Fictitious Register Proceedings in a Madrasa

Question

In Bihar most madrasas are affiliated with the Bihar Examination Board. Besides the madrasa, the board also pays the teachers a certain amount. But if, owing to the high cost of living, the madrasa raises the salary from its side, then, if this becomes known, the board reduces the salary in accordance with the increased amount.
