The Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025, which aimed to regulate fee in private schools in the national capital, will not be implemented in the academic year 2025-26, the Delhi Government told the Supreme Court on Monday.

During a hearing on petitions relating to implementation of the Act, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the Delhi Government, told a Bench of Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe that the law will not be enforced in the current academic year.

“When the matter came before us, our concern was the hurry in implementation. We would have set that aside. But they said we will do it from next year. To that extent our interference at this stage is over,” Justice Narasimha said.

“In view of the clarification of SV Raju that the legal regime will not be implemented with effect from 2025-26, no further orders are required,” the Bench said, leaving all issues open for being raised before the Delhi High Court, which is hearing petitions challenging the 2025 Act and its subsequent rules.
