- Classes XI–XII (senior secondary): Senior‑secondary fees vary by stream; the school's fee schedule lists stream‑specific ancillary/practical charges for different subject combinations (examples: separate practical/info‑practical charges for Commerce/Humanities/Science combinations and stream variances in annual or development charges). Development and annual charges are charged at similar frequencies (annual or half‑yearly) as for other classes; tuition amounts for senior classes are shown in the published fee schedule and vary by stream.

The school's schedule notes the bus fee is not applicable for the month of June. - Examination / lab / practical charges: Senior classes show additional subject/practical or information‑practical charges depending on stream (these are itemised in the senior‑secondary fee entries). - Uniform, books and stationery: typically charged separately and not included in the monthly tuition figures; uniform and book costs are additional to the fees above (the school's published fee breakdown separates tuition/annual/development charges from costs for uniforms and books).
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is presented on a monthly basis in the published schedule (tuition amounts are shown as a monthly figure and calculated over 12 months for annual totals). Development charges are typically billed half‑yearly; annual charges are billed once per year. - Annual charges are payable in two equal instalments in the months of May and November. - School policies published in the school rules and fee information indicate that fees outstanding after the 20th day of the month may lead to the student being struck off the rolls until arrears and admission re‑formalities are completed. Timely payment is required to retain enrolment.
Boarding / residential fees - No residential/boarding fee line items appear in the school's published fee schedules for St Mark's World School Meera Bagh; transport is shown as a day‑school service. Boarding/residential provision is not itemised in the public fee tables for this campus. (If a boarding option were applicable it would appear as a separate annual/termly boarding charge in the published fee schedule.)
Refunds and cancellation - Admission and registration charges are listed as one‑time charges in the school fee breakdown. The published fee documents and receipts record these items as distinct line items; specific refundable/non‑refundable language for each fee component is not itemised in the publicly published fee tables used above. Parents should note that many schools treat registration/admission fees as non‑refundable; the school's fee receipts separately record payments and pay‑mode details.
Fee payment options and how payments are recorded - The school's fee receipts include a recorded “Pay Mode” field and bank/reference details are captured on receipts, indicating that payments are recorded by mode on official receipts. - Common payment methods used by comparable schools (and reflected on institutional receipts elsewhere) include bank transfer/NEFT/RTGS, demand draft or cheque, and online payment gateway / card payments; the presence of a pay‑mode field on the school's receipts indicates the school records which method was used for each payment. (This is a procedural inference based on published fee receipts and standard practice.)
Late payment and re‑admission - The school's published rules show late payment consequences: students absent from school for a week without permission or whose fees are outstanding after the 20th day of the month may be struck off the rolls and will be re‑admitted only after payment of admission fee and all outstanding dues.
Notes on totals and examples - Published examples in the school's fee tables present a “total cost for a new admission” (first‑year total) that sums one‑time admission/registration, tuition (monthly × 12), annual charges, development charges and other recurring small items; sample totals appear on the published class pages (for example: Nursery first‑year total ₹108,775; Class X total ₹64,220). These example totals use the fee components listed above.
