You’re paying taxes. Schools are saving them. Elite schools in India charge ₹7 to 11 lakh per child per year. And here’s the kicker: most of them run as Trusts with TAX EXEMPTIONS. Parents bleed. Schools scale.👇🏻
1. Why so expensive? you ask. Simple: because it’s not a company. It’s a Non Government TRUST. • Registered under Indian Trust Act, 1882 • Gets 12A + 80G exemptions • Zero GST on fees You thought it was a school? Haha, no. It’s a tax optimized NGO for kids.
2. Middle class couple earning ₹50 lakh pretax in Bengaluru. Two kids in such schools = half their income gone. But hey think positive. They get free parent teacher meetings once a year.
3. 12A exemption Income (fees) exempt from tax if 85% is reapplied to education. • 80G registration Donors get tax deductions. So technically, it’s for charity And practically parents still pay ₹10–15 lakh/year per kid. Even charity schools feel like luxury clubs.
4. Government schools: kids don’t have Facilities . Elite IB schools: fees = a brand new Maruti Brezza every year. One India. Two planets.
5. Parents think they’re investing in child education. But what they’re actually funding is the most legit tax saving structure in India packaged with uniforms, cafeterias, and annual days.
6. Now many will comment that it’s all free market schools can charge, parents can choose. Go to government school etc.
RT if you agree Follow @ValueWithPrem for more hard hitting money truths. Maybe schools should start IPOs at least parents will get shareholder returns on the fees they pay?

If I was pure vegetarian looking to lose belly fat and gain muscle. I would consume exactly these 4 protein sources to hit my protein goal. I rank these foods at the end. Shared my quick air fryer recipe as well.
