letter No. 1/5/2011-IR Dated 10thJuly, 2015 expressing the need for
Harmonization of RTI (Fee & Cost) Rules and Appeal Procedure Rules under
Right to Information Act, 2005.

Rules, 2012 dated 31.7.2012. While drafting the RTI Rules, 2012, it was
stipulated that once notified, the State Governments would be requested to

implementation of the RTI Act throughout the country. However,few States have
not yet harmonized their fee rules with that of the Central Government.

authorities mentioned in the letter to review their Right to Information (Fee
