+===== 10 RTI questions =====
+  - Muster-roll entries.
+  - NREGAsoft upload status.
+  - FTO reference.
+  - Aadhaar / NPCI log.
+  - Technical-evaluation status.
+  - Job-card status.
+  - Section 13 compensation.
+  - Rozgar Sevak contact.
+  - BPO contact.
+  - FAA contact.
+===== What happens next =====
+  * **Day 0–10** RTI routed.
+  * **Day 10–20** BPO + Rozgar Sevak reconcile muster-roll; wages often credited within this window.
+  * **Day 30** Reply mandatory.
+===== Common mistakes =====
+  * Not quoting job-card number.
+  * Missing Rozgar Sevak copy.
+  * Skipping Section 13 compensation claim.
+  * Filing in English in a Hindi-only rural block office — slower.
+===== Pro tips =====
+  * **Social audit** — pair RTI with the MGNREGA mandatory social audit Gram Sabha.
+  * **Compensation under Section 13** — 0.05% of wage per day of delay; often ignored; claim it.
+  * **Job-card suspension** — a re-verification camp usually clears it.
+  * **For bulk-village issues** (e.g., entire panchayat's wages held), collective RTI via Gram Sabha strengthens the case.
+===== FAQs =====
+**Q1. Within how many days should wages be credited?**\\ 15 days of muster-roll closure (Section 3(3), MGNREGA Act).
+**Q2. Do I get compensation for delay?**\\ Yes under Section 13 — 0.05% per day. Ask in Question 7.
+**Q3. Can I get work restored if job card is suspended?**\\ Via the re-verification process. RTI extracts the suspension ground.
+**Q4. NREGAsoft vs local muster-roll — which is canonical?**\\ The muster-roll (physical) is the primary record; NREGAsoft must match.
+===== Conclusion =====
+MGNREGA delays are usually recordable. RTI makes the delay visible and invokes Section 13 compensation.
