It is felt that CBSE has issued a circular to this effect:

CBSE/AFF/CIRCULAR/2011 CIRCULAR NO:2 DATED: 21^st February, 2011

The school can increase fee with consent of parents.

The verdict of Punjab and Haryana high court, the private schools must provide details of their expenses in 'Form VI' to justify any kind of increase in the tuition fee. It is further provided as a condition that only those schools which have submitted information in Form VI as per provisions of Rule 158 of the 2003 Rules within a stipulated period shall be allowed to enhance the fee.

Madras High court ruled on Friday that Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools are bound go follow the state-level statutory fee fixation committee.

Thus you may check with CBSE, state-level statutory fee fixation committee.

Valuable advice of learned experts/members is sought.
