Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations [CISCE] — School affiliated to icse board is charging money for a tc

Address:

Howrah, West Bengal, 711101

I am an ex student of st. John's high school, howrah. I passed my isc exam in 1st div from this school. When i went to the above mentioned school to say that i need a tc from the school in order to get admission in a college, i was told that i will have to pay 500 rupees for the tc (Transfer certificate) and 250 rupees for migration certificate. Now my question is, is this a mandate for all the schools under your board to charge money for a tc and a mc? I havent heard of schools charging money for a tc. Your kind intervention in this matter is requested at the earliest.
Thanking you,
