Dear Group, 1) section 6(1) r/w 27 makes it clear that the appropriate govt can only prescribe the AMOUNT of the fee and NOT the mode of transmission of the fee - which does not preclude transmitting money electronically despite the absence of rules.
2) So you should send an email to the PIO asking for the BANK particulars and A/c head / sub-head of the P/A etc. to enable you to transfer funds into their account using netbanking / RTGS / NEFT / SWIFT etc, or even a direct cash deposit into their account using the nearest CBS enabled branch near you.
