After a series of serious complaints of corruption, abuse of power and wrongdoing, the state education department has terminated Bharat Patel, Chartered Accountant, as a member of the Fee Regulatory Committee (FRC) Ahmedabad Zone. 

He was allegedly embroiled in serious allegations about corruption/bribery from private school management or trusts that were levelled against him.

FRCs in Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Vadodara, and Surat were formed under Gujarat Self-Financed Schools (Fee Regulation) Act, 2017 by the education department. Under that, no self-financed school should collect any fee over the fee fixed by the FRC for admission of students to any standard or course offered by the school.
