All-inclusive fee, no mid-course increase, pro-rata refund within 10 days
What the Bill says
A receipt must be issued immediately on any payment. The declared course fee must include prospectus, notes, study material and internal examinations — nothing may be charged under any other head. The fee cannot be increased during the course. A student leaving mid-course must be refunded on a pro-rata basis within ten days, including hostel and mess fees.
Why it matters
The refund clause is the most consequential provision in the Bill for centres. It is silent on whether "pro-rata" is measured by calendar time or by syllabus actually delivered — a course finished in October but running to February is treated the same as one still in progress.
