Using Post Offices to Submit RTI Applications

From: C N Kumar
Friends,
I wanted to send an RTI application to the Railways and the Civil Aviation Department both of which are based outside Bangalore and are under the Central Government.
I remembered what Mr Veeresh Malik had told me earlier and did the following:
1. I went to the GPO along with my RTI application which had the name and full address of the PIO and remitted a sum of Rs 10 to account UCR-miscellaneous ( Unclassified Receipts- Miscellaneous). You can do this at any designated head post office.
2. I affixed the receipt for Rs 10 to the RTI application and handed it into the APIO at GPO.
3. She acknowledged my application and has agreed to send me a copy of the letter forwarding my application.
4. The application will be sent free by the P&T Department by registered post.
I thought I would share this with you so that you can adopt the procedure.
Best regards
C N
