You can contest the charged penalty via the Educator App. However, you will have to mention a valid reason for waiving the penalty charges. Only upon validating the mentioned reason, the waiver request raised by you will be accepted. Unacademy holds the right to reject any waiver request if the provided reason is deemed invalid. 


Note: Penalty waiver requests will only be considered when raised via the Educator App.
