Private Schools in Delhi Ordered to Obtain Government Approval Before Increasing Fees
The Delhi government has said that private schools in the state, which have been officially recognized and given land by the government, cannot raise their fees without getting permission from the government first.
These schools need to ask for approval from the Directorate of Education before they decide to increase fees for the academic year 2024-25. According to the directive from the Directorate of Education, recognized private schools that have received land from the DDA (Delhi Development Authority ) cannot increase their fees without getting prior approval.
The schools are required to charge fees based on the last approved fee structure by the Director of Education or according to the fee statement they have submitted.
“Where as per Section 17 of DSEAR, 1973, it is clear that there are no private unaided schools in Delhi which have been allocated land by the Govt. Agencies shall increase fees without the prior sanction of the Director of Education,” the official order stated.
The school’s suggestions will be carefully checked by the Director or authorized officers. If a school doesn’t send in any suggestions as per this rule, they can’t raise their fees. These schools must wait until the Director of Education approves their suggestions before increasing any fees. If a school raises fees without approval, serious action will be taken against them according to the law.
