RTI

This query is : Resolved
GoI, Ministry of HRD answered my RTI application. I asked for paper format that can be used in official and legal process. But they sent the reply on plain paper. A signature is present on each page, but nobody can say whose sign it is. There is no seal/stamp and not name or designation of the signatory is mentioned. The CPIO just forwarded the reply to me.
As a result, nobody is treating the reply as a valid proof.
Kindly suggest me what to do now.

Use these possibilities as u could not find other immediate way:
1. CPIO has forwarded it to you, isnt it an authentic proof?
2. Write to HRD Authority with non-sense allegation on basis of information furnished in such a way that it has to write some thing which in turn can confirm that what is forwarded to you is authentic.

This is how government works. You bring it to the knowledge of higher ups and request for authentication of their documents. If they do not oblige, file a complaint with the Commissioner for Information designated under the RTI Act.

Cont:-
The CPIO just wrote a letter with reference to my application, and stapled it to the reply wrote by someone of the ministry on plain paper and posted it.
I can type some page on my computer, put a sign of any Tom, Dick or Harry on each page (short sign, nobody can read the name), take the forwarding letter and staple it with that homemade reply.
