A survey in the following program shows that we are spending 20% of a person's income for educational expenses of a child!

Suppose a persons take home income is 10Lakh. He would put his/her child in a school where the average fees will be as follows.

School fees                           : Rs. 60K to 75K 
Bus fare                                 : 12K to 20 K
Extra Curricular                     : 25K (Dance / Karate / Drawing / Music / Tuition...)
Hobby class                           : 12K (Swimming / Skating / Sports ....)
Transport Expenses             : 5K 
Grooming and Accessories :12K
Books / Toys and Gifts          :12K

Total : 150K

So, I am sure I will be spending around 15% of income on my daughter itself.
This does not include birthday party, Medical and other function expenses.

Since I have not put my daughter in a school, I don't know the expenses! Once I get to know I will post the actuals.

This is another supporting study from UK,
