FAQ

Questions from bursars and CFOs.

Which payment gateways are integrated, and can we use our own MID? +
Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, Easebuzz, BillDesk, HDFC Smart Hub and ICICI eazypay are integrated. Yes โ€” you can use your own MID with negotiated rates. We never mark up gateway fees.
Can we set different fee structures for different boards/programmes? +
Yes. Fee structures are defined per programme ร— class ร— academic year ร— stream. Mid-year transfers, scholarship awards and prorating are handled automatically.
Does GST e-invoicing work for our school? +
Yes for taxable items (transport, merchandise, summer programmes). Pure tuition is GST-exempt and excluded automatically. e-invoice IRN is generated via the GSP integration the moment receipt is issued.
How does the risk score for defaulters work? +
A score from 0โ€“100 computed from late-payment history, days past due, communication response, sibling status, and prior-term patterns. Updated nightly. Counsellors triage from highest to lowest score.
Is there an audit trail for waivers and refunds? +
Yes. Every waiver, refund and adjustment carries the requester, approver(s), reason code, supporting document and timestamp. Audit reports are exportable per period for statutory and internal audit.
