What to do if college is not giving noc & Transfer certificate ?

Under Indian law, schools and colleges cannot legally withhold a Transfer Certificate (TC), even if there are pending dues. If you're trying to get your TC after the first year, you should:

1. Submit a formal written application to the principal or dean, clearly requesting the TC.

2. Clear any outstanding formalities, like returning library books or paying minor administrative fees (but they can't make TC conditional on full fee payment for future semesters).

3. If the college refuses or delays the TC without a valid reason, you can send a legal notice through a lawyer.

4. You can also file a complaint with the University Grants Commission (UGC) or the relevant education authority.

Hi, demand the reason from your current college for not providing the Transfer Certificate (T.C.) as well as the No Objection Certificate (NOC). Then, make your request formally before them. If they still do not provide the T.C. with a valid reason, send them a legal notice through a legal professional. If they fail to respond, you may file a contempt of court petition based on the Supreme Court judgment regarding the issuance of migration certificates in the district court. Additionally, you can file a writ petition (such as quo warranto or mandamus) in the High Court.

Dear Sir, I am sorry to hear about your situation. Under the law, schools or colleges cannot legally withhold Transfer Certificates (TC). You should write to the college principal or dean requesting the reasons for refusal to grant the TC. If the principal fails to respond, you may issue a legal notice through a lawyer to the school authorities. You can also approach the High Court and file a writ petition against them. Please ensure that when you send the letter to the school, you do so via registered post or courier to maintain a record for court purposes.
