Imagine schools for little kids in Ahmedabad are being checked because they might be charging too much money.
These schools are supposed to ask for permission to charge fees, but many didn't.
Now, people are looking into 75 of these schools to see if they followed the rules.
If they didn't get permission, they could get in trouble, like having to pay a fine.
The government wants to make sure that schools are fair about how much they charge.
