Private school management seek probe on income certificates

The process of admission to schools under Right to Education (RTE) Act will go on as per schedule despite private school management association has petitioned district administration seeking a probe on the veracity of income certificate submitted by the parents.

District authorities said if parents have submitted certificate with false income details we will initiate action against such parents after cross-verification. However all private schools have been directed to adhere to the admission schedule.

CBSE, ICSE and State Private Schools Management Association president R Raghu, on behalf of 150 institutions in Mysore, Mandya, Chamarajanagar and Kodagu districts, has appealed respective deputy commissioners seeking a probe into the genuineness of income certificates. For the sake of getting seats in private schools, a majority of parents have submitted certificate saying their income are only between Rs 8000 and 11,000 annually, which we are doubting.

"We want district administrations to probe thoroughly into it because actual beneficiaries will be deprived of seats," said Raghu.

Association president Raghu stated we have sought deputy commissioners to intervene as the issue is serious. We have submitted copies of income certificates to deputy commissioner in Mysore to get it verified as we are suspecting it because majority of parents who have sought seats under RTE are well-off, he claimed adding we are awaiting direction from administration to proceed further.

Deputy Commissioner Ramegowda told TOI said we are probing into the allegation by the private school management association. I am getting the copies of income certificates submitted by the association verified by respective thasildars. The top bureaucrat however said the process of admission will continue because genuine applicants should not be inconvenienced.

"If any parent/guardian has given false income details they will be prosecuted besides denying the seat to their wards," the DC confirmed.

As per schedule school admission is expected to commence from March 15.
