How Fees Work

Each student has a Total Fee and optional Discount. The effective fee is Total Fee - Discount. All payments made are subtracted from this to give the balance.
Fee balances are not scoped to the academic year — they reflect the student’s all-time balance. This is intentional so that carried-forward balances from previous years show correctly.

Recording a Payment

  1. Go to Fees
  2. Search for the student
  3. Click Collect Fee
  4. Enter amount, payment method, and date
  5. A receipt is generated automatically

Payment Methods

  • Cash
  • Online (UPI / Bank Transfer)
  • Cheque
  • PDC (Post-Dated Cheque)

Receipts

Every payment generates a numbered receipt. You can:
  • Print the receipt
  • Download as PDF
  • Share via WhatsApp
Customise the receipt title, prefix, logo, signature, and footer notes under Settings.

Late Fees

If enabled in Settings, a late fee is added automatically after the due day each month. Configure under Settings:
  • Late fee per month (₹)
  • Due day of month (e.g. 10th)

Installments

Define a custom installment schedule per batch under Fees → Installments. See Fee Installments.

Unverified Payments

Payments recorded as UPI or bank transfer that haven’t been confirmed show as Unverified. Admins can mark them verified once confirmed against the bank statement.

Payment Gateway Transactions

If your institute uses an online payment gateway, go to Fees → Gateway Transactions to view the settlement log including service charges and net settled amounts.

Fee Collection Chart

The dashboard shows collected vs pending for each batch. Alumni students are excluded from these charts.

Staff Payment Requests

When a staff member collects a fee, it requires admin approval before hitting the books. See Payment Requests.
