Easebuzz today said that over 20,000 education institutions across India are using its platform to manage digital fee collections and financial workflows. The milestone reflects the growing adoption of digital payment infrastructure by schools, colleges and universities seeking to simplify fee management and reduce reliance on manual collection processes.
India’s education sector is one of the largest and most diverse in the world, with over 400 million students being served each year through schools, colleges, universities and coaching institutions. Though technology has gradually transformed classrooms, examinations and administrative systems, fee management in many institutions continues to rely on fragmented systems involving cash counters, bank challans and spreadsheet based reconciliations. These processes often create operational inefficiencies and add to the administrative burden for institutional finance teams.
As institutions expand across campuses and manage increasing student volumes, the need for more streamlined fee collection and financial management systems has become increasingly important. Digital payment infrastructure is therefore being adopted by institutions to simplify collections and improve transparency across fee management processes. More than 20,000 education institutions across India ranging from schools and colleges to professional academies and multi campus universities are currently using Easebuzz’s Education Stack to manage fee collections, digitise financial workflows and simplify reconciliation and reporting processes.
Fee components such as tuition, hostel, canteen, examination, and transportation often follow different collection cycles, timelines, and operational workflows. This complexity impacts institutional efficiency while also creating friction for parents and students. As educational institutions expand into multi-campus and multi-location networks, the demand for digital-first experiences – particularly seamless online fee payments – continues to grow. However, many legacy systems used by institutions struggle to keep pace with this shift, often leading to delayed collections and potential revenue leakages.
Easebuzz Platform is addressing these challenges by facilitating centralised fee management with course, batch and semester wise fee configurations, automated receipts, real-time dashboards, instant settlements, and streamlined multi-campus reconciliation. Education Institutes can accept payments seamlessly through UPI, QR codes, cards, net banking, wallets and cardless EMIs, significantly reducing queues and enhancing transparency for parents and institutes alike. The platform also integrates AI-powered digital forms for admission and registration processes, allowing institutions to capture student information, collect documents, and accept payments in a single, unified workflow – thereby reducing paperwork and manual data entry.
Amit Kumar, Chief Technology Officer, Easebuzz commented “Educational institutions today need integrated SaaS solutions, not just basic payment collection tools, to automate end-to-end fee and admission management across multiple platforms and channels while delivering a seamless experience for students and parents. At Easebuzz, through our partnerships with NPCI, NBBL, Visa, Mastercard, and leading banks, we are enabling institutions to accelerate digital adoption while ensuring compliance, transparency, and simplified reconciliation for finance teams. Our plug-and-play SaaS solutions embedded with payments workflows support over 150 fee collection modes and flexible financing options, helping institutions streamline operations and scale efficiently.”
In addition to online payments, the platform supports in person fee collections through POS devices, BBPS integrations, QR enabled payment counters and soundboxes with audio payment alerts. The platform’s integration with DigiLocker also supports identity verification and academic document validation during admission processes. To address affordability challenges, the platform supports cardless EMI options, loan based fee financing and automated eNACH mandates, enabling institutions to offer structured payment options while ensuring predictable collections.
Institutions using the Easebuzz platform include Symbiosis International University, IIT Guwahati, Parul University, Euro School, VIBGYOR Schools, Pune University, D.Y. Patil University, Apollo University, NMIMS, Orchids International School and Delhi Public School.
