What is the RTS deadline for Maharashtra certificates?
As stipulated by the RTS Act, there is a stipulated period within which the office is required to authorize a service. The standard revenue certificates in this regard can be ascertained online.
| Certificate | RTS time limit |
|---|---|
| Income certificate | 15 days |
| Age, nationality and domicile certificate | 15 days |
| Caste certificate | 45 days |
What Happens When the Deadline Passes?
The time period for this is stated in working days, starting from the point of complete submission. As soon as the time period elapses without a decision made, the RTS Act provides for an appeal, which is a core purpose of this law.
What if your application is delayed or rejected?
If you missed the deadline to appeal or if your application was denied without any reason, you can still appeal the ruling without hiring a lawyer. Moreover, you can make use of the Aaple Sarkar online facility to file the appeal. The RTS Act has specified the two levels at which appeals can be made against a given certificate.
Who Do You Appeal To for Each Certificate?
If you require an income certificate, you will first need to appeal to the Tahsildar and then to the Sub Divisional Officer. For both the age, nationality, and domicile certificate, your first appeal is to the Sub Divisional Officer, and your second to the Additional Collector. With regard to your caste certificate application, your first appeal must be to the Additional Collector, followed by the Collector. Information on problems pertaining to such certificates can also be found in our government ID and certificate guides and the grievance pages of the Government of Maharashtra.
