Parents fret as Bengaluru schools offer EMI schemes to meet steep fee hike
BENGALURU: With no fee cap or regulation in place, private schools in Bengaluru are not only hiking annual fees steeply but are now tying up with private financiers to offer EMI schemes to parents. The move, flagged by parent groups, highlights the growing commercialisation of school education and the state government's continued inaction despite repeated demands for intervention. Parents lament that by introducing finance-backed EMI options, schools are turning basic education into a debt-driven service. Many argue that this is a way to normalise exorbitant fees rather than address the root problem — the absence of a regulatory framework to keep education affordable. In Bengaluru, most private schools charge anywhere between Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh just for nursery admissions — and the fees only keep rising as the child moves to primary and high school. This amount, however, doesn't cover everything. Parents are made to pay up to Rs 30,000 separately for transport, uniforms, books, extracurricular activities, and other add-ons. Speaking to TNIE, parents said that private schools in the city suggest they tie them up with some finance companies that often charge high interest rates, making it difficult for families to repay the loans. Offering loans, collecting school fees in EMIs pushing parents into debt Many parents, desperate to secure admission or continue their child's education, are lured into signing agreements without fully understanding the terms which pushes them into a cycle of debt. However, a representative from a private school in Jakkur said the EMI schemes are being introduced as a way to support parents who may find it otherwise difficult to pay the full fee at once. 'We are forced to bear the pressure of high-interest repayments, which often leads to financial stress. In most cases, families we know have even reported harassment by finance company agents when they struggle to make payments,' Shalini Kamath, one of parents whose son is in a well-known private school in Brookefield, said. Shalini said that a major issue is the lack of transparency in these school-financier arrangements. 'Parents are rarely given a clear picture of the loan terms, including interest rates or repayment conditions. Without this clarity, many end up committing to financial agreements they cannot afford,' she added.

RBI should increase gold-to-loan ratio to 85%, says Tamil Nadu MP S Venkatesan
MADURAI: MP S Venkatesan, during a press meeting here on Friday, said that the RBI should increase the gold-to-loan ratio amount to 85% of its market value and return the new circular regarding the repayment of gold loans. He added that he recently met Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and requested her to instruct the RBI governor to take back the new circular that was released on gold loan repayment. Following this, Sitharaman instructed the RBI that the draft regulations on gold loans do not impact small borrowers. Hence, the RBI should exempt those who have borrowed small loans up to Rs 2 lakh.' He further requested the RBI to increase the gold-to-loan amount up to 85% of its market value. Banks do not face any challenges in giving gold loans. The BJP government should right off 70 per cent of corporate loans. However, stringent rules should be implemented on the repayment of gold loans. Condemning the ASI for asking Archaeologist Amarnath Ramakrishna to revise his report on Keeladi excavation, Venkatesan said, 'Keeladi excavation findings are scientific evidence of Tamil ancient culture. In such a situation, it seems like the BJP is trying to hide the truth by asking Ramakrishna to revise his report.' He also stated that the CPM will organise rallies across the state from June 11 to 26 for addressing the people's issue.
