The Fee Collection Problem

Most institutes still collect fees manually — paper receipts, Excel sheets, and endless follow-up calls. This leads to lost receipts, calculation errors, late payment disputes, and hours wasted every month.

How Automated Fee Management Works

With AttendanceGuru's fee module, the entire lifecycle is digitized:

  • Create fee structures — tuition, transport, exam, lab fees with flexible categories
  • Auto late-fine calculation — configure per-day or flat-rate penalties that apply automatically
  • Online payment — collect via UPI, cards, net banking (Cashfree integration)
  • Digital receipts — instant receipt sent to parent's phone
  • Automated reminders — push notifications before and after due date

Key Features

Installment Plans: Let parents pay monthly or quarterly instead of lump sum. Set custom due dates for each installment.

Fee Defaulter Reports: Instantly see who hasn't paid. Send bulk reminders with one click.

Payment Modes: Accept cash (with manual entry), UPI, cards, and net banking. All tracked in one dashboard.

Real Results

Institutes using our fee module report:

  • 40% reduction in late payments
  • Zero receipt disputes
  • 2 hours saved daily on follow-ups
  • Complete audit trail for every transaction
