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:

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.
