The fee clock under §7(3) of the RTI Act 2005 refers to the time limit for responding to an RTI application. The fee payment is not directly affected by the fee clock, but it's essential to ensure that the fee is paid correctly to avoid delays in processing the application.

The fee clock is not relevant to the fee payment. You should focus on paying the correct fee and ensuring that your application is complete and accurate.

The fee clock affects the fee payment. If the PIO fails to respond within the time limit, the fee is waived off.
