    Question Charges for the scanned copies

    I want an information in the scanned format on the CD what charges I have to Pay.
    Only Rs. 50/- for the CD
    or
    Rs 50/- for the Cd plus charges for the total pages included in the CD.
    i.e, Rs. 50+ (Rs. 2/- * No. of pages).

    The Law states that the actual cost should be charged, but the concerned CPIO will inform you how much should be deposited. The law has given flexibility for fixing the rate to each organization.

    In my view charges for information provided in CDs is Rs. 50.
    In this case the information is originally not available in digital format therefore the demand of Scanning Charges appears to be in spirit with RTI - Regulation of Fee and Cost Rules, 2005

    I found this at RTI India itself

    http://www.rtiindia.org/download/p13...1/p13_fileid/5

    However, scanning an article will divulge the public resource, so it might not be provided, instead printed form be supplied. The matter I know is that, if the information is available in computer generated form, then it has to be supplied as CD. It's not in spirit with CIC decisions, which says that it should be provided in the form in which it is available and cannot be generated. Thus scanning and then supplying the information is not workable. So Maneesh, I think point of scanning doesnot arise.

    If he really needs the CD copy after scanning, he can actually get a photocopy which will atleast save 50/- and then get it scanned. I think there is not need of application of Fees rules here. Simple.

    I agree with RTI INDIA Administrator, that the PIO are empowered to decide about the rate of photocopy himself that is actual

    That is correct in my view too! If the information is not online, why should the public authority get that scanned. Further, you can get the information and get it scanned which might only cost you energy than money
