A Second Appeal must be made within 90 days from the date on which the decision should have been made or from the date a decision was actually received. It is sometimes possible to submit Second Appeal after this 90 day period, provided that Information Commission allows it. If the commission is satisfied that you could not file the appeal in time because of some unavoidable reasons like you were travelling for work or something like that.

There is no specified time limit for the Information Commission to decide on an appeal.

However, best practices support deadline of 30-45 days to dispose of any appeal just like it is for the Appellate Authorities.

Can I file the Second Appeal under RTI Act 2005 before 30 days period also if the information sought is very urgent?

RTI Act Prescribes time limit under which the reply need to be given by Public Information Officer.

For PIO to reply to application: 30 days from date of receipt of application

For PIO to transfer to another PA under Sec 6(3): 5 days from date of receipt of application

For PIO to issue notice to 3rd Party: 5 days from date of receipt of application

For 3rd Party to make a representation to PIO: 10 days from receipt of notice from PIO

For PIO to reply to application if 3rdParty involved : 40 days from date of receipt of application

For applicant to make First Appeal: 30 days from date of receipt of PIO’s reply or from date when reply was to be received

For First Appellate Authority to pass an order: 30 days from receipt of First Appeal OR Maximum 45 days, if reasons for delay are given in writing

For applicant to make Second Appeal before CIC/SIC: 90 days from receipt of First Appeal orders or from the date when orders were to be received

Is it necessary to wait for 45 days to file the Second Appeal under Right to Information Act 2005 after filing the first appeal or we can file it after 30 days also?

If you do not get the reply from the first appellate authority within 30 days,then you may have to wait for expiry of the grace period of another 15 days, i.e., total 45 days before filing the second appeal.
