A.Dear Client,
As desired, SPIO stands for STATE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER and belongs to the State Govt. Offices/establishments, CPIO stands for CENTRAL PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER and belongs to the Central Govt. Offices/establishments. First Application seeking information from the designated SPIO or CPIO is made under 6(1) of the RTI Act, 2005 along with an application fee of Rs.10/- payable by IPO to be drawn in favour of the AO of the concerned Public Authority. An appeal against the reply of SPIO/CPIO or for non-receipt of reply within 45 days from the SPIO/CPIO is required to be filed within 30 days of receipt of reply before the First Appellate Authority(FAA) under Sec.19(1) of the Act. and on receipt of an unsatisfactory reply from FAA, a second Appeal under Sec.19(3) of the Act is required to be filed within 90 days before the State Information Commission or the Central Information Commission. A local Town Committee is constituted under the State-specific Municipal Corporation Act, so, the application may be sent to SPIO, of the concerned Municipal Authority. It may be pertinent to mention here that once an application is made to the SPIO of any public authority that is not concerned with the relevant matter shall immediately forward the application to the concerned SPIO as per the mandate of Sec.6(3) of the Act with an intimation to the concerned applicant. As per Sec. 4 of the Act, all public authorities are required to publish the name of the designated SPIO or CPIO either on their official website or on the notice board for the information of the public. Hope the matter stands clarified.

A.Dear Client,
Public Information Officers are designated by the public authorities at each sub-divisional level. You can file the application through online or offline mode. The website http://rtionline.gov.in provides you with guidelines on how to file an RTI application and help you in identifying the proper authority or department to file the application. You can also submit the RTI application to the office of Public Information Officer. If you are not satisfied with the reply, then you can approach the appellant authority for further information.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

A.Dear Sir,
You must first apply to the local town committee and if your application is rejected it will disclose the next Appellate Authority to whom you have to approach for getting remedy.
