Scholarships

Ad Hoc Fees

Now Schools need not collect unplanned fees in form of cash. They can be paid by parents from mobile just like any scheduled planned fees.

Part Payment

Parents can pay the school fees quarterly or monthly as per their convenience.

Multiple Fee Books

The institution can configure multiple fee books, so charges for the hostel, the library and other heads are billed separately from tuition and still roll into one consolidated report.

Rule Based Late fines

Late fines are charged to every student on a pre defined rules.

Multiple Cashiers

Multiple cashiers can use the system and transaction level reports can be extracted.

Cashier Time Cutoff

Cashiers collecting fees at the school counter can only open the cashier panel within the school hours you configure. Once the cutoff passes the panel closes, so no counter collection is recorded outside the working day.

Missing Transaction Capture

When an online payment reaches the gateway but does not post against the student, the cashier captures it in a single step from the payment capture page, keeping Vawsum reconciled with your gateway records.

Sequential Payment Enforcement

A month cannot be paid while an earlier month is still fully outstanding, so dues are cleared in order rather than parents paying the current month and leaving arrears behind indefinitely.

Previous Year Dues Block

Parents can be prevented from paying the current year's fees while any fee book from the previous academic year remains outstanding, so old arrears surface rather than being quietly carried forward.

Late Fine Logic Per Fee Book

Different fee books can carry entirely different late fine rules, so tuition, transport and hostel each follow the policy your institution actually applies to them.

Bulk Edit and Concession Templates

Edit standard fees for a whole class-section at once, and apply header-wise, month-wise discounts through reusable concession templates rather than adjusting students one at a time.

Role-Gated Concession Approval

Concessions can be restricted to specifically authorised users rather than every cashier - a concession cannot be applied without an approval attached to it, and the full grant is kept on an audit trail.

Audited Receipt Cancellation

Cancelling a system-generated receipt requires a mandatory reason, is flagged separately for audit, and the original receipt number can never be reused - so cancellations are visible rather than simply disappearing from the record.

Cheque Management

Cheques are recorded, tracked and settled through their own dedicated workflow, kept separate from cash, online and POS collections rather than folded into the same record.

Integrates with your Payment Gateway, Bank and POS Machine

Vawsum's ERP connects directly with 12 leading payment gateways and banks. Configure your merchant key and secret key and you can start collecting fees online in about 2 minutes. Receipts, ledgers and consolidated online plus offline reports are ready from day one - no development work and no waiting.

Frequently asked questions

If you have any doubts about the Fee Management System beside these, feel free to reach out to us

1. Can I opt for just the Fees Module?

Yes you can. You need not pick the other modules of Vawsum

2. Does it have Online Payment Gateway integration?

Yes. Vawsum integrates directly with Razorpay, PayU, SabPaisa, Easebuzz, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Bank, IDFC First Bank, Bandhan Bank, Indian Bank and Punjab National Bank. The integration takes about 2 minutes – you only need to configure your merchant key and secret key. We also support Razorpay and Axis Bank POS machines for card collections at the fee counter. See the full integrations list.

3. I do not have any Documents. Can I still go online?

We have a special module called Quick Fees for that, which lets you start collecting fees online without changing the rest of your systems.

4. Do you provide software for fees collection at counter?

Yes, our software support both cash and online fees collection.

5. Can we stop cashiers collecting fees outside school hours?

Yes. The cashier panel is restricted to the school hours you configure. Once the cutoff time passes, cashiers can no longer access the panel, so no counter collection is recorded outside the working day.

6. How do Parents pay fees?

Parents can pay in Cash at school. They can Online through the Web or App as well.

7. I have special rules for Late Fine. Can you configure?

Yes, we can customise the solution to your requirement

8. I collect fees in multiple instalments in a month. Is it possible?

Yes, our system supports multiple fees collection in a month. You can generate separate receipts for them as well.

9. How long does it take to go live?

We can configure the system in a few hours if we have all the data

10. Can parents skip a month and pay a later one?

Not while the earlier month is fully outstanding – the system enforces payment in sequence. Where the earlier month has been partly paid, the next month can be collected, so a family paying in instalments is not blocked while genuine arrears still surface.

11. Can we stop parents paying this year while last year is unpaid?

Yes. Parents can be prevented from paying the current year’s fees while any fee book from the previous academic year remains outstanding, so old arrears are dealt with rather than carried forward indefinitely.

12. Can different fee books have different late fine rules?

Yes. Each fee book can carry its own late fine logic, so tuition, transport, hostel and library follow the policy your institution actually applies to each rather than a single rule imposed across all of them.

13. Can we edit fees for a whole class at once?

Yes. Standard fees for a class-section can be edited in bulk, and concessions can be given across multiple headers and multiple months through reusable concession templates rather than student by student.

14. Can a receipt be cancelled after later months have been paid?

No. A receipt cannot be cancelled once a later month has been paid in full, which keeps the ledger consistent rather than leaving a gap in the middle of a paid sequence.

15. A parent pays only part of the amount. How is it applied across fee heads?

Automatically. The system distributes a partial payment across the fee headers itself, so the cashier does not decide which head to credit and two cashiers do not apply the same part payment differently.

16. We edited a fee header after a student had paid in full. Is collection blocked?

No. If a header amount is edited after full payment, the fee collection reopens and further collection continues against the revised amount – so a mid-year correction to a fee structure does not leave the student stuck as fully paid.

17. A payment was recorded against the wrong date. Can it be corrected?

Yes. The collected-on date can be edited after the payment has been recorded, so a receipt entered a day late reflects the date the money actually came in rather than the date somebody got to the entry.

18. What if an online payment does not show against a student?

The cashier can capture the missing transaction in a single step from the payment capture page, so the payment posts against the correct student and Vawsum stays reconciled with your payment gateway records.

19. Can we restrict which staff are allowed to grant fee concessions?

Yes. Concession authority can be restricted to specifically authorised users rather than left open to every cashier. A concession cannot be applied without an approval attached to it, and the full grant – who approved it, and on what basis – is kept on an audit trail.

20. What happens when a receipt is cancelled?

Cancelling a receipt requires a mandatory reason, and the cancellation is flagged separately for audit rather than simply removing the entry. The original receipt number can never be reused, so the numbering sequence itself shows exactly where a cancellation happened.

21. Can we track cheque payments separately from cash and online collections?

Yes. Cheques have their own dedicated workflow for recording, tracking and settling, kept separate from cash, online and POS collections rather than mixed into the same record.
