\r\n Fines and Payments\r\n <\/h1>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Loss of Library Card\r\n <\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\r\n In the event of the loss of a library card, the concerned member must\r\n inform the Librarian in writing without delay<\/strong>.\r\n A replacement library card will be issued after fourteen (14) days<\/strong>\r\n upon submission of a duly completed application form and payment of a\r\n fee of Rs. 25.00<\/strong>.\r\n The cardholder shall be held fully responsible for any library materials\r\n issued to another person using the lost library card.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Damage or Distortion of Library Card\r\n <\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\r\n If a library card becomes damaged, faded, or illegible<\/strong>,\r\n a new card must be obtained by submitting a duly completed application form\r\n together with a replacement fee of Rs. 25.00<\/strong>.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Retention of Books Beyond the Permitted Period\r\n <\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Library members are not permitted to retain lending books beyond the approved\r\n loan period without proper renewal. If a member wishes to retain a book beyond\r\n the permitted time, prior written approval must be obtained from the\r\n Librarian<\/strong>. Extensions may be granted only if there are no pending\r\n requests for the book.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Any book retained without proper renewal or authorization will be subject to a\r\n daily fine of Rs. 1.00 per book per day<\/strong> until the item is returned\r\n or regularized.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n Loss of a Lending Book\r\n <\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\r\n In the event of the loss of a lending book, the Library must be\r\n informed immediately<\/strong> using the prescribed application form.\r\n If the lost book is not recovered within two (2) weeks<\/strong> from the\r\n date of notification, the member shall be required to\r\n replace the book with a new copy<\/strong> or\r\n pay twice the current price of the book<\/strong>, in addition to a\r\n library fine of Rs. 50.00<\/strong>.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n If the book has been bound by the Library<\/strong>, the binding cost shall\r\n also be recovered. The Library Committee<\/strong> reserves the right to\r\n determine the final amount of compensation based on the\r\n year of publication, rarity, and difficulty of replacement<\/strong>,\r\n particularly in the case of rare or out-of-print materials.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
