Chennai: The State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission has directed Sri Ramachandra University in Porur to return USD 18,000 (approximately ₹11.73 lakh) collected as excess fee from a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) student who discontinued MBBS course from the university. Condemning the university for unfair practices, the commission also slapped a fine of ₹10,000.
The complainant, Parasaran Rangarajan, had enrolled in the MBBS course in 2009 under the NRI quota. According to the petition filed by him, he had paid a fee amount of USD 1,43,000 (approximately ₹93.16 lakh) in three instalments.
However, the fee turned out to be USD 1,25,000 (₹81.43 lakh). He had also paid the hostel fee for the entire duration of the course.
Parasaran couldn’t finish the course and had to discontinue the five-and-a half year course after a year due to ill-health.
Since he had made an excess payment of USD 18,000 , he appealed to the university administration to return the amount.
However, the authorities sat on the request and never bothered to respond to him despite repeated appeals and writing to them. Following that,he knocked on the doors of the state consumer dispute redressal commission.
The bench comprising Justice Dr S Tamilvanan and K Baskaran, after the final hearing last Wednesday ruled in favour of Parasaran and directed the university to repay the excess fee.
