Punjab Orders Refund Of Excess Fee

In a significant move, the Punjab government has directed private schools to refund the excess fees charged from parents over the past three years. This decision aims to provide relief to parents who have been bearing the burden of exorbitant fee hikes. The state government has also introduced a cap on annual fee increases, limiting it to 5% to prevent arbitrary hikes. This move is expected to bring transparency and accountability in the fee structure of private schools in Punjab. The refund process is likely to benefit thousands of students and their families who have been affected by the excessive fee charges.
