Institute not refunding the admission fee what action can I take


08-Apr-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)

I had admitted my son in psbb lla on september 2015 for the acadamic year 2016 june.i had paid rs 91450( 60000 as induction fee and 31450 as tuition fee). Due to relocation, i had to cancel the admission and i applied for cancellation on feb 02 2016 and asked for refund of entire money i paid. With repeated follow up, they refunded only 31450 the tuition fee. They are not ready to refund 60000 saying non refundable in the receipt itself. Shall i approach consumer forum to get refund of rs 60000. I had cancelled well in advance.well before june

You can surely approach the consumer court. Also there is presently AICTE ombudsman where you can approach.

For refund after taking admission AICTE published their guidelines which the colleges needs to follow for considering the cancellation and refund request from students. For any further query you can get in touch with us.

Dear Querist,
You can approach the consumer forum for redressal, although it is mentioned as nonrefundable (Rs.60,000/-) you must contend that it is unfair trade practise as they are not blocking the seat since the admission process starts only in April/May for June 16 admission, they are not put to any loss as they are accomodating another student. You can also seek compensation and mental agony.

When you cancelled well in advance, you have got every right to claim the refund. First issue legal notice to institute that you would initiate consumer proceedings against it claiming compensation and refund of rs.60,000/-
