The RTI Act does not limit the quantum of pages to be provided free of cost to a BPL Applicant. However, section 7(9) An information shall ordinarily be provided in the form in which it is sought unless it would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority or would be detrimental to the safety or preservation of the record in question. provides for change in the form in which the information is to be provided if it leads to disproportionate diversion of resources.
