A. RTE 25% Quota Admission & Reimbursement Compliance

5 Audit Controls
RTE-01 State RTE portal allotment letters & lottery selection list filed for current academic year
RTE-02 Income, Caste, BPL or Disadvantaged Group certificates verified against each student admission number
RTE-03 Zero tuition or capitation fee billed to RTE 25% quota students in the fee ledger
RTE-04 Monthly attendance of RTE students reconciled with UDISE+ and state reimbursement portal

B. Daily Fee Counter, Receipt Numbering & Cashier Day-Close

5 Audit Controls
FEE-01 Receipt book / digital receipt sequence is continuous with zero missing or duplicate receipt numbers
FEE-02 Cancelled or voided fee receipts retain the original copy with written reason and approver sign-off
FEE-03 End-of-day physical cash count matches total cash receipts issued (Cashier Day-Close signed)
FEE-04 UPI, QR, NEFT and cheque fee collections reconciled daily against bank settlement statement
FEE-05 Combined sibling payments allocate exact amounts and generate separate receipt numbers per child

How EdunodeX automates this: EdunodeX issues sequential numbered receipts on WhatsApp, splits sibling payments into individual receipts automatically, and runs a daily cashier cash-count reconciliation.

C. Concessions, Sibling Discounts & Waiver Approval Trail

5 Audit Controls
CON-01 Every sibling, staff-ward, or merit concession is backed by a signed management sanction note
CON-02 Concessions have explicit start and end dates so one-year discounts do not silently renew
CON-03 Mid-year fee waivers or late-fee write-offs carry Principal / Trustee approval before ledger entry
CON-04 Transport route changes and mid-session bus opt-outs are updated in installment dues with effective dates
CON-05 Refundable caution deposits are accounted separately from annual/tuition fee revenue

How EdunodeX automates this: In EdunodeX, fee waivers and ledger adjustments wait for an approver before they apply, with full start/end dates and an immutable audit trail.

D. Defaulter Register & Year-End Carry-Forward Integrity

5 Audit Controls
LED-01 Opening fee arrears brought forward from previous session match last year's audited closing defaulter list
LED-02 Class-wise fee structure and installment due dates match the fee schedule approved by management
LED-03 Overdue student ledger records parent follow-up calls and promised payment dates
LED-04 Transfer Certificate (TC) register confirms No-Dues clearance before TC issuance
LED-05 Total Demand − (Collected + Approved Concessions) = Closing Outstanding Dues across all classes

How EdunodeX automates this: EdunodeX carries forward last year's unpaid balances per student, pauses automated reminders when a parent gives a promise-to-pay date, and exports clean audit sheets.
