ICSI (also ICAI) charging Rs. 500 for certified copies is illegal : Supreme Court
As per a recent judgment of the Supreme Court in ICSI v. Paras Jain [Civil Appeal No. 5665/2014, dated 11-4-2019], the High Court held that educational Bodies cannot charge more than RTI fee for providing certified copies to students. The RTI Fee as per RTI Rules, 2012 read with RTI Act, 2005 is Rs. 10 fixed per application + Rs. 2 per page. Hence, charging of Rs. 500 or Rs. 1000 per copy is illegal.
Example : Suppose, a student has written 20 pages. Hence, he can be asked to pay only Rs. 50 (Rs. 10 for application + Rs. 2 per page × 20 pages = Rs. 50).
