RTI for citizens Right to Information: Re: [rti_india] Postal Order Vs Cout Fee Stamp in RTIs

Simple Answer : NO

Court Fee Stamp is not prescribed by Central Govt.

Postal Order should be payable to "Accounts Officer" of the Public Authority.

N.B. The above is applicable to Central PAs only. Different states
have different modes.
