Nursery blues over fee refund

NEW DELHI: With the first admission list out, it's time for parents to secure a seat for their child. However, many parents are in a fix as different schools are toeing different norms for fee refund, in case the admission is withdrawn.

"My son has been selected in a school that is 5 km away from our home. Therefore, we are more interested in finding him a seat at a nearby school. We are just wondering if it will be wise to book a seat in the first school and wait for the second list in the other school to come out. However, the management of the school is not coming clean on how much money will be refunded," said Anjana Bhardwaj, a parent from Vasant Kunj.

Another school, DPS Mathura Road, has specified on its website that if the child is withdrawn later, only the caution money will be refunded. "Please carry Rs 40,000 as advance which will be adjusted towards admission fee, caution money (Rs 500), tuition fee for 3 months (April-June 2012) and bus fee. Please note that in case of withdrawal or the student not joining after admission, only caution money will be refunded," states a circular posted on the school website.

This means that the school will refund only Rs 500 out of nearly Rs 40,000 paid as fee under various heads. According to the school principal, M I Hussain, such a policy is being followed to discourage students from withdrawing admission later.

"If people have applied for admission, they must have taken a conscious decision. They should think twice before paying the fee. Why should they withdraw after document verification and securing a seat?" said Hussain. "This has been our policy. However, if the directorate of education has any guideline on this, we will abide by it," he added.

According to DoE guidelines issued last year, a school can retain only the admission fee, registration fee and the tuition fee of only one month if the child withdraws within one month of the date of admission. Same guidelines are being followed this year too.(Mr Vohra Said)

"DoE guidelines on fee refund are quite clear. If a child withdraws admission before March 31, only admission fee of Rs 200 and Rs 25 as registration fee can be retained by a school," explained L V Sehgal, principal, Bal Bharati Public School, Ganga Ram Hospital Marg.

DOE FEE REFUND POLICY

@ V sahni yes its same

DPS is not the only one. I can tell you many school are doing the same...i personally have seen it in  Apeejay Saket, Sheik Saria, Amity International Saket, Bhatnagar International Vasant kunj. In addition to the above the school are also not sharing the fees breakup.

BGS international school, Dwarka is also doingthe same.

I got my child seat reserved in DAV Pushpanjali...

Even in DAV Pushpanjali, Pitampura has taken 12000 as admission charges and they say they will refund only Rs. 500. (they gave a receipt though)

yes today i got admitted my daughter at DAV Surajbhan and its clearly mentioned on the receipt that in case of withdrawl they will refund only Rs.500.Is anybody from DOE taking note of all this?

Yes after Mr Vohra Highlighted in Times of India Today .DOE will Be Alert now ,it was On Page 3 .No One can have excuse of missing it

And what can be done if they are taking it in the name of a charitable trust?? Like Maxfort is taking 73500/- (40k in name of charitable trust and 33500 in name of the school).

Hi Sakshi. Please reply to my query

If you give in  cash or in name of any other fund ,it wont be refunded

I agree and let' s see what shapes up .. I have been to various schools and schools have even  refused to share the fee break up details .... and they do not even comment on refund guidelines .. just say that our management have not decided that .. All DAV's have clearly mentioned that no fees will be refunded .. to be precise DAV's of eat delhi .. i.e Mausam , Dayanand and Shrestha Vihar ....
