No Dues Certificate

This is the one and only time when i put something official on my blog, but perhaps because it has become pretty much of a personal agenda for me.

The No Dues procedure till last year was very tedious, and called for each graduating student to get as many as 30 signatures and most of the times for no reason.It was therefor my agenda to get rid of this ridiculous procedure.After about a month of struggle and tens of meetings the idea was approved by the director and an office order was released to revamp the procedure.

The central idea is the point no.5 in the office order, that no student needs to get any signatures from anybody or for that matter we do not need any no dues certificate to get a degree.Instead it is now the responsibility of the administration to check their records and bring to declare if there are any demands against our name. Only once the list is declared if there are dues against your name, you ll have to clear them.

FAQ

1.So do i have to stay till 27 May to make sure that i m done with this place ?

No the idea is that by default there are no dues against you,by the time you finish your BTP eval your hall,dept and library would already have prepared a list of defaulters see if your name figures there... if yes clear your dues and leave.

2.My department has given me a form to get signatures, what do i do ?

Well clearly they are not following the office order if they are doing this, remind them gently about this order.If they still dont agree technically it is their responsibility to send demands if any against your name to academic section,and after that if dont submit the form there will be no action against you.

I cant think of any more questions right now, if you have them pls write them in as comments, i ll be glad to reply.

Some Questions that suma asked along with the answers :

Q1. By when do we have to clear the dues?

You can clear the dues anytime beginning right now. Bul lets go into a lil bit more detail :

1) Hall : will stop mess on 30th April and shud be ready with the account in 5 days. They are expected to put up a notice in their respective notice boards abt the dues. So u look at the notice and pay the requisite amount.

2) Dept : the work stops on the day of BTP eval so 5 days from then

3) Library : Many students return their books after GVs and evals to officially they will not compile any list before 20th May although you can check ur own account and leave if u have no dues.

4) Gymkahana, HMC ,NCC,NSS : usually they dont have demand against any student, the only possible case is if u have not returned a trophy or if their was a fine against u (usually a punishment in a DC) , if u think u fall into these categories then check once. But most of you dont.

Q2. Do we have to clear dues separately at different locations or at one place, like the cash section in case of library fines?

All dues are cleared centrally at SBI bank. Their is a special form though which will be available at all these loactions as well as in cash section.

Q3. We get the dues against us if any, we dont pay, and leave the institute. Since the different sections mentioned will take time processing the data, we'll be gone till the 20th of May. What happens then?

You are expected to pay within the following seven days. You can perhaps ask some of ur friends who might be staying back to pay for you.

Q4. Even if they keep my degree, i can still get a provisional one and run away right? [:P]

Yes !! Absolutely [:)]
