Telangana directs private schools to disclose fees or face action
Telangana is a state with many private schools.
The state government has given those private schools a new rule.
Every private school must show exactly how much money it charges for each class.
These fee details are for the school year 2026-27.
Schools have to put the fee information on their notice boards.
They also have to post it on their school websites.
And the information must go on the government's education website as well.
An official named E Naveen Nicolas, who is in charge of schools in the state, announced this on Friday.
If a school does not follow the rule, it can get a warning notice and face action from the government.
This makes it easier for parents to know what a school charges before they decide to join.
The Telangana government directed private unaided schools to display class-wise fee details for the 2026-27 academic year.
Fees must be shown on school notice boards, school websites, and the schooledu.telangana.gov.in education department portal.
State Director of School Education E Naveen Nicolas announced the directive on Friday in Hyderabad.
Non-compliant schools face show-cause notices and action under existing rules, including Rule 11.
Schools must also upload governing body-signed documents used to fix class-wise fees under Rules 16 and 18 of GO Ms. No. 1, dated January 1, 1994.
