Billing schedule and payment terms

- Education/tuition fees are shown on a monthly basis but billed quarterly; tuition and related quarterly charges are payable by the 10th day of every quarter. Annual maintenance charges are payable at the start of the academic year. Late payment fines apply for fees received after the due date.
- All fees for new students, including the registration fee and the relevant term's tuition fees, must be settled prior to enrollment; outstanding fees from previous schools must be cleared before admission is completed.
- If a student is admitted mid‑quarter/session, the education fees and lab fees for that full quarter must be paid in full. Once a student starts attending classes, the Annual Maintenance Charge for the whole year is payable even in case of a mid‑session withdrawal.

Boarding / hostels

- NES International School / SVB's International School Dombivli operates as a day / day‑boarding school. No separate boarding (full‑time residential hostel) fee schedule is published for this campus. Fees for residential boarding are therefore not applicable.

Other charges and one‑off costs

- Admission form cost and registration processing charges as listed above.
- Annual maintenance charge (see above).
- Transport registration fee: ₹500 (one‑time) and monthly transport charges if opted for.
- The school may levy additional charges in specific circumstances, for example a special fee where the school provides a shadow teacher or other specialised learning provisions for a student, or for optional programmes and activities. Textbooks, uniforms, stationery, exam entry fees, excursions and some co‑curricular items are charged separately and are not included in the headline tuition.

Refunds and withdrawal rules

- Admission fee once paid is not refundable. The security deposit is refundable after necessary adjustments when the student finally leaves the school.
- A minimum notice period of one month is required for withdrawal; if notice given is less than one month, tuition fee and bus fee (if applicable) in lieu of notice are to be deposited. Refunds and any adjustments are processed after these conditions are met. Annual Maintenance Charges remain payable for the whole year even if a student withdraws mid‑session.

Fee payment options and methods

- The published materials do not itemize an exhaustive list of accepted payment instruments. The school's admissions and fee policy requires payment of registration/admission amounts at confirmation and states that parents will be informed of the fee structure and payment procedures during admission. Historically, schools in the same group administer initial admission and security deposits by bank instruments (cheque/demand draft) and manage recurring fee collection through the school's billing/ERP system with payment methods to be notified to parents (online gateway, bank transfer/NEFT/RTGS/UPI, cheque, etc.). Parents should follow the payment instructions issued by the school accounts office at the time of admission.

Notes on special charges and concessions

- The school may charge special fees for individual additional services (remedial or gifted‑programme support, shadow teacher) as required and documented in the admissions/policy appendices. Scholarship and concession policies (where applicable) are managed according to the school's scholarship procedure for eligible grades.

Summary of coverage and availability of published figures

- The school's admission policy and admissions pages confirm the types of fees charged (registration/processing, admission fee, security deposit, tuition, annual maintenance and optional transport) and the billing cadence and withdrawal/refund rules, but a full grade‑by‑grade, term‑by‑term published fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year is not publicly posted in the school policy documents reviewed. A separate admission information sheet (session references for 2025–26 / 2026–27) lists specific example amounts (Admission Fee ₹100,000; Security Deposit ₹25,000; Annual Maintenance ₹21,000; monthly tuition bands and approximate transport charges as shown above) that have been circulated in admission notices. Where a complete per‑grade, per‑term official fee table is required for your database, those per‑grade line items are not available in the publicly posted school policy documents and admission pages reviewed.
