Transport / bus charges
- Transport fee (typical): Rs.25,000 per year (annual transport charge). A transport security deposit of Rs.5,000 is charged and identified as refundable. Transport charges are published separately and vary by distance slab.
Other recurring / one-time charges

- Uniforms and stationery: uniform purchases are handled through the school's designated supplier; uniform costs are additional to fees and charged separately at purchase.
- Miscellaneous fees: additional charges may be levied for examinations, external exam registrations, co-curricular activities, transport-specific add-ons, optional camps, special workshops and refundable/non-refundable deposits; these are billed separately. Representative campus documents itemise these components as separate line items.
Refund information
- Transport security deposit: the transport security deposit is shown as refundable where published (example: Rs.5,000 noted as refundable).
- Other refunds (security deposits, pro‑rated refunds on withdrawal, uniform returns, etc.): specific refund terms for deposits and fee refunds are determined by the school's published fee policy and accounts office; published campus documents and fee schedules identify some deposits as refundable but do not publish a single consolidated refund table for every fee component.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Instalment due dates: payable on or before 10 May, 10 August, 10 November and 10 February (four-instalment scheme). Amounts per instalment vary by grade and campus. Late payment consequences and any processing fees follow the school's accounts rules.

Parents may also be able to use other bank transfer options made available by the Accounts Office; the school asks parents to honour the published instalment schedule.
Contact / accounts office for final confirmation
- The school publishes an accounts office contact number for fee clarifications; instalment amounts and applicability (day vs boarding vs transport slabs) are grade- and service-specific and are made available to parents in the official fee schedule and student billing notices.
