Delhi School Fees Law from 2026-27, Govt Informs SC

• Delhi government informed the Supreme Court that the new school fees law will be implemented from the academic session 2026-27.
• Additional Solicitor General SV Raju stated the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixing and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, will not apply to the ongoing 2025-26 academic year.
• The Supreme Court had previously advised against retrospective implementation of the law.
• The new law, notified in December 2025, aims to regulate private school fees in Delhi.
• The apex court deemed no further directions necessary after the government's clarification, directing future issues to the Delhi High Court.

Why It Matters: Delhi's new private school fees regulation law will commence from the 2026-27 academic session, not retrospectively.
