Srinagar, Dec 8: The Fee Fixation and Regulation Committee (FFRC) issued a clarification on Monday, warning schools across Jammu and Kashmir against early fee charging for the 2026–27 academic session. “Schools must adhere to this strictly, and any violation will be taken seriously,” the FFRC cautioned in a statement.
“Some complaints have been received against various schools located in the winter zone of J&K UT with respect to the fee being charged after the change of academic session starting from November every year, as ordered by the Government. These schools, after the session starts in November, are demanding the fee for the year 2026–27,” the FFRC stated.
It emphasized that the academic year and financial year are two different things. The financial year starts from 1st April every year, as a result of which the fee structure of the schools has been fixed accordingly. It is therefore informed that the fee fixed by the Committee is based on the financial year starting from 1st April onwards.
Further, it said that schools are directed not to charge any fee for 2026–27 from November onwards, but should charge the fee in March 2026 for the year 2026–27. This will be in accordance with the fee structure fixed by the Committee. [KNT]
