Fee Automation

Let the system generate challans, apply late fees and chase defaulters on schedule.

What Fee Automation does

Once your fee policy is set, EDUBase can do the monthly routine itself: create the challans on a fixed date, apply the late fee after the due date (skipping weekends and holidays), and send defaulter reminders on the day you choose. Every automation ships switched off, previews before it acts, and shows its full run history.

Features

Everything inside Fee Automation

Scheduled challan generation

Set the generation day, due date, expiry, campus and class scope once; the challans are created every month on that date.

Parent alerts on generation

Optionally send the school's own SMS template and a Parents App notification when the scheduled challans are created.

Late fee automation

Apply your existing late fee policy on the due date, the day after, or after a grace period, with per-day fines that keep accruing up to the policy limit.

Holiday-aware runs

Fines never land on a weekly off or a Holiday Calendar date; they move to the next working day.

Preview before apply

Every automation has a preview that shows exactly which children would be affected and by how much, charging nothing.

Automatic fee defaulter reminders

Pick the day, hour, channels (SMS, WhatsApp, branded SMS, app) and recipients; the reminder goes out monthly by itself.

Two defaulter definitions

Chase everyone with a balance, or ignore families who have paid something this month.

Run history

Each run is logged with what it did, so a missed or double month can be traced in seconds.

Bulk generation without waiting

School-wide challan runs are queued in the background and you are notified in-app when they finish.

FAQ

Common questions about Fee Automation

Will it charge old challans the day we switch it on?
No. The first late-fee run looks at that day only; it does not go back over months of old challans.
What if the generation date is the 31st?
Dates in short months move to the last day of that month, so February is never skipped.
Is anything sent without our approval?
Every automation starts switched off, and reminders send only to the channels and recipients you tick.
