Consumer Commissions Order Refunds in Education Fee Disputes in Delhi and Gurugram
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of parents seeking refunds from educational institutions. In Delhi, a coaching institute was ordered to refund Rs 25,000 with interest and pay Rs 10,000 compensation after denying a fee refund to a student who quit due to poor teaching and cancellations. In Gurugram, a school was directed to refund Rs 90,000 and pay compensation after refusing to return fees for two children whose admissions were canceled within 24 hours before any services began. Both rulings highlight consumer rights in education fee disputes.
