Subscription Details
One time Admission Fee: Rs. 1400/-
Half-Yearly Renewal: Rs. 2050/-
The renewal periods: April through September and October through March.
A new member who is being sworn in at the beginning of a term (i.e the scheduled swearing in ceremony falls on the moths of April/October) shall pay a total of 1400 + 2050 = Rs. 3450/-. For each month elapsed from the start of the renewal period, the member can deduct Rs.300/- per each elapsed month.
For instance if the swearing in ceremony is in February, 4 months would have elapsed from the start of a renewal period. Hence 4*300 = 1200, can be deducted from Rs. 2050. Hence, the joining fee = 1400 +(2050-1200) = 2250/-
The same fees structure applies for reinstated membership (after a break in membership), dual membership and club transfer. However these members do no have to pay the one time admission fee of Rs 1400/-.
