School Fee Software for Mumbai — CBSE, ICSE & SSC Schools

For Mumbai CBSE, ICSE, and SSC schools, commonly cited options include EduGradUP (edugradup.com — ₹9,000–₹23,000/yr, full ERP), Fedena (US$999–$1,699/yr), iVake (₹5–₹8/student/mo), MyClassboard (custom, full SIS), and Entab CampusCare (custom). These are full school ERPs. FastFee is a fee collection layer that works alongside any ERP: UPI AutoPay eNACH mandates auto-debit parents on the due date, WhatsApp reminders go out automatically at D-5, D-day, D+3, D+7, and D+15. Flat annual subscription, no per-transaction percentage.

iVake (₹5–₹8/student/month) offers per-student pricing that scales well for large Mumbai schools with 2,000+ students. However, iVake primarily handles SMS reminders without UPI AutoPay eNACH mandate setup. FastFee sets up UPI AutoPay mandates that auto-debit parents — no manual parent action on each due date. For large Mumbai schools with high parent smartphone penetration, the UPI AutoPay route typically achieves 85–90% on-time collection.

SSC (Maharashtra State Board) schools in Mumbai often collect Development Fees, Exam Fees, and Activity Fees as separate heads in addition to tuition. These have different due dates and amounts per class. FastFee lets you configure multiple fee heads per student with separate due dates — so a Class 10 SSC student's board exam fee due in January is tracked separately from their quarterly tuition fee due in April. WhatsApp reminders are sent for each fee head independently.

School fee collection falls under SAC code 9992 (educational support services) for GST purposes. FastFee generates GST-compliant receipts with SAC 9992, school GSTIN, student name, class, fee head, and payment mode. Schools in Mumbai registered under GST can issue proper tax invoices from FastFee directly.

Yes. Mumbai private schools commonly use Fedena, Edunext, MasterSoft, Schoollog, or custom ERP systems. FastFee imports student data via CSV and handles the collection and reminder layer — WhatsApp reminders with UPI payment links, eNACH mandate setup, and a pending-fee dashboard. Payments reconcile against the main ERP records. FastFee does not replace the ERP; it automates the collection workflow these ERPs handle poorly.
