• Rs 20 State fee — higher than most states. Court-fee stamps (affixed on plain paper) or Demand Draft acceptable; some departments also accept online via e-Nagar or department portals.
• Gujarati filing: §4(3) permits; Gujarati is fully accepted without applicant-side translation.
• iKhedut (https://ikhedut.gujarat.gov.in) is a subsidy/scheme tracking portal for farmers — not a primary RTI route.
• Gujarat's “strong §4” history: many departments maintain good §4(1)(b) disclosure — check first before filing a §6 RTI.
• Gujarat HC pleadings ruling: per Gujarat HC 2019, third-party cannot obtain HC pleadings via RTI — use certified-copies procedure under CPC.
