We have received the circular regarding payment of fees for academic year 2020-21. We do appreciate the waiver of 20000 Rs. in the fees from the management.

This is to highlight that we as parents would like to understand the compliance of the school, with the law of the land in relation to the fee hikes. We want to and need to be assured that the increments are as per the law and there is no malpractice. We have no objection to any compliant and justified fee hike and the due dates shall be honored accordingly.

Request you to please answer the queries raised by the parents regarding the same. We have communicated these queries to the PTA and they are still unanswered and hence raising the same to school management directly. Our queries are not directed to the teachers and there are no grievances that concern them in this letter.

School is charging exorbitant fees without following any law & threatening parents on questioning the same. Though the 7th Pay is not applicable , school is collecting huge amount in the name of 7th Pay. PTA'S are failed to perform duties behalf of parents but misleading, misguiding the innocent parents & had clear collusion with the Management . Very bad experience . One Shouldn't do such things in the name of Education, where school is considered as temple.
