Section 10 of DSEA : Section 10: Salaries Of Employees

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where Mr. Sharma is a teacher at "Bright Future Private School", which is a recognized private school in Delhi. The school's management has been paying its teachers less than what government school teachers earn. The teachers at Bright Future Private School receive lower salaries and fewer benefits such as medical facilities and pension compared to their counterparts in government schools.

The Delhi Education Department, upon reviewing the pay scales and benefits of private schools, finds that the "Bright Future Private School" does not meet the standards set by Section 10 of The Delhi School Education Act, 1973. Consequently, the Department issues a written directive to the school's managing committee to increase the pay and benefits of its employees, including Mr. Sharma, to at least match those of government school teachers.

The school is given a specific time frame to comply. If the school fails to meet these requirements, it risks losing its recognition status, which would affect its ability to continue operating. To avoid this, the managing committee decides to revise the salary structure and enhance the benefits for its employees, thus aligning with the provisions of the Act and ensuring better welfare for its staff.
