| + | ===== The Information Commission ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Manipur State Information Commission** is the authority constituted under Section 15 of the Right to Information Act, 2005 for Manipur. It hears second appeals under Section 19(3) and complaints under Section 18 relating to public authorities under the Government of Manipur. | ||

| + | |||
| + | * **The Right to Information Act, 2005** — the Central Act applies across India, including in Manipur. | ||
| + | * **State rules under Section 27 of the Act** — Manipur has notified its own rules covering the form of application, | ||
| + | * **Second-appeal procedure rules** — procedure before the State Information Commission for second appeals under Section 19(3) and complaints under Section 18. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Fee structure ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Application fees in Manipur are typically **Rs 10** per application. **BPL applicants** are exempt on production of a valid ration card or certificate. Copies of records are charged per page at the rate specified in the rules. The fee may be paid by Indian Postal Order, demand draft, cash at the PIO's counter, or through the online portal where available. **Confirm the current fee** against the latest State notification, | ||
