10 per cent of the annual tuition feeThe Act, officially notified on December 13, 2025, allows private unaided schools to charge development fees but strictly limits them to no more than 10% of the annual tuition fee. This cap ensures that schools cannot disguise profit-making under the guise of infrastructure or development. The law also mandates that all such charges be justified, transparent, and part of a disclosed fee structure approved by a School-Level Fee Regulation Committee. Surplus funds collected must either be refunded or adjusted against future fees. This provision is part of a broader push for accountability and fairness in school fee collection.
