The Directorate of Education on Friday said that schools shall accept request from parents for deffered payment of school fees for the moths of April and May, in view of the sudden outbreak of coronavirus. However, the deffered payment for these 2 months can be collected in equal installments in 3 months, April, May and June.

The department has also mentioned in a letter, that monthly fee payment can be taken by parents only who could afford it and did not request for deferment.

The Haryana government had issued orders regarding the payment of fees on April 23, according to which only monthly tuition fee could collected during the lockdown. Payment of other funds — such as building fund, maintenance fund, entrance fee, computer fee, among other additional heads — had been deferred. The government had also prohibited private schools from hiking tuition fees or introducing hidden charges in the fee, and asked schools to collect tuition fee on a monthly basis.
