Respected Sir/Ma'm,

My Name is Prabhat Singh. I am a resident of Dhanori Pune.

I had taken admissions of my daughter Anwita Singh, in D Y Patil International School, Lohegaon, Pune. She was the part of school from Nursery to Grade I. This year because of hike in school fee we have decided to withdraw the admission from D Y Patil International School to a different school. We have informed the school authorities immediately after the declaration of results of grade I. The results for Grade I was declared on April 30, 2021 & we have informed the school about the withdrawal of admission on May 2, 2021. Now school staff is asking us to pay the first installment of school fee for Grade II as well i.e. Rs: 25000/- else they will not issue the transfer certificate of my daughter. When we discussed the issue with the accounts department, they asked us to leave the security deposit of Rs 15000/- which we have paid at the time of admission of my daughter and then they will issue the TC and will give us the waver of Rs: 10000/-.

Sir I would request you to please help us in this situation as we are withdrawing admission because of higher school fee and we can not afford to leave Rs 15000/- of the security deposit. We have paid all the school fee on time and there is no pending dues on us since the time of admission. We have paid the complete fee at the time of pandemic without asking for any discounts. My daughter has not attended any session / class for Grade II and also we have not taken any books but still we are asked for the payment of first installment.

I am attaching the complete email conversation with this letter that happened between me and school. I have asked multiple times to give me in written about the school demands but every time accounts department is communicating this over phone only and not giving me any thing over email. Now its 2 months since we are asking for the Transfer certificate as I would need to submit the same in the new school where we have taken admission of my daughter.

Thanks & Regards,
Prabhat Singh
