    deposit of fees

    i have a querry on RTI the information asked for was refused by CPIO, the appellate committe also upheld the decision of CPIO thereafter the CIC has asked the Public Authority to supply the information. My question is whether it is justified and legallly correct that the public authority is asking the applicant to deposit the fees for photocopy of the documents

    Dear Satish Rao,

    The answer to your query is YES. It is justified and legally correct on the part of the public authority to ask the applicant to deposit fees for photocopy of the documents.

    For full details on the fee structure, please refer to the FAQ (frequently asked questions) section in this web site.

    You have not informed, the time gap between the time of your application and the time the CPIO has asked you to deposit the fee. If this time gap is more than 30 days, then the public authority has no right to ask you to deposit the fee. Please check sub-section 6 of Section 7 of the RTI Act 2005 which clearly states

    [LEFT][/LEFT]

    <CENTER><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=7 width=463 border=1><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top height=48>(6) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (5), the person making request for the information shall be provided the information free of charge where a public authority fails to comply with the time limits specified in sub-section (1).
    </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></CENTER>
    Therefore if more than 30 days have been passed, the CPIO cannot ask you to pay. In case you have already paid the amount, you can make another appeal either to the AA or the CIC asking for full refund.
