Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish term-by-term or year-by-year tuition amounts in its publicly accessible materials for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. The school's CBSE mandatory-disclosure section lists a fee-structure PDF but numeric tuition entries were not available for extraction. No per-term or per-grade fee amounts can be stated because the fee schedule itself is not available in the published documents retrieved.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment of fees is required as a formal step of the admission process (payment occurs during the admission/acceptance step). Admissions open in December for the session that begins in March; the admission process includes payment of fees as part of confirmation. Exact billing dates, term deadlines, and installment schedules are not published in accessible materials.

Boarding fees (where applicable)
- Bodhi International School operates with hostel facilities and describes itself with day-boarding and hostel options; however, no published boarding/hostel fee amounts or boarding-package breakdowns are available in the school's public fee documents for 2026/27 or 2025/26.

Other costs and typical supplementary fees
- The school maintains pages and links for ancillary services (for example, Dining & Menu) and provides an online payment portal, which indicates that additional charges for meals, dining, and likely transport, uniforms, textbooks and co-curricular/activity fees may apply.

Fee payment options
- The school provides an online fee-payment facility that redirects to a hosted payment gateway (HDFC SmartHub). This indicates parents may pay fees online through the school's payment portal; the portal redirect shows a bank/gateway integration. No explicit list of additional accepted methods (for example: specific credit-card types, net-banking, cheque, ECS/NEFT) with fee-related surcharges is published in the accessible materials.

Summary of findings (brief):
- A formal school fee-structure file is referenced in the CBSE mandatory-disclosure section, and the admission pages show payment is completed during admission and that an online payment gateway is used. The school's public pages and linked documents that were retrievable do not contain numeric fee amounts (application fees, per-term tuition, boarding charges, uniform or transport charges) nor a published refund schedule for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year; therefore no specific monetary figures can be provided.
