Dear Niladri
Who is the "Sanju" you refer to and why should members of this group follow this garbage advice based on flawed empirical data ?
What is to prevent someone in the public authority filching the IPO, filling in his (false) name and getting it encashed ? IPOs are not used only for the Rs.10 application fee but also for the further fees which may be very substantial. If you go through the records of this group you will find many instances of blank IPOs being returned by PIOs.
When there is a straight way - prescribed in law for using IPOs - ie sending an IPO made out to the "Accounts Officer" of the Public Authority - you must make out a very strong case for advising against it.
