“Under orders of the Central Information Commission, the Department will issue RTI stamps in the denomination of Rs 10. We will also introduce special counters to accept applications in all 1.5 lakh post offices across the country,” the officer speaking on condition of anonymity, told PTI.

Visitors will no longer have to wait at post offices or face problems in depositing RTI fees, photocopying charges as the CIC directions will be enforced, he said.

He said CIC had also asked Central Government departments to instruct all information officers to accept postal orders, demand drafts and banker’s cheques payable to accounts officers and not reject applications on ‘flimsy grounds’ such as every department incurs Rs 22 towards bank charges and commission to en cash postal orders worth Rs 10.

He said post offices are gearing up to impart adequate training to staff for processing the applications.

Chief Information Commissioner Satyanandan Mishra had issued a series of directions on receipt of a complaint by an information seeker. After deliberating on the pros and cons, suitable orders have been issued to the postal services, he said.
