Talking to reporters here, Chavan said the process of formulating rules for adopting the law by the state is on.

He said discussions were on to finalise the income cap for weaker sections. "In the first year, the Act will be implemented for Class I," he said.

Chavan said creamy layer provisions would not be applicable for SC/ST/VJNT students.

The Act will be implemented in all schools, excluding the unaided institutions for minorities. There is also a proposal to set up a tribunal for monitoring the implementation of the Act.
