Statement C is incorrect. The Right to Information Act, 2005 and the rules framed thereunder prescribe a nominal application fee for seeking information, except for persons belonging to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category. For Central Government public authorities, the application fee is typically \u20b910. State governments have their own rules regarding the fee, which may vary, but a fee is generally required unless the applicant is BPL.<\/section>\n
A nominal application fee is required under the RTI Act, 2005, unless the applicant is exempted (e.g., BPL). Thus, the statement claiming “no nominal application fee” is false.<\/section>\n
