• B. 30 days
• C. 45 days
• D. 60 days

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the time limit for disposing of an RTI application:
1. Under the Right to Information Act, 2005 (Section 7), a public authority is generally required to dispose of an RTI application within 30 days from the date of receipt.
2. Exceptions allow up to 45 days for cases involving third-party information, but the standard limit is 30 days.
3. The other options do not match the general statutory provision.
Therefore, the correct answer is (2) 30 days.
