You are entitled to claim a refund, but the exact amount depends on the school’s refund policy and applicable guidelines. As per general legal principles and various court/consumer forum rulings, if you informed the school before the academic session commenced and the seat could be filled by another student, the school cannot unjustly retain the entire fee. In such cases, they may deduct only reasonable administrative charges. Further, many education boards (like CBSE) provide that tuition fee for the period not attended should not be charged, and caution money/security deposit must be refunded. If the school refuses refund without valid justification, it may amount to unfair trade practice, and you can file a complaint before the Consumer Commission seeking refund along with compensation. However, if there is a signed agreement clearly stating “non-refundable admission fee,” courts sometimes allow limited deductions, but not arbitrary retention of the full amount. You should: Check the school’s written fee/refund policy Send a written request/email for refund If denied, issue a legal notice and proceed legally Overall, you can reasonably expect a substantial refund, subject to minor deductions, especially since withdrawal was before the session started.

It depends on the service policy of the school but generally the admission fees are refundable if canceled before sessions begins, they charge a small processing fees but they may deny it depending upon the policy of the school, if they deny it you may get in touch with me to get it back via legal recovery.

Hi, it entirely depends on the documents which you might have signed while paying the advance fee. However, since the reason is relocation, and assuming it was unavoidable, you can fight the case and get full refund.
