Billing schedule and payment terms

- Composite annual fees (tuition) are chargeable for the class/course year and may be paid in any of the offered instalment patterns: half‑yearly (2 instalments), quarterly (4 instalments) or monthly equated instalments (normally 12). For Nursery the composite tuition is payable in 12 equated monthly instalments as shown. The college allows parents to select and pay multiple months together using the online fee portal. Late payment penalty is expressly noted as INR 100 per day after the 15th of the month. For Class X and Class XII the school applies a 10‑month instalment schedule (fees payable in 10 equal monthly instalments).
- Fees payable at the time of admission (one‑time sums) must be paid online through the admission/fee portal during the admission process; a receipt is generated online on successful payment and a Unique College Personal Number (5 digits) is issued and must be used for future payments and dealings.
- If a pupil is admitted as a resident scholar (boarding), an imprest amount for resident scholars (generally INR 10,000) is collected at admission; pocket money amounts for the year are also collected as indicated for the class. These amounts are shown as refundable as per the rules in the fee charts.

Boarding fees and boarding‑related charges

- Annual boarding charge (shown as an ‘annual optional fee' for resident scholars) is class‑dependent. Examples: Classes I–IV annual boarding charge shown approx. INR 218,050; Classes V–VIII approx. INR 218,150; Classes IX–X approx. INR 218,250; Class XI–XII approx. INR 220,050. The boarding total (Composite tuition + Boarding charge) therefore ranges (by class) from roughly INR 324,200 up to INR 327,500 per year. Imprest for resident scholars is shown at INR 10,000 and pocket money is billed by class (examples shown range from INR 5,700 up to INR 11,400).
- At admission time boarding candidates are also asked to pay the imprest and pocket money amounts; these are refundable as per the school's rules and the provisions of the Fee Regulation Act.

Other recurring and optional costs

- Pocket money (collected at admission for resident scholars) varies by class (examples in the published chart: INR 5,700 for early primary, INR 7,600 for some middle classes, INR 11,400 for higher classes). Imprest amounts for resident scholars typically INR 10,000.
- Day‑boarding optional charge (where applicable) appears as a separate annual optional fee on the ‘day‑boarder' fee charts (amounts for new day‑boarding admissions are shown as an annual optional fee in the published fee charts; the new‑admission day‑boarding chart also shows an annual optional day‑boarding charge of INR 100,000 for certain new admission schedules).
- Uniforms and uniform items are compulsory; the published admission materials specify the approved uniform vendor and designs (uniform purchases are handled separately through the approved supplier and are additional to school fees). The school's admission documents identify the vendor for summer uniform as S. Kumar's (uniform coordinate details provided in admission instructions). Exact uniform prices are payable to the supplier at purchase.

Refunds, deposits and withdrawals

- Fees once paid are generally non‑refundable in case of withdrawal of the pupil, except for refundable deposits such as Caution Money / Security Deposit and specified refundable imprest amounts. Refundable deposits are to be refunded with interest or as per the provisions of the applicable Fee Regulation Act and school rules. Pocket money and imprest balances are refundable as per rules. The Annual Examination fee and the non‑refundable portion of the admission fee are not refunded.

Fee payment process and options

- All admission and fee payments are collected via the school's online admission/fee portal during the admission and fee payment processes; parents are prompted through links on the portal and an online receipt is generated when payment is made. The published notices instruct parents to use the portal and the issued personal number for online payments and records. The fee charts also permit selection of payment periodicity (monthly/quarterly/half‑yearly) within the portal. The school's documents do not list an itemised public menu of every external payment instrument in the fee chart text; payments are handled through the portal flow.

Late payment / penalties

- Late fee is specified: INR 100 per day charged after the 15th of every month for delayed instalments. Parents are expected to ensure timely payment of chosen instalments.
