RTI application by register post

How do I now submit the application addessed to PIO? How the Fee is to be paid -in cash or by postal order? Do i get some receipt from the post master? I would like to explore this option. Pl advice.

Prepare the RTI application.  Hand it over to the post office (without enveloping )so as  to verify the correctness of the PIO addressed therin. After confirming the PIO over  net, a sum of Rs.10/- would be demanded for pasting the   fee receipt on the application.The same would be pasted on your application  in your presence ( a duplicate receipt for the fees would also be handed over to you) and the post office would send it directly to the PIO in regd.post with the covering letter in the Post office letter head, and the copy of the same would be sent to your address. In this process, you are relieved of the charges for the regd post and  the strain of tracing an envelope,gum,and quing for registering it .Moreover you are rest assured that the application has been safely sent tothe addressee at Government's cost.The applicant is rest assured  that the RTI application is sent to the addressee.  in a foolproof manner. 

Dear Isaac

Yes it works. Post offixce at Tirulmalgerry, Sec'bad has accepted my application with 10 Rupee postal orders payable to the office of PIO. Rest all are same as stated . It has saved me from lots of harassment besides saving a substantial amount of money on registered posts.

Thanks once again. I suggest this point be well circulated to all RTI info seekers .

Dear Mandal,Thnks for the feed back.You ought not to have enclosed the Postal order.Instead if you pay Rs.10/-in cash being the RTI fee the post office would have issued receipt for it.Here you have lost ten rupees though you have abide by the instructions. At least in future pay the fees in cash and the RTI application. The Postal Dept., has issued clear instructions to this effect.We, citizens should avail the facilities and save the hard earned money.

Dear Sri Isaac

Net results following the procedures recommended by you in this forum- I have paid only Rs 10 as RTI appl fee for each appl and deposited with the post master Trimulgherry, Secunderabad , AP -500015 last month. Thus I saved Rs 5 on each appl. It was delivered by the postal department to the respective PIO with intimation to me. It was like sending Regd post which costs Rs 30 per post. Thus I saved Rs 30 on Regd post per appl. I have received replies wrong untruthful or otherwise from the PIO/CPIOs against each of my RTI appl submitted through post office. Hitherto I was sending those appl with Rs 10 postal order on an envelope of Rs 5 and Rs 3 per three on UPCs. It was appx 60 % hits as some of the offices were not replying and the correspondence with the postal deptt on that issue was cumbersome . I like to put my appreciation to you on record.

Now I wish to go one step further- In one of the reply namely from RTI CELL Army Headquarters against my Appl dated 11 Aug 2011 I have just recd a reply stating , I quote "1.  Ref your-----dated 4 Aug recd at this ofice on 11 Aug 2011. Info ----is ready for provisioning.2.  Info can collected by you personally or it can be forwarded by post.Please intimate the desired option.3. If you choose to have info by post kindly forward a postal order in favour of --------for providing the inrormation. The break down of the information material charges as follows:- (a) Info material charges ----Rs 4 (b)  Regd postal charges ---Rs 30. --4.  Incase you desire to collect the info personally--------. 5.  Info will be provided to you on receipt of info material charges.  6. The add of First appellate ----. xx 

I would like to know :

Whether two pages of material charges was not covered in Rs 10 RTI fee paid? 

Second If I choose to get the info material by ordinary post is there a possibility that info will not be delivered at all ? 

Can I ask the CPIO to submit the info material to the nearest post office at delhi addressed to me and the info is delivered by the postal auth doubly ensured.

In gist I would like to save that Rs 30 on the Regd postal charges but at same time to ensure that info is delivered to me .

Pl advice what should be my most appropriate action in this case?

Regards 

Thanks for the feed back.The procedure is for sending the RTI application.For getting the informaion, the requisite fee has to be paid by the applicasnt as per the act.Your suggestion for transmitting the reply  to the applicant by the PIO   in the same procedure  also could be made to the Government,
