Private school associations in Punjab oppose the state government's ordinance capping annual fee hikes at 5%.
The ordinance mandates refunds of any excess fee collected over the past three years.
Schools warn the move could impact financial viability and the education ecosystem.
The National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA) threatened to approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court if dialogue fails.
They seek talks with the government to resolve the issue.
