Bare Act
The Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025
This Delhi government law mandates transparency and strict regulation over fees charged by private schools within the National Capital Territory. It applies to all recognised private educational institutions and their managing bodies, prohibiting them from collecting any amount beyond what is officially approved or fixed. The legislation defines specific types of fees allowed, including tuition and development costs, while outlining limits on charges like term fees and security deposits. Its primary purpose is to protect parents and guardians, particularly those from economically weaker backgrounds, from arbitrary financial exploitation by ensuring that school charges remain fair, reasonable, and accountable to the public.
