+Result-declaration delay is a chronic grievance — boards, universities, recruitment commissions.
+</WRAP>
+===== Why this RTI works =====
+Result-declaration delay is a chronic grievance — boards, universities, recruitment commissions. RTI compels disclosure of evaluation status, file movement, and the reason for delay. Most delays resolve within 7-15 days of RTI notice.
+===== Legal framework =====
+  * **RTI Act, 2005** §6, §7(1), §4(1)(b)(xii) (proactive disclosure of beneficiaries / scheme).
+  * **Conducting body's own statute** (e.g., CBSE Examination Bye-Laws, university statutes, SSC Notification of Examination).
+  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — answer-sheets and evaluation records are 'information' under §2(f).
+  * **ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (SC, 2011)** — examining body has fiduciary duty BUT to candidate's own record; disclosure to candidate himself is not breach.
+===== RTI template — copy & file =====
+<code>
+To:
+The Public Information Officer (PIO),
+[Office name + address].
+Subject: RTI under §6 — Exam Result Delay query
+Sir/Madam,
+Under the RTI Act, 2005, kindly provide:
+. Current status of evaluation of [EXAM NAME] held on [DATE], Roll No. [NUMBER].
+. Reason for delay beyond the announced result date of [DATE].
+. Total candidates appeared, evaluated so far, and pending.
+. Date of next moderation committee meeting.
+. Tentative date of result declaration.
+. PIO + FAA contact for [BOARD/UNIVERSITY NAME].
+Rs. 10 IPO enclosed.
+Yours faithfully,
+[Name]
+[Address + phone + email]
+[Date]
+</code>
+===== Escalation timeline =====
+  * **Day 31** — First Appeal to FAA.
+  * **Day 76** — Second Appeal to CIC (central body) / SIC (state board).
+  * **Parallel** — Board's Citizen Charter complaint cell.
+  * **Parallel** — Writ in High Court if delay is unconscionable (>60 days beyond announced).
+===== Case law anchors =====
+  * **CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay (SC, 2011)** — Answer-sheets are 'information' — disclosure to candidate is mandatory.
+  * **ICAI v. Shaunak Satya (SC, 2011)** — Examining-body fiduciary duty does not bar disclosure to candidate himself.
+  * **Kendriya Vidyalaya v. CIC (Delhi HC, 2013)** — Internal evaluation records of school exams are RTI-disclosable.
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Asking 'why is result delayed' — vague. Ask for evaluation status + tentative declaration date.
+  * Filing to wrong PIO — must be conducting body's PIO, not the school/college.
+  * Forgetting Roll No / EID — without it the body cannot trace your record.
+===== Frequently asked questions =====
+==== Will RTI accelerate my result? ====
+Not directly. But it forces the body to declare a tentative date, which most candidates achieve within 15 days.
+==== Can I ask for a recheck before result? ====
+Recheck request is governed by the body's bye-laws — typically opens 7-15 days post-result.
