As per the attached GO issued by the Government of AP, Rs 5 Lakhs have been sanctioned for Membership Fee and another Rs 1.00 lakh for Annual fee for the first year. Members will recall that a sub-committee of various Information Commissioners had presented a report on various aspects of the implementation of RTI Act and status in 2009.
