Many everyday problems are solved by one well-written application to the right office: a complaint to the police, a letter to the BMC ward office, a request to a housing society, or an RTI application. An application drafted in an orderly way, addressed to the correct officer and backed by the right papers, is easier for the office to act on and leaves a clear record if the matter later goes further.
Applications this covers
- Police: a written complaint to a police station, a complaint to a senior police officer where the station has not acted, and applications about cyber fraud or a frozen bank account
- BMC and civic bodies: complaints to the ward office about unauthorised construction, leakage, nuisance or encroachment
- Housing societies: letters to the managing committee about transfer of a flat, share certificates, repairs or dues
- RTI: applications and first appeals under the Right to Information Act
- Government departments: representations, appeals and stay applications, including appeals to Mantralaya against licence suspensions
- Banks, employers and service providers: formal complaints, requests and replies
- Family matters: applications by senior citizens for maintenance, and requests for certified copies of court orders
- Affidavits and undertakings to be filed with an application
What to bring
- A short, dated account of what happened and what you want the office to do
- Copies of any earlier letters, complaint numbers, notices or replies
- Supporting papers: bills, photographs, messages, agreements, identity proof
- The name and address of the office, if you know it
How it works
- Drafted for you, signed by you: the application is drafted in your name for you to sign and submit, or sent on your behalf where that is appropriate.
- Language: applications can be drafted in Marathi or English. Consultations are in English, Hindi, Marathi and Urdu.
- Acknowledgement: always submit two copies and get the second one stamped with the date and inward number. That stamped copy is your proof.
- Follow-up: if the office does not act, the next step is usually a reminder, an RTI application asking what action was taken, or a complaint to the senior officer.
