How to apply for certified copy to ICAI in Just Rs. 10/-

CA results always a phobia to our CA students, a CA student takes tension of results more than the examination. Now according to Hon'ble Supereme Court of India, Every student can demand for Answer Sheets under the Right to Information Act/RTI, 2005. Our Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, also provide the certified copy in a Fees of Rs. 500/-, but according to R.T.I. act, we can apply in just Rs.10/-. There is a procedure of how we can get certified copy from ICAI :

 

There is two benefits of RTI over ICAI

1. Cost wise

ICAI’s Regulations: Under ICAI’s regulation you can get the certified copy of the exams. ICAI charges you Rs. 500 per paper.

• Supreme Court of India ruled out that a student can inspect his answer sheet under RTI Act and any by-laws or rules/regulation of Education Board/Examination Board can’t prevent him from doing so.
• You are lucky friends: The fees for RTI application is Rs 10/- and Rs 2 per page as Xerox charges.

Utilize your Rights Friends. Mere 10 Rupees won’t hurt.

2. Time-wise

If you’re applying to ICAI then your certified copies will be sent within 75 days of receipt of application.

Benefit of RTI: As per RTI Act, the Public Information Officer (mandatory for each government organization) has to give the information sought for, within 30 days of receipt of application.

• 45 days before ICAI’s result. Great!!! :D
