Petition Against 18% GST on Affiliation Fees by Educational Bodies

We urge the government to reconsider the recent GST Council clarification imposing 18% GST on affiliation fees charged by universities and educational bodies. These fees are essential for ensuring academic quality and standards, not for generating profit. 

The added GST burden will increase operational costs for institutions, making education more expensive for students, especially in smaller, non-profit organizations. This policy contradicts the goal of affordable education for all.

Let’s come together to demand the government exempt affiliation fees from GST to protect access to quality education. #NoGSTOnEducation #AffordableEducation #EducationForAll
