To The Principal, [School or College Name], [City] Date: [Date] Subject: Request for more time to pay the fees Respected Sir/Madam, I am the [father/mother] of [Student's Name], class [Class and Section], roll number [Roll Number]. The fees of Rs [Fee Amount] for [Fee Period] are due on [Due Date]. Because of [Reason, for example a delay in my salary], I am not able to pay the full amount by that date. I request you to kindly allow me to pay it by [Date You Can Pay], without a late fee if possible. I assure you that the fees will be paid by this date. I am thankful for your understanding. Yours sincerely, [Parent's Name] Mobile: [Mobile Number]

When to use this letter

Use this when the fee can be paid, but not by the due date: salary delayed, a loan instalment awaited, a sudden expense at home. It asks for time, not for a reduction. If the family cannot pay the full fee at all, the fee concession application is the right letter.

Before you send it

Apply before the due date. A request made after the date looks like an excuse.
Name the exact date you will pay. If you want instalments, write each amount and date.
Keep the promise. A kept promise makes the next request, if you ever need one, easy.

How to send or submit it

A parent signs it and submits it at the accounts office or to the principal before the due date. Ask for the decision in writing or as a note on your copy, including whether a late fee will still apply, so that there is no confusion at exam time.

Mistakes that get it sent back

Sent after the due date had passed.
No date by which the fee will be paid.
An earlier promise of this kind was not kept.
Class, section and admission number missing.
