This is a complex issue, as the existing schemes do not necessarily cover them due to various reasons."
A house is the most important place in one’s life. With this vision, Aashika is not fulfilling just her own dream, but the dreams of many. "The idea is to mobilize resources so that we can provide an all-weather roof to all residents in the district," she says.

Time to abolish Income tax offices
There is a very strong case to abolish Income tax offices in India. Collection is automatic and through computerized system. There is a very high cost of collection of Income tax. There are too many officials manning positions. Now that these ITOs are computerized, there is a case for downsizing this department. The whole set up can be run with skeletal staff.

Payment of fee for application to be considered as valid
The PIO submitted before the CIC that the instant RTI Application was filed without payment of the requisite fee and therefore, the same was treated as incomplete. On being asked by the CIC to provide any proof regarding the fee paid by him towards the instant RTI Application, the Complainant failed to furnish any proof for the same. The CIC observed that the Complainant has lodged the instant RTI Application without payment of the requisite fee and the same has also been informed to the Complainant by the PIO. Hence, the CIC held that the present petition is not maintainable being infructuous.
Comments
An applicant must adhere to the essentials of the RTI Act and not only pay the required application fee, but also retain the proof of payment of fee.
