Dear Students of CA CPT/IPCC/Final n others; 

One can ask for the certified copies of the exams given under RTI Act. The fees for RTI application is Rs10/- and Rs 2 per page as Xerox charges. Our ICAI is charging Rs500 per paper. You can get the certified copies of all your papers at a price lower than Rs500.

Jaago graahak jaago!!!!

Also, ICAI has stipulated that the certified copies will be sent by 75 days (plz correct me). What's the use? You can't evaluate your paper,your mistakes; nor you can apply for reverification(which also is a sham;as retotalling is done).

As per RTI Act, the Public Info. Officer (mandatory for each govt org) has to give the information sought for , within 30 days of receipt of application.

Use the privileges which our Legal System has bestowed upon us.
