Approval Delays
The Right to Information (RTI) Act is a law that gives citizens of India the right to access information held by the government. This law can be used to handle delays in government approvals by filing an RTI application with the concerned government department. The application should ask for information about the status of the approval and the reasons for the delay. The government department is required to provide this information within 30 days of receiving the application. If the department fails to provide the information, the applicant can file a complaint with the Central Information Commission (CIC) or SIC. The CIC or SIC is an independent body that is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the RTI Act. The CIC or SIC can order the government department to provide the information and can also impose penalties for non-compliance.
Here are some specific examples of how the RTI Act can be used to handle delays in government approvals:
If you have applied for a building permit and there has been no progress on your application for more than a month, you can file an RTI application with the municipal corporation to find out the status of your application. The municipal corporation is required to provide you with this information within 30 days.
If you have applied for a passport and there has been no progress on your application for more than a month, you can file an RTI application with the passport office to find out the status of your application. The passport office is required to provide you with this information within 30 days.
If you have applied for a ration card and there has been no progress on your application for more than a month, you can file an RTI application with the food department to find out the status of your application. The food department is required to provide you with this information within 30 days.
