At least 22 students of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) have been issued notices of action against them, following disruptive activities during the Government of India - Post Matric Scholarship (GOI-PMS) protest on March 23-24. Of these, 18 have been fined Rs 1,000 each. Students said they did not expect the action.

The institute is still facing implications of the protest by students over issues related to GOI-PMS which went on for several months, last academic year. While a committee formed to enquire into the protest has already submitted its report with a recommendation to increase funding, another independent committee constituted to investigate the forceful trespassing to occupy the office of the registrar in the month of March has now presented its findings, following which the action has been taken against students who were found guilty.
