According to the Fee Regulating Authority (FRA), the management of the private colleges are permitted to charge up to 5 times the fees of a regular seat, for the seats that are under the quotas of institutional or NRI.
An official from the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) explains that since these seats require high fees, they're not taken, hence they are returned to the respective colleges after the common admission rounds.
