How GCU dues and advance tax work
There is no per credit hour fee to work out at GCU. Each programme has a fixed instalment for every semester, two a year, and the total of those instalments is the cost of the programme.
Advance tax: GCU collects advance tax at 5% on the entire fee when the amount payable in a year exceeds Rs 200,000. In BS Computer Science (morning) the first year comes to Rs 236,300, so the tax is Rs 11,815. The parent or guardian can adjust it against income tax with the tax certificate the university issues, which is why the calculator shows it apart from the dues.
Overseas seats: students on overseas seats pay US$1,000 a year on top of the regular dues.
Late payment: a fine of Rs 500 within 10 days of the due date, Rs 2,000 after 10 days and Rs 5,000 after a month.
