    Subject: Request for Granting Relief in Semester Fees due to the Economic Crisis

    Respected Sir,

    1. With due respect, this is to bring to your kind attention the economic stress caused by the
    COVID-19 pandemic and extended lockdowns on the families of RGNUL students. The
    cataclysmic damage caused to the various sectors of Indian Economy are unprecedented. At
    the micro level, this has hit the financial condition of many households across the country. In
    this scenario, many parents/guardians find it difficult to pay the fees for the next semester.

    2. Further, due to the premature closure of campus caused by the pandemic and subsequent
    declaration of Summer Vacations (thus causing a shutdown for 2 months), a major portion of
    fees paid for the summer semester (Feb-May) remain unutilised. The period of two months
    (14th March-14thMay) for the purpose of this application has been calculated on the basis of
    the notifications issued by the University [Annexure-A] viz. -
    i. Suspension of routine in-campus activities w.e.f. 14th March onwards followed by
    another Order declaring total closure of the University w.e.f. 20th March.
    ii. Declaration of Summer Vacation from 15th May to 15th June.
    3. We are conscious of the University’s liability to remunerate the teaching/non-teaching staff
    members of RGNUL family and other expenditure which, notwithstanding the closure of
    campus, are to be duly made. However, it does not seem rational and prudent to charge the
    fees for entire semester while the routine in-campus activities have been functional for just one
    and a half months. Further, the teachers have conducted classes and internal assessment for the
    semester through various online mediums. Hence, we assert that our request for the relief(s) is
    without prejudice to the portion of fees which are being spent by the University on salary
    remuneration to teaching/non-teaching staff.

    4. Certain constituents/particulars of fees including Mess Fees, Moot Court Fees, Campus
    Development Fund, Heath Centre Fees, Gym facility Fees, etc. remain unutilized due to the
    cutting short of summer semester. Not only this, the university will not be incurring
    expenditure (as in a normal semester) which is charged under a category of fees including
    internet, electricity, water, commodities and other utilities [Annexure-B].

    5. All these fees accrued and remaining underutilised by the University for the Summer Semester
    (Feb-May 2020) should be duly accounted by an ex-ante and ex-post comparison for the
    period. It is requested that based on the balance amount (hereinafter, ‘Balance’), a
    proportionate relief be granted to the students. Modalities of passing on such relief can
    accordingly be decided.

    6. Another area that requires your consideration is the routine hiking of fees every academic year.
    It would help relieve the burden on the parents if the University decides not to increase the fees
    during the upcoming session.

    7. In order to ease out the economic burden on the students and their parents/guardian, we request
    you to grant us the following relief(s):
    a. Exemption of Annual Increase in Tuition Fees for the next academic session; and
    b. Rebate in Late Fees (if any) applicable on payment of fees; and
    c. Partial Refund of ‘Fees’ already paid in lieu of the Balance (‘Fees’ including but
    not limited to Amenities Fee, Moot Court Fee, Mess Fee, Campus Development
    Fund, portion of Hostel Rent which remain unutilised); or
    d. Adjustment of the Balance by appropriate monetary relief in next semester fees.
    8. Further, we recommend the University to limit non-essential expenditure (if any) in the coming
    days. Additional modes of revenue generation such as starting MOOCs,
    Certificate/Credit/Diploma Courses and other economic activities can be pursued by the
    University to ease their economic stress.

    9. In light of the aforesaid, we request you to understand the plight of students and their families,
    and give the issue and relief(s) a serious consideration. We understand that you will take an
    appropriate decision in the best interest of all the students, guided by reason, prudence and
    compassion. We sincerely expect an optimistic response in this regard.

    Thank you.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Students of RGNUL.
    (Signatures attached herewith)
