1) issue legal notice to students to pay the outstanding fees and collect their certificates 

 

2) if they fail to pay you can file suit to recover the fees but legal expenses would be more than fees sought to be recovered 

 

3) in future don’t permit students to appear for exams unless fees are paid

Send a demand letter to all these students, who have not paid the fee till date.

If they still do not pay, send a legal notice to each of them.

Student below 18 years can not enter into any valid contract. So no dues can be lawfully claimed from them by you.  As to students aged 18 or above you can lawfully claim provided the claims have not been time barred .

Fees are taken in advance, why u you permitted late fees. 

Well, without certificate their years spend on course is waste. Either issue them all a common letter to collect certificates by paying remaining fees or you shall be constrain to I initiate legal action for recovery of dues fees.

You address letters to the defaulters parents asking them to clear the  dues and  collect the certificates.

In case  if  they fail to do so, you make a requisition to the Board of Secondary to permit you to withhold their  certificates  viz., TC, Mark Sheet and other relevant certificates till they clear the dues.

Once this  is done  you will have at lease some people reacting  and it  keeps moving.

-  You should issue a warning letter to the parents of defaulted students , after narrating that , in the event of non payment of dues, why the certificates should not be cancelled.

- If no response wihtin 14 days of time , then as per law, you should appoint an Arbirator to settle the dispute , and further the Arbirator will have power to recover the dues legally. 

- You cannot recover dues fee from filing the suit of recovery from each and every students. 

- Hence, adopt the above ways, you will get your dues amount as per law.

You may take legal recourse to recover the money for which firstly legal notice would be issued by your advocate and thereafter, a civil suit for recovery of due amount with interest would be filed on your behalf.

The remedy in your hands is to file a suit for recovery of money in the competent civil court to seek the fee along with interest and cost of litigation.
