Fee Waiver Conditions for SC and ST Students
NLU Delhi offers a 50% fee waiver on the base application fee for students belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories. To avail this waiver you must meet the following conditions:
- You must select the SC or ST category correctly in the application form before proceeding to payment.
- A valid caste certificate issued by a competent authority must be uploaded at the time of application.
- The certificate must be in the name of the applicant and not a parent or guardian.
- Students who select General or OBC by mistake cannot claim the SC or ST waiver after fee payment is completed.
- PwD students may also be eligible for the reduced fee. A valid disability certificate from a recognised medical authority is required.
The OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) category does not carry a fee waiver for AILET. OBC students pay the same fee as General category students. EWS students similarly pay the full General category fee but are entitled to reservation benefits during seat allotment.

Common Fee Payment Errors and How to Fix Them
Several students face avoidable errors during AILET fee payment. The table below lists the most frequently reported problems along with the correct action for each one.
| Error | Cause | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Fee deducted but form not submitted | Internet disruption or browser crash after payment | Log in again and check your dashboard. If the form shows incomplete contact the NLU Delhi helpdesk with your transaction ID and do not pay again. |
| Double payment made | Clicking Pay more than once or using two devices simultaneously | Do not attempt a third payment. Email the NLU Delhi admissions office with both transaction IDs to request a refund of the duplicate amount. |
| Wrong category selected before payment | Selecting General when entitled to SC or ST fee | Go back and correct your category before completing payment. Once payment is done the excess fee is typically not refunded so contact the helpdesk immediately. |
| Payment failed but amount debited | Bank timeout or payment gateway error | Wait 48 to 72 hours for an automatic reversal. If the amount is not reversed raise a dispute with your bank and email the NLU Delhi admissions helpdesk. |
| UPI payment pending for an extended period | UPI server load during peak application hours | Do not initiate a second payment. Check your UPI app transaction history and wait up to 24 hours for confirmation before contacting support. |
Keep a screenshot of your payment confirmation page and note your transaction reference number immediately after completing payment. This is your primary proof if any dispute arises later.
