Refunds and cancellation - Application fee: non‑refundable (INR 5,000). - Admission fee: the admission fee secures the place; the published schedule explains the split for Early Years entrants (INR 50,000 initially; balance on entry to PYP1) but does not provide a broad refundable‑refund table in the public fee summary. Parents are informed that a student leaving early forfeits the balance of the fees for the quarter in which the student departs. No comprehensive multi‑line refund schedule is published in the public fee summary. Other payment notes and administrative points - All fees are payable to the school's bank accounts in INR; invoices will supply the account and payment instructions. Employers and third‑party arrangements do not remove parental responsibility for payment. The school reserves the right to change the fee structure and to apply published late‑payment charges.
