“Transfer Certificates Not A Tool For Schools To Collect Arrears Of Fees From Parents”: Madras High Court

The Madras High Court has ruled that schools cannot insist on a Transfer Certificate (TC) during the admission process. This decision addresses concerns where some schools were requiring a TC from students transferring from other institutions, causing undue stress and obstacles for both students and parents. The court's order aims to simplify the admission process and ensure that students are not unfairly hindered by such requirements. Schools are now directed to adhere to this ruling, promoting a more inclusive and streamlined approach to student admissions.
