Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

School Registration & Affiliation
1. What legal entity is required to start a school in India?
Schools must be run by a registered Society, Trust, or Section 8 Company. We recommend a Trust or Society for non-profit status and eligibility for government grants. Our School Registration Services include complete entity formation and 12A/80G registration.
2. How long does it take to get CBSE affiliation?
The CBSE affiliation process typically takes 12–18 months from application to final approval, including infrastructure readiness and inspection. With our CBSE Affiliation Support, we streamline documentation and follow-ups to minimize delays.
3. Is RTE 25% reservation mandatory for all schools?
Yes, under the RTE Act, all private unaided schools must reserve 25% seats for EWS/DG categories with government reimbursement. Minority institutions may claim exemption. Our RTE Compliance Service ensures proper implementation and documentation.
4. What NOCs are required before starting a school?
You need land use certificate, building safety, fire NOC, sanitation certificate, and recognition from the state education department. For CBSE/ICSE, additional infrastructure compliance is verified during inspection. We handle all NOC and Recognition Applications.

Yes, but the school must be registered as a Trust/Society with Indian trustees in the majority. FDI is not allowed in school education. We provide specialized guidance under International School Setup Compliance for NRI/foreign promoters.
