Four things happen after you start your request
Step 2
We find the right office
The wrong office means a returned application and no refund. We suggest the public authority that holds the records.
Step 3
What it costs
₹10 for a request. Nothing for a first appeal. Nothing at all if you are below the poverty line — attach the certificate and the fee step is skipped.
