This includes cases of incomplete attendance, student failing the pre-board examination and even suspension due to disciplinary actions. However, in case a student is rusticated from the school, the school can refuse to issue the admit card.
In the latter case, the school needs to inform the board of the action and seek guidance on the issuance of the admit card.
CBSE Admit Card Not Issued Due to Fee Default
Most common reason schools cite for withholding the issue of Admit Cards is the non-payment of fees due to the school. In such cases, CBSE though does not interfere with the school’s right to collect the fee, it does ask the school to issue the admit card irrespective.
The board is mindful of the emotional impact of such an action can have on the child. In the interest of the well-being of the child, CBSE has hence laid out a simple guideline, mandating that no student can be penalised for the non-payment of the fee.

Once the same are released, students can collect them from their respective schools. Schools are required to print the same, stamp and sign the admit cards before issuing it to the students.
