Hello,

Schools cannot legally withhold a student's admit card for unpaid fees if it prevents them from appearing in board exams. Admit cards are issued by the board (e.g., CBSE, ICSE), and schools act only as facilitators.

1. Right to Education : Denying a student access to board exams violates the fundamental right to education under Article 21A of the Constitution of India.

2. School Fees Disputes : While schools can pursue fee recovery through legal or administrative means, they cannot punish students academically for financial disputes.

3. Seek Help : Reach out to your school principal, explaining your situation, or write to the board requesting intervention. Provide proof of partial payment.

4. Legal Action : If the issue persists, contact a legal aid organization or child rights commission in your area to prevent further action by the school.

Hope it helps !
