The Tuition fees as shown in this Prospectus are payable at the Banks, and the triplicate of the chalan is to be submitted at the Office when coming to collect Text books, the dates for which will be intimated through a circular to the present students.

Those seeking fresh admissions will be advised on mode of payment, dates etc. in the selection intimation, sent by the Office.

Subsequent payments can be made on or before 5th of every month. Fee collection is done through Bank. Over 100 branches of the Canara Bank and Union Bank of India  of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada (Mangaluru) districts, and neighbouring districts will accept the School fee payments. The list of branches is shown as Appendix 1 at the end of this Prospectus. The paying-in-slips (chalans) for this purpose will be issued at the time of admission by the School Office. The ICICI Bank and AXIS Bank also accept fee payments in all their branches within the country.

The “Triplicate” of paying-in-slips (chalan) must be sent to the School Office promptly every month. Parents may deposit the “Triplicate” in the boxes provided in School buses from 1st to 10th of the month or send it by post.

Parents shall keep the “Quadruplicate” safely with them for that is their receipt and proof for having made the remittance. No separate receipt will be issued by the School Office for remittance through Bank.

While online payments are also permitted, it’s important that a bank receipt / counterfoil is sent to the School Office.  While making online payments, the student’s Name, Class and Roll No. must be clearly mentioned.  Without these, the School Office will not be able to identify the remitter.

Payment by Demand Draft is acceptable only from parents who do not have chalan facility in their neighbourhood. The Demand Drafts should be sent by Registered Post or Speed Post to reach the School Office by the due date.

The School welcomes payments on or before the due date. Late payments are strongly discouraged as it causes a lot of problems. Parents shall take care to remit the correct amount and add late fee if paid after the due date as specified in Fee Rules (4.7) of this Prospectus.

A School like LRIS needs large sums of money for its developments. The fee collected is not sufficient even to meet the recurring expenditure. Yet no capitation fee is collected. Hence parents who can afford are encouraged to contribute to the School Development Fund.

It should, however, be noted that the admission of the child is in no way connected with the above. Further, a parent who helps the School in any manner mentioned above shall not expect any special favour.
