Dear Sirs,
Payment of Other
Charges on RTIONLINE Portal –DOFSR/R/2016/50439
Vide attached intimation dated 16-03-2016 I have been
advised to deposit Rs.4/- towards other charges payable to CPIO, Dept of
Financial Services, MoF. I am yet to receive information in hard copy or online
or by email from CPIO presumably for non-payment of Rs.4/-.
I could not make payment of Rs.4/- on RTIONLINE portal
since there was no link of “make payment” for additional payment at intimation
of above CPIO, though it provides for such a link as per page 16 of guidelines
[page attached]. I tried bharatkhajana.gov.in [NTRP] but could not succeed in
paying Rs.4/- [page attached]. Post Offices have discontinued IPOs below
Rs.10/-. Bank DD may cost Rs.20/- or so as minimum commission for DD of Rs.4/-
plus postal charges of Rs.25/- for mailing DD. I cannot visit DFS, MoF at New
Delhi for paying Rs.4/- in cash from Junagadh Gujarat. CPIO may not accept IPO
of Rs.10/-. E-IPO is issued for minimum of Rs.10. I am enclosing with this
email e-IPO for Rs.10/-. Use of paper for paying Rs.4 will affect trees and
environment. I hope Digital India initiative is being implemented by MoF also.
I draw kind attention to CIC decision No. CIC/SA/A/2015/000743
dated 27-04-2015 [copy attached]. I have witnessed that many citizen centric
and pro-RTI public authorities do not insist for petty other charges [even up
to Rs.50/-] for supplying information within mandated time-limit.
I
humbly request CPIO, FAA and NIC to activate make payment link on RTIONLINE
portal so that I can make payment of exact Rs.4/- by debit card or
alternatively accept e-IPO [attached to
email] for Rs.10/-. I will not be claiming excess of Rs.6/-. I will be
again attempting payment of Rs.4/- on bharatkhajana portal by debit card,
though it is complicated especially to non-tech savvy senior citizen like me.
Please
inform me when link is activated so that I can make payment of exact Rs.4/-.
The information is in larger public interest since there could be VYAPAM or
Haryana [teacher recruitment scam] type scams in banking recruitments at IBPS
[presently outside RTI Act]. I can proceed further only on receipt of requested
information which is held up presumably for non-payment of Rs.4/-.
In
case CPIO and FAA, DFS respect opinion of CIC in aforesaid decision, they may
choose to forward me information without payment of Rs.4/- by taking holistic
view in the interest of Govt and citizens.
