As per §7(3) of the RTI Act 2005, you may need to pay an additional fee for seeking additional information. The fee should be reasonable and as per the prescribed rates.

You don't need to pay an additional fee for seeking additional information. The initial fee of ₹10 is sufficient.

The additional fee payment depends on the public authority. You should contact the PIO for more information.
