Just wanted to fine tune the concept for further research by our members. The applicant submits his RTI request the the CAPIO of Postal Dept and makes the e-payment for fee to account of any registered "biller" where it will be consolidated to P/A's account.
http://www.indiapost.gov.in/netscape/epayment.html I again want to clarify that the DopT cannot exclude by Rules the FORM of payment into a P/As account. The Act's twin requirements are a) The fee must be "prescribed" - which as we know is Rs. 10 for the application b) The payment (receipt) must ACCOMPANY the request.
