Fee

The application fee is Rs. 0 for all categories — the advertisement prints a fee of Rs. 0 for General/Male/OBC, Female and SC/ST alike. No payment is required. The same advertisement still prints bank account details for fee deposit and asks for a UTR in the form; this is template boilerplate against a Rs. 0 fee, so do not make any payment.
