Delhi Cabinet Approves School Fees Act To Curb Arbitrary Fee Hikes

In a significant move to tackle arbitrary fee hikes by schools, the Delhi Cabinet, under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has approved the Delhi School Fees Act. This decision aims to regulate school fees and ensure transparency, preventing schools from charging excessive fees. The act is expected to bring much-needed relief to parents across the capital.

The decision has been made in the wake of increasing frustration among parents regarding exorbitant hikes in school fees throughout the national capital. Once tabled and passed in the Delhi Assembly, the Act will become law and enforce strict regulations on private school fee structures.

So far, there has been no law in Delhi to regulate how private schools determine or hike their fees. The lack of such legislation made fee hikes go unchecked, leading to distress among many families. The newly approved Delhi School Fees Act comes as a major relief for parents, aiming to curb arbitrary and excessive fee increases by private institutions.
