Council For The Indian School Certificate Examinations [CISCE] — With holding the LC for my child asking me to pay 3 months fees for the upcoming term for getting the LC

Address:Billabong High International School Thane

Hello Sir/Madam,
My son Master VeerPratap Singh studied in Billabong High International School Thane from April 20 to March 22. He started here in standard 1st and completed his standard 2nd. During this time, i have cleared all my dues of the school. During my kids tenure there, the school kept increasing fees by 15% every year, and kept sending circulars for buying uniforms etc from them.
The parents association protested against the fee hike and the fees issue was pending between Parents Association and the school management, yet they charged a fine for late payment from parents. I obliged to the hefty fine but I felt that the school was in a money making game and were trying to extract a lot of money by one way or the other, hence i decided to change my kids school.

Before starting the 3rd grade, I applied for admission in another school. I applied for an LC from Billabong Thane on 23rd March, his 2nd standard term got over on 15th April and I had intimated them of my LC before the 2nd grade got over, they gave me a few forms to fill which i did. The next term for 3rd standard is due for starting on 6th June.

Upon following up for the LC on 29th April'22, they told me that i will have to pay fees for quarter 1 for 3rd grade. This term has not even started and my son wont be attending 3rd grade in this school. When i questioned them further, they cited internal school policies as reason for demanding this money.

Until I clear the fees for Q1 for 3rd grade they wont issue me an LC.

Sir/madam, I humbly request you to kindly look into this, why should the school demand money when the Kid is not attending school. I am a single mother and paying this unlawful money will be a big pinch. The amount applicable is around 40, 000/- which is a very high amount for me to pay as a single parent.

Thankyou so much!

Regards
Pamila

Holy Child School

I had not received a message about admission fees. I have shared some screenshots for you to look over.
I was told that admissions have been closed when I went to school today.
