Pune’s private schools mix Maharashtra SSC, CBSE, and a growing IB set around Hinjawadi and Kothrud. IT and manufacturing postings move families in mid-year, so admissions is not only an April event.

Fees are in INR with GST on extras. PMPML and hired buses are a billed reality for campuses on the city’s edge, not a parent WhatsApp workaround. Local named facts include Maharashtra SSC, Hinjawadi, GST, PMPML. Instrument: school record-retention practice for pupil files. INR tuition with GST on transport and activity heads. April academic year; monsoon weeks still need official working-day exceptions.

Local education and data-protection rules differ. The operational failure is keeping everything forever in an inbox, or deleting a file a board still asks for. Retention periods are jurisdiction-specific. This is not a privacy-law opinion. Appoint a school data owner. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
