No, as long as you are willing to pay for the copies, the PIO has to provide the copies.
What exactly is the information you asked for ?
Did the PIO inform you the number of copies involved ?
How many copies do you think are involved ?

In fact, I demanded some documents from some Govt. Institution carrying certain informations relating to admission, withdrawal of admission and refund of fee.Though, the documents were supplied but these were carrying irrelevant informations (except a few one). In other words, supply of relevant information was avoided by the PIO. Therefore, an appeal was preferred before the I Appeallate authority who in turn replied that the information sought by me was voluminous, hence not supplied and if I wish I could inspect the documents so required. But, only a few of the documents were during inspection and rest were denied for one or the other. Even, supply of copies of documents so inspected was denied at the time of inspection when requested for with the plea that I should make a fresh request to PIO for the same. Later, on taking up the matter time and again, copies of few more documents were supplied but file notings processed by the department against one of my letter was denied saying that my said letter was not received whereas the same was earlier replied by the deptt. As regards number of documents demanded, these could be around 20 (a few more or less). No payment was ever charged or demanded for the documents supplied/yet to be supplied. The matter is now in consumer court where this issue has also been pointed out/brought into notice.

In this case, the contention of the FAA is incorrect.
It is clear that both the PIO and the FAA are trying to avoid provision of information.
Go for Second Appeal for malafide denial of information and incomplete information.

Thanks for responding with proper guidance. A complaint has been filed by me in District consumer forum against the institution concerned for not refunding the full amount of fee on withdrawal of admission by my daughter in which case these documents were also relevant. Being relevant to the case, the forum has also been informed in the complaint about receipt of incomplete documents and denial to supply copies of file notings, demanded under RTI, on the plea that my letter against which the said file notings were supposed to be recorded was not received (although replied earlier).

Since the matter is now pending decision by the learned district forum, would it be, under these circumstances, advisable to
make a second appeal before the appropriate authority till the announcement of the judgment in the above complaint ? I am of the view that I must wait for the judgment to be passed now in the above complaint. Your expert views please ?
