Fees & fee collection
Fees.
From the fee head to the receipt — concessions, late fees, cash and online, one ledger behind every rupee — because we collect our own school's fees on this exact module.

Fees are where a school's trust is kept or lost — so the maths has to be one maths.
At the fee counter
Most schools run fees across a counter register, a spreadsheet of concessions, a separate list of defaulters and whatever the bank statement says — four tallies that never quite agree, so every month ends in reconciliation. A sibling discount is applied on one page and forgotten on another; a late fee is charged that should have been waived; a parent pays online and the receipt is cut twice. ScholaRise collapses all of it into one ledger: the head, the concession, the late fee, the payment and the receipt are the same record, scoped to one branch and one session — and these are our school's fees, every term, so we feel the off-by-a-rupee before you do.
-
Fee heads & terms
Define the heads a school charges — tuition, transport, term charges — and the terms they fall in, then map heads to terms once so every class inherits the same structure.
-
Classwise & per-student fees
Set the amount once per class — or per section where two sections diverge — then override a single student's line where a case genuinely needs it, without disturbing the class scale.
-
Concessions with approval
Percentage or fixed concessions — including automatic sibling and staff-ward discounts — routed through a one- or two-person approval workflow, with auto-approval below a configurable threshold and a full history trail.
-
Late-fee rules & waivers
Fixed, per-day, per-week, percentage or slab-based late fees with grace days and rounding — applied automatically past the due date, and waivable per term or as a full fee waiver when the situation calls for it.
-
Collection — cash & online
Collect a whole term or a single head, with custom and partial amounts, in any mode — cash, UPI, card, cheque, DD, bank transfer — and reconcile online payments into the same screen.
-
Dual payment gateways
Take card and UPI online through two configured gateways — Easebuzz and HDFC via Juspay — with the right one dispatched per branch, transactions tracked and webhooks reconciled back to the receipt.
-
Receipts & PDF
Every collection mints a unique receipt number and a print-ready PDF — fetched over a signed, expiring public link the WhatsApp invoice attaches, so a parent gets the document, not a screenshot.
-
Student fee ledger
An append-only ledger — charges, payments, concessions, waivers, adjustments, refunds and reversals — with a running balance per head and term, so a student's history is auditable, not reconstructed.
-
01 / 04
Scoped to one branch and one academic session. Every head, term, concession and collection belongs to a campus and a year — so a multi-campus trust keeps each campus's fees its own, and last year's numbers never bleed into this year's books.
-
02 / 04
One ledger behind every number. Defaulters, reminders and the automatic WhatsApp invoices read the same append-only ledger the counter writes to — there is no second tally to reconcile, because there is only one.
-
03 / 04
On the same web, iOS and Android apps. The accountant collects at the desk; a parent pays online from a phone; both land in the same receipt and the same balance. No separate fees login, no exported spreadsheet in between.
-

Within reach of Sol, the AI agent. The assistant that answers questions across the school sits over fees too — a quiet way to ask who is outstanding this term, not a fourth tool to learn.
Where this comes from
We cut our own school's receipts on this module, every term. That is a claim no vendor can borrow.
A gateway takes the money. It doesn't run your fees.
Razorpay or PayU collect a payment beautifully — but a payment is the last step of fee management, not the whole of it.
Gateway + spreadsheet / Tally
- Knows an amount — not your heads, terms or concession rules.
- Reconciliation to the student ledger is a manual evening in Tally.
- Defaulters, reminders and receipts are yours to chase.
- One gateway, bolted on, with its own dashboard.
ScholaRise Fees
- Heads, terms, classwise fees and concessions, applied per student.
- Every rupee lands on the student's ledger automatically.
- Session-aware defaulters, WhatsApp reminders and receipts, built in.
- Dual gateways and cash collection, all on one ledger across campuses.
Keep the gateway — we use one too. The difference is everything around it.
