(a)     Petitions. If a petition is filed without the required fee, without an application to pay in installments (Official Form B103A), and without a request for waiver (Official Form B103B),it is considered deficient and may be dismissed after a hearing on notice pursuant to F.R.B.P. 1017(b)(1).

(b)     Other Filings. The clerk must accept all pleadings for filing regardless of whether the fee required by the bankruptcy court fee schedule is paid.
