receipt of a request under section 6 shall, as expeditiously as possible, and in any case within thirty days of the receipt of the request. either provide the information on payment of such fee as may be prescribed or reject the request for any of the reasons specified in sections 8 and 9:

Why to repeat the same query?

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 18 March 2020
First attending the query fully and then to raise objection of repeat is also not understandable.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 18 March 2020
There is no restrictions that the questions should be in limited number only.
You can very well ask all such questions which you may desire to have an anser.
The IO has to furnish the replies within one month from the date of the receipt of this application at his end.

Expert Raj Kumar makkad ji,

The query was replied not knowing it is repeated. When the fact came to knowledge, it was mentioned that it is a repeated query.

Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 23 March 2020
The time limit to provide information under RTI is 30 Days apart from time taken in DAK.

If reply unsatisfactory / no reply, may file 1st appeal to 1st Appellate authority, and again to second appellate authority.

Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 23 March 2020
Sorry, it was a repeated query, however, to reply one out of repeated query, above query was selected.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 23 March 2020
Selection of the particular query is not bad.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 23 March 2020
If reply within 30 days is not received then the first appeal can be got preferred.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 23 March 2020
Assistant Public Information Officer is bound to display the name and designation of the 1st Appellate authority so that the applicant may be got facilitated.
