Chennai: Providing assistance to schools without personal assistance in Tamil Nadu, including CBSE institutions, Madras High Court allowed them to collect 85% of the permanent annual fees for the 2019-20 academic year as a cost for the current academic year.
This only applies to parents who are government employees, public sector businesses, professionals and business people who have not suffered income losses due to pandemic, justice said D Krishnakumar.
“Parents who suffer from losing income during this pandemic will make applications to school management, who will consider their requests and collect 75% of the costs,” said the court.
The court clarifies that these costs must be collected in six installments on or before February 1 next year.
If there are parents looking for further concessions for payment of annual fees, they will make representation of school management, who will consider such representatives on the basis of cases-to-cases sympathetic, the jury added.
