According to Section 7(1) of the RTI Act, 2005, the Public Information Officer must provide the requested information as expeditiously as possible, and in any case within thirty days of the receipt of the request. There is an exception for cases involving the life or liberty of a person, where the information must be provided within forty-eight hours.

The normal time limit for disposing of an RTI request is 30 days from the date of receipt by the public authority.

If the request is submitted to an Assistant Public Information Officer (APIO), the time limit is extended by five days, totaling 35 days. If the request involves consultation with a third party, the time limit can also be extended.
