Subject: Request to Discontinue the Mandatory Prepaid Wallet System and Reinstate a Pay-As-You-Go Payment Model

We, the undersigned parents and guardians of students at [School Name], would like to formally express our concern regarding the recently introduced requirement to preload a digital wallet with ₹5000 for various school-related activities and fees.

While we understand the school’s intention may be to streamline administrative processes, this practice raises several concerns from an educational, ethical, and financial standpoint:

Contrary to Financial Literacy Principles:
As an institution that aims to instill values of responsibility and planning in students, mandating an upfront bulk payment without clarity on usage contradicts the basic principles of budgeting, financial accountability, and conscious spending.

Financial Burden and Inflexibility:
Not all families are in a position to make advance payments for unspecified future expenses. A pay-as-you-go model respects individual financial situations and promotes fairness.

Unused Balances and Refund Issues:
In many cases, unused wallet balances are either carried over indefinitely or involve unclear refund procedures, which further complicates the process for parents.

We therefore respectfully request that the school:

Immediately discontinue the mandatory prepaid wallet system.

Revert to a transparent, event-specific, pay-as-you-go fee model.

Provide prior notifications and itemized communication for each upcoming activity or event.

We believe this change will not only alleviate financial pressure on families but also set a more practical example of financial discipline for our children.

We appreciate your attention to this matter and are happy to meet or discuss this further if
