There is no meaning or any purpose solved by paying the transportation fee if the facility is not availed by the student.

If you have confirmed that the child is not using the bus facility then you can either issue a legal notice to the school authorities to stop collecting the bus fees or to face the legal consequences for this unfair trade practice.

you cannot force your wife to accept the fees, if she has returned that amount you had sent then that becomes an evidence for her refusal to accept the amount paid by you towards the child's educational expenses. 

If there is no legal  dispute between your wife and you and in the absence of any court order directing you to bear the expenses, and despite that, if your wife is refusing to accept the amount towards the fees, you may stop paying them and wait for her to file a petition for child maintenance, you can then demand through court about the details of the expenses and pay them accordingly.

• Put everything in writing—today

  • Email the school + your wife:

    “From the April – June 2025 term I will bear 100 % of tuition (₹ ____). As the child has not used the bus since ____, I do not consent to the transport charge of ₹ ____.”

  • Ask the school to issue separate fee heads or a manual challan for tuition only.

  • Keep the mail and delivery/read receipts—this is your proof of intent to pay.

• Pay the tuition component through a traceable channel

  • If the portal won’t split the amount, RTGS/NEFT the exact tuition sum to your wife’s bank a/c with the narration “Child — Tuition fee Q1 2025”.

  • Attach the transfer slip to a follow‑up email: “Kindly remit this to the school. Transport charge, if any, is at your discretion.”

• If she returns the money again, do NOT recycle it

  • Reply once: “Amount returned on ___. I remain willing to pay tuition; please advise an account that will be honoured.”

  • Stop there—your bank statement + emails show that non‑payment is not your fault.

• Escalate only if the school threatens late‑fee/expulsion

  • Send a legal notice to the school (and copy the District Education Officer) pointing out that Rule 167 of the Delhi School Education Rules allows parents to dispute optional charges.
