Seven Noida schools fined ₹1 lakh each for fee violations
Noida schools fined ₹1 lakh each for fee violations after parents raise hike concerns · businesstoday.in

In Noida, some schools got in trouble with the government.

The government makes rules about how much money schools can take from parents.

This year, schools were told they could raise fees by only 7.23%.

Seven schools asked for more money than the rules allow.

So each school has to pay a fine of one lakh rupees, which is a very big amount.

One of the schools also hid some fees and did not show its whole fee list online.

The government checked 45 schools because parents complained about high fees.

If a school breaks the rules again, it could face even bigger punishment.

Schools that took too much money may have to give it back.

Parents are still waiting to hear if they will get their money back.
