How to submit the Affiliation Fee
- Affiliation fee is to be deposited separately by Demand Draft drawn in favour of Secretary, Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi.
- Schools can also remit prescribed fee through a system generated e‐challan at any branches of HDFC Bank or through NEFT /RTGS through branches of any nationalized /scheduled Banks
Please Note: For this purpose HDFC Bank branch locater is provided on the website www.cbseaff.nic.in . The HDFC Bank will accept requisite fee amount by cash/DD/Cheque. However the confirmation page of online application can be generated by schools only after crediting requisite fee in the CBSE account with HDFC Bank. Schools opting to remit fee through NEFT /RTGS in the CBSE account with HDFC bank can also take print of confirmation of online application form subject to realisation of the requisite fee in the CBSE account with HDFC Bank. After taking printout of confirmation page of online application form, the same duly signed by the Principal and Manager of the school alongwith enclosures and CBSE copy of fee payment challan shall be sent to the Board at the following address:The Deputy Secretary(Affiliation) Central Board of Secondary Education Shiksha Kendra 2, community Centre, PreetVihar, Delhi ‐110092
Now a relevant question could be ‘What happens to the affiliation Fee if a schools doesn’t get or is Rejected for CBSE Affiliation’.
Here is a circular from CBSE which explains the financial repercussions, have a look
It basically states an amendment in the bye law from a 10% deduction in the affiliation fee it has been increased to 50%. So total refund a school will get post rejection will be 50% of the submitted Affiliation Fee. The time period is within a year.
School Reserve Fund
“Reserve Fund” means fund created by the school authority as per requirement of the Board, in a Post Office/Nationalized Bank in the joint names of the Managing Trustee/ Society Member / Company and the Principal of the School concerned.
I believe the amount is of hardly any consequence but still it is mandatory requirement.
1) The school shall maintain reserve fund to the extent indicated below:
|
Enrolment of students from 1st and onwards |
Amount of Reserve Fund |
|
Upto 500 students |
Rs. 60,000/- |
|
From 501 to 750 students |
Rs. 80,000/- |
|
From 751 to 1000 students |
Rs. 100,000/- |
|
Above 1000 students |
Rs. 100/- per student’ rounded to the nearest thousand. |

Dear Sir
Can we apply for Secondary school affiliation after getting middle school affiliation immediately. Suppose we got affiliation middle school in session 2019-20 and want to start class 9 in the session 2021-22.
Yes, you may
Dear sir,

We wait 2 days but no action. Now time is over. How to get confirmation page….

Sir Is it mandatory to pay salary of staff through ECS it is very complicated process time is limited with us i have t write compliance to cbse i have done salary through Internet banking of sbi
I think this is also allowed, though ECS is a simple process, ask the Bank guys to get it done ASAP.
some one told me that there should be two doors of a room as per the new norms of CBSE, but it is not written any where. is it True?
There are no norms like that.
hello will the last date for affiliation on line extented? only 4 more days are there for last date.Our NOC is under process. what can we do? Is there any alternate to do online? please reply.
Dear Vasanthi, My apologies for a late reply. As you must have observed by now, the dates haven’t received an extension. Portal will again open on January 1st for affiliation for the Academic year 2020-21.
When we applied for provisional affiliation, the reserve fund was RS 60000/-for the strength it’s then. Now we are applying for upgradation. For the present strength (560) the reserve fund should be 80000/- . What should be done now? Shall we deposit 20000/- Is it okay?
The reserve fund rules have gone through a change, earlier what was between the Secretary, CBSE, and the Manager, school is now between the Managing Trustee/ Chairman / Member / Director of Sec 8 and the Principal of the School.
Circular
Above 1000 students it should be Rs. 100/- per student’ rounded to the nearest thousand. In your case for 560 strength, you have to deposit 80,000. I think you have done the right thing.

CBSE Affiliated School ko regular inspection karne ke liye kaun officer authorised hain ?
Prescribed Registration Fee for class IX aur Examination Fee for class X se jyada school Manager demand karte hai tatha Board dwara issued Marks sheet, Magration Certificate, Qualifying certificate ka fee Demand karte hain. Iska shikayat kahan darj kiya jaye ?
CBSE can inspect any school under them at any given point of time. There are n authorised inspectors but school principals from different schools are the one who can conduct inspections. CBSE nominates these Principals.
If you are a parent, kindly talk to the School Management Committee.
Reserve fund to cbse in which bank.only in hdfc bank or other nationalised bank.pl tell
Dear Manoj,
It can be any bank of your choice. There is NO restriction to do it with HDFC only.
some one told me that there should be two doors of a room as per the new norms of CBSE, but it is not written any where. is it True?
There are several amendments which keep on taking place, I suggest keep a tab on http://www.cbse.nic.in for any such announcements and notices.
The school missed the last date of online submission of form and fees for upgradation of school to sr.sec level (2017-18), and the site is closed now! what is the way further? will the link be reopened again? im the new principal who has joined recently…and dont want my students to suffer!please guide!
Dear Ms Patel,
I am sorry to hear that, I regret though there is not much which can be done now, but to wait for the affiliation window to open for next year. Let me know if you need any consultation services, i can be reached at +917000240006 or you can also mail me at abhiney@brightoninternational.in
Mr. Abhinay Singh,
I have a small question regarding land requirement. We have a society registered and running hundreds of primary schools in India. To get recognition from state government do we need to have land in the name of School though we have our land and buildings in the Name of our organization.
Dear Sir,
The land can be in the name of the society or leased to the society whites running the school.
So answering your specific query, if the land is in the name of your organisation which if is a Trust or a Society than it is alright for you to apply for affiliation.
Do a School get affiliation number in middle school syllabus approval or not ? Or only school get affiliation number for secondary and sr secondary
School would certainly get an affiliation number after the Middle School approval
Dear sir,
I want to Open Play Group Jr. Kg. Sr. Kg in CBSE how to process pleas suggest
There is no CBSE or ICSE affiliation for Play Group and Pre Primary Classes.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE ICSE BOARD ROOM SIZE FOR MIDDEL CLASS HOW MANY LAND FOR MIDDEL CLASS SCHOOL
It should be 360square feet minimum. Keep in mind your state government norms also matter in respect of classroom size inspected and verified before NOC is issued. For ICSE affilition, the minimum land required is 2000sq.mtrs.Middle-level school is recognized by DIOS/state government.ICSE/CBSE affiliation you require before starting the 9th class.
I want to open a CBSE school upto class 10th.Kindly provide details and procedure
Dear Sachindra,
I have already mentioned the procedure in my blog across posts, kindly read the bye laws and the posts. They should help.
