Delhi cabinet clears bill to regulate fees across all schools
29 Apr 2025


In a major move to regulate school fees, the Delhi government has introduced a new bill.

The Delhi School Education Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees 2025 Bill will apply to all 1,677 private unaided and government-aided schools in the city, CM Rekha Gupta told the media.

The legislation aims to bring more clarity and fairness to how schools hike their fees.

Gupta stated that the government has received several complaints from parents concerning misbehavior in schools and arbitrary fee increases.

District Magistrates (DMs) were then sent to inspect the schools, and an audit was carried out.

"We understood there was no clear process to check how schools are increasing fees," Gupta said, referring to the existing 1973 law, which did not have any clause to control the issue.


Stakeholders to participate in fee determination process
Involvement


Education Minister Ashish Sood also announced three committees will be formed to enforce these rules and decide fees for three years based on each school's infrastructure.

Minister Sood added that teachers and parents will also be involved in the fee determination process under the new rules.

The government's move comes after a group of parents raised concerns about their children being expelled from a school in Model Town for protesting illegal fee hikes.


Any form of injustice, exploitation will be tackled: CM
Warning


At the time, Gupta said schools cannot terrorize students or charge exorbitant fees.

"If any school is found indulging in all these, it will have to suffer."

The CM also said notices would be issued to all schools against whom complaints have been received on illegal fee hikes.

Gupta reaffirmed the government's dedication to transparency, equal opportunity, and protection of children's rights in education.

"Any form of injustice, exploitation, and irregularity will be tackled with a zero-tolerance policy," she said.
