Huge differences in application fees

The Issue

There is a huge difference in the application fees of competitive exams, specially in banking, railways and CAT. For instance, SBI PO/Clerk the exam fees for GEN and OBC is 750/- and for SC/ST its between 125-150. Similarly in IBPS PO/Clerk, OBC/GEN has to pay 600/- where SC/ST has to pay 100 only.

I want this huge difference to be reduced or everybody has to pay an equal amount, atleast, for filling the application form, so we can have an average amount between 100 and 600. I know there are many people like my GEN friends who are not capable of spending such a huge amount for each form, and due to this they lack to appear in exams and lose their opportunities. We fill one form in 600/- and STs/STs fill 6 forms with the same amount.
