Under the RTI Act, the time limit for a Public Information Officer to provide information is generally how many days?

Under Section 7 of the Right to Information Act, the Public Information Officer is generally required to provide the information requested, or reject the request, within thirty days of the receipt of the request. Where the information sought concerns the life or liberty of a person, it must be provided within forty-eight hours. The time limits ensure that citizens receive timely responses to their requests. Failure to respond within the prescribed period is treated as a deemed refusal under the Act.
