In view of complaints related to non-refund of fee, the University Grants Commission (UGC) today issued a letter directing institutes to refund the fee and return original documents to students whose admission has been cancelled.

It warned the institutes of punitive action in case the order was not complied with.

The UGC had, in August, announced the fee refund policy 2022-23 wherein the educational institutions were required to return the entire fee, including all charges, on account of cancellation of admissions and migration of students.

Any institution or university found to be violating the policy by giving its interpretations of guidelines will be liable for punitive actions as per the UGC notification.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
