Yes you may pay fee through IPO /D.D / Money order/ cash/ non judiaciary stamp/  for getting Copy of required information.

Pls guide.......

1) Under RTI ACT-2005, initially 10 Rs fee with application/querry must be deposited by applicant. But actually If replier have to send reply to the applicant, the cost of postal charges (like courier, Registerred Dak, Speed post etc) also applies. Then this postal charge will be beared by whome ? If by replier.....then Why ?

2) I am central Govt employee, and sometimes govt Orders, Memorandums, circulars, policy letter are not very clear, thats why I asked to Ministry of personnel, public grivences and personnel ( Department of personnel and Training , New-Delhi ) that ...

" I joined Central Govt ( Ministry of Defence, Military engineer Service) as a civian employee as a fresh recruitee on 20-05-2012, when I am eligible to  take LTC,  a)  after 20-05-2012   b) after 01-01-2013   c) after 20-05-2013."

They replied to search in website of Ministry of personnel, public grivences and personnel ( Department of personnel and Training , New-Delhi ).

now I am help-less .  guide please.

I think one need not have to pay for the postal charges (Courier, Registered DAK etc). One need to pay for the photo copies/ CDs etc.
