What does the bill proposes?
The bill proposes to establish three key committees: the Committee for Regulation on fees for school fees, the Appeal Committee of the District Fee and the Audit Committee.
It prohibits any school from collecting fees beyond what has been approved under it.
School level
Each private school must consist of a committee for regulation of fees at the school level every year on July 15. The committee will include five parents from the Association of Parents (PTA) selected by drawing land. It also includes at least two women and at least one other member of the planned caste, planned tribes or social and educational classes.
The committee will also include Deputy Directorate for Education (Doe). The chairman will be a representative of the school management, says the bill.
The school management must submit fees proposals until July 31 and have them approved by September 15.
Upon completion, the structure of fees will remain set for the next three academic years.
The decision of the Committee on the regulation of fees at the school level must come from the “injured group of parents”, which includes at least 15 percent of parents of a particular school. The school can then escalate the matter for the District Appeal Committee by 30 September.
£1- £10 Lakh fine for unauthorized increase in fees
Disputes must be resolved within 45 days at each appeal level. The Audit Committee has final power and its decision will be binding for three years.

AAP VS BJP

However, the opposition AAP killed legislation and described it as a “fraudulent account” that legalizes professional and secondary voice voices.

This bill is a small effort on our part in honor of the vision of Dr. Mukherjee and ensure that education does not become a burden.
