Thaks for this table Dr Geer. Yes, the amount is hefty for JK, but I think it could be because JK enjoys some privileges which other states don't.AnupamaFrom: Dr Geer M Ishaq <ishaqgeer@...>Subject: Re: What does RTI mean for the patients?netrum Date: Wednesday, 6 July, 2011, 12:17 PM

Dear Dr Anupama:

Yes it can be done provided one has sufficient time which sadly I don't have at present. It must be already available somewhere on the web,I guess, you need to do a thorough search.

A PDF file is available on the official website of J & K State Information Commission that gives key features of the RTI Act in table form. You can take print outs of each table and fix them on a poster and then display it wherever you want. Please vist "RTI in table form" section on the website: http://jksic.nic.in

However it may be noted that J & K has its own RTI Act of 2009 and some of the provisions shown in these tables are different from central RTI Act of 2005. For example, here the application fee is Rs. 50 as against Rs. 10 at centre and photocopying fee is Rs 10 per page (which is quite hefty and unreasonable) as against Rs. 1 at centre.

With Regards

Dr Geer M Ishaq

You must be joking Dr Anupama. What has RTI application fee to do with so-called "other privileges", you seem be going out of context.
