Dropping out of college after 2nd year and stopped paying fee
11-Feb-2025 (In Civil Law)
I signed a non-judicial affedevit on a ₹10 stamp paper before enrolling in an Indian university. It says:
we (both the Deponents) hereby undertake to pay the fee as per the fee structure regularly each year during the course of studies of the Deponent-1
(name of the student) by the date specifled by the University. We are fully aware that, if fee is not paid by date of registration, the student will not be treated as registered.
I stopped paying fee&attend after 2nd year. Can they demandmoney?
yes they can demand money you signed a non judicial stamp paper ok the dependants are bound to pay the fee
and attend the course is it a private university yes see the terms of the contract you need to obtain the degree also

If you have not paid the fees for the second year and you are not attending the the classes also then there should be no problem because that means that you you are no longer a student of that Institution or that University . so they can not demand money from you. If you are still studying there and you're registered there and you're not paying the fees, can they demand money from you .

The enforceability of the university’s demand for payment depends on several factors:
Nature of the Affidavit – A non-judicial affidavit on ₹10 stamp paper is a declaration but does not create a legally binding contract like a formal agreement.
University's Fee Policy – If the university has a policy that students must pay fees only for the years they attend, then they may not have a strong claim against you for the remaining years. However, if their policy mandates full-course payment, they might demand the remaining fees.
Legal Position – Since you stopped attending after the second year, you may argue that you are not liable for fees beyond that period. However, if you signed any additional agreement or terms and conditions that state otherwise, the university may have a valid claim.
Possible Action by University – The university may send a demand notice or attempt legal recovery, but they will have to prove that you were contractually obligated to pay for the entire course.
What You Can Do:
Review the university’s refund and fee policies.
Check if there was any written agreement binding you to pay for the entire course.
If the university pressures you legally, you may challenge the demand in court, arguing that fees should only be charged for the period of actual attendance.
Unless a clear contractual obligation exists, their demand may not be legally enforceable.
