Schools FAQs
Can TallyPrime send fee balance reminders to parents?
TallyPrime tracks outstanding fee balances per student. While it doesn't send SMS directly, the outstanding balances report can be exported and used to generate reminder messages through your school's communication system.
Can we manage multiple schools or campuses in one TallyPrime?
Yes. TallyPrime Gold supports multi-company or multi-branch setups. Each campus can be managed as a separate branch with its own accounts, while consolidated reports are available across all campuses.
Does TallyPrime handle government capitation grants?
Yes. Government capitation grants are recorded as income in TallyPrime and tracked separately from fee income. Expenditure of capitation funds can be tracked against the government's prescribed expenditure categories.
