Delhi Government Pauses Private School Fee Regulation Law till 2027

The Delhi government has informed the Supreme Court that it will not implement the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025 for the academic year 2025–26, effectively deferring its operation till 2027.

The decision follows the Court’s concern over the hurried mid-session implementation of the law. 

While private schools welcomed the pause as a pragmatic step, parents’ groups stressed that unchecked fee hikes remain a concern and demanded financial audits and transparency.

The government clarified that the law remains valid and will be enforced after addressing procedural difficulties.
