Delhi Government Order to Regulate School Fees from 2026-27
The Delhi government has made a new rule about school fees.
The rule will start with the 2026-27 school year.
Schools cannot raise their fees until the government approves a new three-year fee plan.
Until that approval, schools must charge no more than they charged on April 1, 2025.
This stops schools from suddenly charging very high fees.
If a school charged too much during the 2025-26 school year, the government may take legal action.
However, that action depends on the results of court cases.
Cases about school fees are still pending in the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court.
The rule aims to protect parents and students from excessive fee increases.
The Delhi Government introduced a new order to regulate school fees starting academic year 2026-27.
Until the fee for the next three-year block is approved, schools cannot charge more than the fee they charged as of April 1, 2025.
Exorbitant fees charged during the academic year 2025-26 will be dealt with according to law.
Any action on 2025-26 fees is subject to the final outcome of cases pending before the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court.
The order sets a three-year fee approval cycle for schools in Delhi.
