It is not compulsory in every case. Whether the husband must pay for the child's books and uniform depends on the court order, settlement terms, and the financial needs of the child. I can help you assess your case.

file an application under sec 125 before the court of competent authority and if there is already a pending case then file the application when the next date comes up, pray in your application and pleadings that the maintenance given is not enough

If the court order specifically directs the husband to pay only ₹12,000 as maintenance and school fees separately, then uniforms, books, transport and other educational expenses will depend on the wording of the order. They are not automatically payable unless specifically directed by the court or mutually agreed between the parties. However, if uniforms, books and other school-related expenses are essential for the child's education and are not covered under the existing order, the custodial parent may approach the Family Court seeking additional directions. The court will decide based on the child's needs, the father's financial capacity and the terms of the existing maintenance order.

Date of order of 12000/ is not mentioned... If order passed before 12 months you can file application for enhancement of maintenance on the ground of change in circumstance, increase prices, necessity of child change,income of husband also increased than court can consider and pass the order for enhancement of maintenance...

If the court order or settlement only requires maintenance and school fees, uniform and books are payable only if specifically directed. Otherwise, seek court clarification or modification if disputed.
