Seeking Information from SEBI under RTI

[ankush77]

I have to gain some information from SEBI under RTI. I am residing in Amritsar, so how do I pay the fees of Rs. 10/- to them.

SEBI wesbite link i.e. http://www.sebi.gov.in/Index.jsp?contentDisp=RTIAct

On this page all kind of information is available but its not mentioned anywhere that to whom is the DD or Banker's cheque to be favoured.

However, I am bit conversant with the fact that I can pay the fees at any SBI branch in cash and attach receipt along with my application to them, but then, In which account should I deposit the money? What is the Account name and what is the account number?

Kindly guide me about this.

Thanks

Why don't you call up the PIO (whose details are given) and ask him ?

Alternatively, please send email to: sebi at sebi.gov.in and ask for this.

If you get the name in whose favour you have to pay the D/D or B/C, please post it here so that other members and guests are also benefited by this information.

I did so, but the office was closed. So, I thought of asking it in the forum here. I will call tomorrow now and ask them.

See SEBI's RTI webpage: http://www.sebi.gov.in/Index.jsp?contentDisp=RTIAct

The content of the above page I regard as reliable. It states clearly how to make an application, to whom to make your Rs. 10 payable, etc. Please note that SEBI has been willing to accept RTI applications on email (the SEBI webpage is silent about this) or fax too, with a covering letter indicating how you will pay your Rs. 10. Once they get the Rs. 10 they will give you an acknowledgment. Best,

Thanks Murgie.

I reproduce the relevant section below:

You could send your request by post accompanied by the application fee of Rs.10/- payable by demand draft or bankers cheque favouring Securities and Exchange Board of India. The fee can also be paid in cash along with the application.

However, I want to point out that this bit of information is under the section HOW DO I SEND MY APPLICATION ? rather than the sectionFEE / COST TO GET THE INFORMATION
This would have avoided all the confusion/doubts.,
