Education Minister Ashish Sood on Friday announced that the Delhi government has implemented a new fee regulation law which includes provisions for parents' participation and veto power on fee hike for all 1,700 private Delhi schools. Speaking at a "parents' town hall" in Janakpuri, Sood said that Delhi school education (transparency in fixation and regulation) Bill, 2025, which was approved during the monsoon session of the assembly, aims to guarantee transparency in the price-funding process and to stop the Captain Charge Rise.

Around 200 parents participated in the discussion, during which the minister went to important legal rules and the consequences of breaking them. He said in an official statement that schools that increase fees without the consent of the government would be subject to fine between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, if additional cost is not reimbursed, with quadruple punishment.
To guarantee the frequent enforcement of violations, this measure also gives the Director of the Education Authority to a sub-division magistrate, it said. It said that committees made from parents, teachers, school administrators and government representatives will be engaged in determining the cost of the school.
According to Sood, the new law makes a difference in the 1973 rules, which applies only to 300 institutions. "All Delhi private schools will now be subject to fee regulation," they announced. The minister exploded the earlier administration for not keeping an open outline to regulate private school tuition.

The terrible situation of public education facilities inspired many parents to select private schools, said that "those who claimed to bring a education revolution did not make a real improvement in government schools." The remedy determines that committees at the school level should decide at the proposed fee by July 15; Committees at the district level should take a decision by 30 July; And final decisions should be made by September. If a decision is not taken in 45 days, the matter will be sent to the appellate committee. 
According to Sood, the bill was written after discussion with parents and education experts to protect the interests of children and prevent commercialization of education.
