- Fee Collection · Schools, Colleges & Universities
Online fee collection for schools, colleges and universities without the bank queue.
An online fee collection system lets a school, college or university take tuition and admission fees over the internet instead of paper challans and bank queues. DeltaPay gives your institution a branded fee page, shareable payment links and and an API. Parents pay by Raast, card, JazzCash, easypaisa or bank transfer, and every payment reconciles against the student ID automatically.

What is an online fee collection system?
An online fee collection system is the software an educational institution uses to bill and collect fees digitally admission, tuition, examination, hostel, transport and everything else instead of printing challans that parents carry to a bank branch. The institution issues a digital fee voucher or payment link, the parent pays from a phone using Raast, a debit or credit card, JazzCash, easypaisa or a bank transfer, and the payment is recorded against that student’s ID the moment it clears.
The part that matters operationally is not the payment it is the reconciliation. A challan tells you money arrived somewhere; an online fee collection system tells you which student, which class, which campus and which fee head, in real time. That is the difference between an accounts office that spends the first week of every month matching a bank scroll and one that opens a report.
What challan-based fee collection actually costs you
Every institution we onboard describes some version of the same six problems. None of them are about technology they are about the week your staff loses, every single month.
A queue that costs you a week
Challan deadlines create branch queues on the 1st to the 10th of every month. Parents take leave to stand in them, and your accounts office spends the following week chasing the ones who did not.
Manual reconciliation, every cycle
A bank scroll arrives as a PDF or spreadsheet. Someone matches it line by line against the fee register, and a single mistyped roll number turns into a parent complaint two weeks later.
No proof of payment for days
A stamped challan stub is not a receipt in your system. Until the bank scroll lands, your office cannot tell a paid student from a defaulter so genuine payers get late-fee notices.
Cash sitting in the wrong hands
Fees collected at a counter or through a staff member’s personal wallet number are invisible, unauditable and a standing leakage risk. Your auditors flag it every year for a reason.
Overseas and out-of-city parents stuck
A parent working in Dubai or posted in another city cannot walk into a designated branch on the due date. Every one of them becomes a phone call to your accounts office.
No visibility until the cycle ends
Management cannot answer “how much of this month’s fee has come in?” in real time which makes salary planning, vendor payments and cash-flow forecasting guesswork.
What changes when fees move online
Every payment tagged to a student
Roll number, class, section, campus and fee head travel with the transaction. Reconciliation stops being a monthly project and becomes a report you open.
Parents pay the way they already pay
Raast from any Pakistani bank app, Visa/Mastercard/PayPak, JazzCash, easypaisa or direct bank transfer one fee page, every rail. No wallet the parent does not already have.
Fee notices that are also the payment
Send the fee link on WhatsApp or SMS with the challan. The parent taps, pays and gets an instant digital receipt no branch visit, no stamped stub to keep safe.
Recurring monthly fee billing
Set tuition to auto-bill monthly, quarterly or per term. The invoice goes out on schedule and reminders chase the unpaid ones for you, so your staff stops making collection calls.
Multi-campus, multi-account reporting
Run separate branches, sections or faculties under one institution and see collections split by campus, class and fee head or consolidated for the board.
T+0 settlement to your institutional account
Money lands in the school, college or university’s own bank account the next working day with a settlement report you can hand straight to your auditor.
Built for every kind of institution in Pakistan
A 90-student Montessori and a 12,000-student university have very different accounts departments but the same underlying problem. Both are supported on the same rails
Private schools & school systems
Monthly tuition, admission and annual charges across multiple campuses collected online with per-campus reporting and one consolidated settlement.
Colleges & intermediate institutions
Semester and term fees, board registration and examination fees, collected against the roll number so the exam cell knows exactly who has cleared dues.
Universities & degree-awarding institutes
Admission processing fees, per-semester tuition, hostel, transport and convocation charges — with an API your student portal can call directly.
Coaching centres, academies & madrasas
O/A-Level academies, MDCAT/ECAT and CSS prep instalments, tuition centres and madrasas billed on a schedule with automatic reminders instead of chase calls.
IT, vocational & skills institutes
Short-course and bootcamp fees, instalment plans and certification charges, with payment links you can drop into any admission WhatsApp thread.
Montessori, daycare & preschools
Small teams, no accounts department. A branded fee page and WhatsApp links replace the register, the cash box and the end-of-month tally.
Every fee head, on one page
Fee collection is never one number. Each head can be billed, tracked and reported separately so hostel dues never get confused with tuition arrears.
Admission & enrolment
Prospectus and application form fees, admission processing, security deposit, registration and enrolment charges, re-admission after a gap.
Tuition & recurring charges
Monthly, quarterly, term or semester tuition, instalment plans, late-fee surcharges, arrears and partial payments against an outstanding balance.
Ancillary & campus services
Hostel and mess, transport and bus routes, examination and board fees, lab, library and sports charges, uniforms and books, convocation and degree issuance.
Three steps to collect your next fee cycle online
Most institutions onboard between two fee cycles and run the first month in parallel with challans, then drop the paper.
Onboard the institution
One call plus KYC in the institution’s legal name registration or affiliation documents, NTN and the bank account fees should settle into. No setup fee.
Connect your fee data
Upload the student and fee-head list, or point your school ERP / student portal at our REST API. Either way, each payment carries the student ID back to you.
Send the fee link and get paid
Share the fee page or per-student link over WhatsApp, SMS, email or your portal. Parents pay, receipts issue instantly, and your dashboard updates in real time.

How it plugs into what you already run
Three deployment paths, depending on whether your institution has software, a portal, or a register and a very patient accountant.
No software? Use the fee page
Upload your student and fee-head list, and we generate a branded fee page plus per-student payment links. Share them over WhatsApp, SMS or email. Nothing to install, no developer needed.
School ERP or student portal
Your system POSTs a payment intent with the student’s roll number and fee head, redirects the parent to hosted checkout, and receives a signed webhook on success. See the webhooks guide for the signature scheme.
Recurring fee invoicing
Set monthly or per-term tuition to bill automatically with online invoicing. Invoices go out on schedule, reminders chase the unpaid, and receipts issue themselves.
Handling parents’ money, properly
Fee collection is a trust relationship before it is a payments problem. DeltaPay Global operates under State Bank of Pakistan regulation, processes cards on PCI-DSS-ready infrastructure, and settles into the institution’s own account — never a staff member’s personal wallet. Card numbers never reach your school software, and Raast and bank payments are authenticated inside the parent’s own banking app, so no credentials pass through you either.
Every transaction carries a timestamped, immutable record with the student ID, fee head, method and settlement batch attached — which is what your auditor, your board and, occasionally, a parent disputing a payment will all ask for. Read more on our security and compliance page
Fee collection FAQs for Pakistani institutions
The questions principals, registrars and finance directors ask us most. Don’t see yours? Ask the team directly.
What is an online fee collection system?
An online fee collection system lets an educational institution take tuition, admission and other fees digitally instead of through paper challans at a bank branch. Parents pay from a phone or computer using Raast, a debit or credit card, JazzCash, easypaisa or a bank transfer, and the institution receives the money with the student’s ID attached, so the fee register updates itself.
Can schools, colleges and universities in Pakistan accept online fee payments?
Yes. Any registered educational institution in Pakistan can accept digital fee payments through a payment gateway regulated under the State Bank of Pakistan. You onboard as a merchant in the institution’s legal name, fees settle into the institution’s own bank account, and every transaction carries an audit trail which is materially cleaner than counter cash for both your auditors and your board.
How do parents pay do they need a special app?
No. Parents open a link you send on WhatsApp, SMS or email, or visit your fee page, and choose how they want to pay. Raast works from any Pakistani bank’s own mobile app, so no new wallet or account is needed. Card, JazzCash, easypaisa and direct bank transfer are all on the same page.
How does the payment get matched to the right student?
Every payment link and API call carries your own reference roll number, registration number, class, campus and fee head. That reference comes back on the transaction record and on the webhook, so your fee register or school ERP can mark the student paid without anyone typing anything.
Can it handle instalments and partial payments?
Yes. You can bill a fee in scheduled instalments, allow a parent to pay part of an outstanding balance, and apply late-fee surcharges after a due date. Recurring invoices go out automatically on the schedule you set, with reminders for the ones still unpaid.
What does it cost a school or university?
There is no setup fee and no monthly subscription. You pay a merchant discount rate per successful transaction 2% on wallet payments and 2.5% on cards, with volume-based pricing for large institutions. High-volume fee collection is exactly the case where custom rates apply, so talk to sales with your annual collection figure.
Can parents pay school fees with JazzCash or easypaisa?
Yes both, plus Raast from any Pakistani bank app, debit and credit cards including PayPak, and direct bank transfer. They all appear on the same fee page, so a parent who only uses easypaisa and a parent who only uses a credit card can both pay the same voucher without you doing anything differently.
Does this replace our school management software or fee management system?
No, and it is not meant to. DeltaPay is the payment layer a State Bank regulated gateway that moves the money and reports whose money it was. Your school ERP or fee management system keeps owning students, classes, fee heads and the register. The two connect over a REST API with signed webhooks, so any ERP, LMS or student portal can create a fee payment, redirect the parent and receive confirmation programmatically. If you run no software at all, the hosted fee page and payment links work with no development.
Do tuition centres, academies and madrasas qualify?
Yes. Any registered educational institution can onboard O/A-Level academies, MDCAT and CSS coaching centres, IT and vocational institutes, madrasas, Montessori and daycare. The mechanics are identical; smaller institutions usually skip the API entirely and run on the hosted fee page and WhatsApp links.
What is the difference between a fee challan and an online fee voucher?
A fee challan is the printed slip a parent carries to a designated bank branch and pays over the counter. An online fee voucher is the same document delivered digitally usually as a link or QR code that the parent pays from a phone. Many Pakistani institutions run both at once: the printed challan carries a QR code, so parents who want the paper keep it while the payment still lands digitally and reconciles itself.
Is it secure enough for student and parent data?
Card payments run on PCI-DSS-ready infrastructure and card numbers never touch your servers or your school software. Raast and bank transfers are authenticated inside the parent’s own banking app, so no account credentials pass through you either. The institution stores nothing sensitive.
Can we run multiple campuses under one account?
Yes. Campuses, branches, faculties or departments can be tracked separately so each one sees its own collections, while management gets a consolidated view across the whole institution.
