The refund of security fees for not participating in the stray round (up counseling) depends on the specific rules and regulations of the counseling authority.

Some counseling authorities may have provisions for refunding the security fees if you do not participate in the stray round. However, others may retain the security fee as a processing charge or administrative fee.

To get a definite answer, you should:

1. Refer to the counseling brochure or information booklet: This document will outline the rules regarding security fee refunds.
2. Contact the counseling authority: Reach out to the relevant counseling authority (e.g., MCC, state counseling authorities) and inquire about their refund policy.
