Fees

School fee management that does the arithmetic for you.

Set the fee once per class. Chalkbell works out every student's dues, with their concessions, instalments and late fines, and keeps one ledger the office and the accountant both trust.

What it is

Chalkbell is school fee management software built for Indian schools. It holds fee structures per class or fee group, applies named concessions and sibling or staff discounts per student, splits fees into instalments with due dates, adds late fines automatically, and prints receipts. Parents can pay from the school's parent app straight into the school's own Razorpay account, and every payment, cash or online, lands in the same ledger.

What you get

Fee structures per class

Tuition, transport, exam and other heads, grouped the way your school charges them. Change a structure and every student on it updates.

Concessions that stay correct

Named discounts per student (sibling, staff ward, merit, RTE) applied by the system, not worked out by hand at the counter.

Instalments and late fines

Monthly, quarterly or term instalments with due dates. Fines are added on the day a due date passes, using your school's rule.

Online payment to your account

Parents pay from the app. Money goes to the school's own Razorpay account, never through Chalkbell, and the receipt is issued automatically.

Receipts with an audit trail

Every receipt is numbered. A wrong receipt is voided with a reason, never deleted, so the ledger always adds up.

Defaulter lists and reminders

See who owes what, by class, in one screen. Fee reminders go to the parent app as a notification.

How it works

  1. We set up your fee heads, structures and concessions from your current fee chart.
  2. Students are imported from Excel and attached to their fee structure.
  3. The counter collects cash, cheque or UPI; parents pay online from the app.
  4. The accountant sees collections, dues and defaulters from one ledger.

Who it's for

  • Accountants tired of concession maths and disputed receipts
  • Principals who want fee realisation without phone calls
  • Schools moving from Excel or a separate fee software
  • School groups that need each campus's fees kept separate

Questions schools ask

Can parents pay school fees online with Chalkbell?

Yes. Parents pay from the school's parent app using UPI, cards or net banking through Razorpay. The money goes directly into the school's own Razorpay account and the receipt is generated automatically.

Does Chalkbell handle concessions and sibling discounts?

Yes. Concessions are named and attached to each student, so sibling, staff-ward, merit or RTE discounts are applied by the system every time a fee is due, instead of being calculated at the counter.

Can we collect fees in instalments?

Yes. Each fee structure can be split into monthly, quarterly or term-wise instalments with their own due dates, and late fines are added automatically after a due date passes.

What happens if a receipt is issued by mistake?

The receipt is voided with a written reason and stays in the record. Nothing is deleted, so the accountant can always explain the ledger.

Can we move our existing fee data from Excel?

Yes. Students and their details are bulk-imported from Excel, and we set up your fee structures from your current fee chart during onboarding.

Every module writes to the same student record, so nothing is typed twice.
