Fees Collection

About Fees Collection


In Fees Collection module, you can effortlessly manage student Fees Collection and maintain fees related data. Fees Master is created session wise so you need to enter Fees Master data for every session. In this model, we collect the fees, adjust the fee discount and see the fees collected by the student from the payment id.

Fees collection module workflow:- First we will configure the Fees Type, Fees Group, Fees Master and Fees Reminder and prepare our fees structure for the current session and then we will collect fees of the students then we will search fees payment and search due fees and check all reports and Students can also look for details of fees and can pay fees.

We will create fees structure in smart school by using, Fees Type (under fees type we collect different types of fees by the school like Admission Fees, Months wise Fees, Uniform Fees, Exam fees, Library Fees, Sports Fees, Transport Fees etc.). Fees Group (we use fee groups to create different types of groups.) You can then allocate / allocate this fee group to the entire class-section or a particular student. You can create a fee group as an instalment.

Here's a more detailed example to illustrate how fines work in both Per Day Enabled and Per Day Disabled modes.


Scenario:  A charges fines for overdue fees based on the number of days a fees is late. The system allows two configurations:

  1. Per Day Disabled – Fine is charged in slabs, but not per day.
  2. Per Day Enabled – Fine is charged daily.

Case 1: Fine Calculation (Per Day Disabled)

When the per-day fine is disabled, enter 10 in the 'Total Overdue' input field and 100 in the 'Fine Amount' input field. As shown in the screenshot below, if the due date (03/10/2025) has passed, a charge of 100 will be applied 10 days after the due date.

If you add the next slab, enter 20 in the 'Total Overdue' input field and 200 in the 'Fine Amount' input field. A charge of 200 will be applied 20 days after the due date.

Similarly, if you add another slab and enter 30 in the 'Total Overdue' input field and 300 in the 'Fine Amount' input field, a charge of 300 will be applied 30 days after the due date. If no further fine slabs are added, the fine will remain 300 onwards.




Case 2: Fine Calculation (Per Day Enabled)

When the per-day fine is enabled, enter 10 in the 'Total Overdue' input field and 100 in the 'Fine Amount' input field. As shown in the screenshot below, if the due date (03/10/2025) has passed, a daily fine of 100 will be charged from the 21st day onwards.

If you add the next fine slab by entering 20 in the 'Total Overdue' input field and 200 in the 'Fine Amount' input field, a daily fine of 200 will be charged from the 21st day onwards.

Similarly, if you add another fine slab by entering 30 in the 'Total Overdue' input field and 300 in the 'Fine Amount' input field, a daily fine of 300 will be charged from the 31st day onwards.

If no further fine slabs are added, the fine of 300 per day will continue from the 31st day.
