About the SLFRC
The School Level Fee Regulation Committee (SLFRC) is a statutory and mandatory committee constituted under the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025. The committee has been established to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability in the fixation and regulation of school fees.
The SLFRC provides a structured platform where parents, teachers, school management, and government representatives come together to review and evaluate the proposed fee structure of the school. Instead of unilateral fee announcements, the process now follows a collaborative and legally defined mechanism, ensuring that fee revisions are justified, reasonable, and aligned with actual institutional costs.
