What Is a Transfer Certificate?
A Transfer Certificate — also called a School Leaving Certificate (SLC) in some states — is an official document issued by a school when a student discontinues studies at that institution. The receiving school requires this document for admission. It serves as proof that the student was formally enrolled, confirms their academic standing, and certifies that they have no pending obligations to the previous school.
Every recognized school in India, whether affiliated to CBSE, ICSE, or a state board, is required to issue a TC when requested. Under Section 5 of the RTE Act 2009, no school can withhold a Transfer Certificate even if fee dues are pending — they must issue it and note the outstanding amount on the certificate.
TC Fields Explained
A standard Transfer Certificate has 18 fields. Here's what each one means and why the receiving school checks it:
| Field | What It Contains | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Student Name | Full name as per admission records | Must match across school records and Aadhaar |
| Father's / Mother's Name | Parent/guardian names | Identity verification at new school |
| Date of Birth | In figures and words | Age verification for class eligibility |
| Admission No. | Unique ID assigned at enrollment | Cross-reference for verification calls |
| Date of Admission | When the student first joined | Duration of study calculation |
| Class at Admission / Leaving | Entry and exit class | Academic progression verification |
| Promotion Status | Whether promoted or detained | Determines class placement at new school |
| Working Days / Days Present | Attendance in last academic year | Attendance pattern assessment |
| Conduct | Behavioral assessment | Character reference for new school |
| Dues | Outstanding fee balance | Financial clearance status |
TC Format Requirements by Board
Different education boards prescribe different TC formats. Using the wrong format or missing a required field can cause admission delays at the receiving school:
| Board | Format Requirement | Key Additions |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE | Prescribed format per Affiliation Bye-Laws | Affiliation number, CBSE serial format |
| ICSE / ISC | CISCE prescribed format | Council registration number, subjects studied |
| UP Board | Printed format from authorized vendor | Hindi language, district code |
| Maharashtra (SSC) | MSBSHSE prescribed format | Marathi + English bilingual |
| Karnataka (SSLC) | KSEEB format | Kannada + English bilingual |
| Tamil Nadu | State prescribed format | Tamil + English bilingual |
