[rti_india] Postal Order Vs Cout Fee Stamp in RTIs

 


Postal Orders are most convenient forms of payment for such applications .
Regretfully, most of the PAs do not specify in whose favour such IPOs are to
be made out .

Recently I sent a query to Passport Office, Ghaziabad , making the IPO payable to
PIO, Passport Officer

This was returned ( thankfully ! ) with the remarks, some 21 days later, that the
IPO be made payable to Passport Officer .

I feel that the best way to  get around this problem is not to specify the payee's name
on the IPO
