Does EDUBase support 1LINK fee collection?

Yes. Vouchers carry a consumer number that works through the 1Bill and 1LINK channels, reached via partner banks and aggregators such as HBL, Bank Alfalah, Meezan Bank, PayPro and KuickPay.

Is NBP cash management supported?

NBP is not among the banks listed for EDUBase bank collection. Contact sales to ask about it before planning around it.

Do parents still pay at the school counter?

Yes. The school keeps counter payments alongside bank collection.

Can a family pay twice by mistake?

A challan already paid answers as paid to any later bank inquiry, which protects against double charging.

Does it work for colleges and multi-campus groups?

EDUBase serves schools, colleges, academies and school groups, and each campus can have its own bank routing in its settings.

1LINK and Bank Fee Collection Integration

Q: Who sets up the bank connection?

The EDUBase team configures routing with the school's bank, shares test vouchers and confirms the inquiry and payment tests before vouchers go live.

EDUBase prints a bank-ready consumer number on every fee challan. When a parent pays through HBL, Bank Alfalah, Meezan Bank, PayPro, KuickPay or 1Bill/1LINK channels, the payment posts in real time with no manual entry.

How does bank fee collection integration work?

In general, a school fee voucher carries a unique reference that a bank or payment aggregator can look up. When a parent pays, the bank asks the school's system what is owed, then sends a payment confirmation. The school's software must answer both calls correctly and quickly, otherwise the fee office is back to matching deposit slips by hand.

In EDUBase, each challan prints a bank-ready consumer number. The parent can use it at a branch, ATM, mobile app or 1Bill/1LINK channel. When the parent pays, the bank calls EDUBase, the challan is marked paid and the finance ledger is updated, with no manual entry at the school.

Which banks and channels does EDUBase support?

Bank fee collection works with the partners below, and through them the 1Bill and 1LINK channels. If your school uses a different bank, or you are asking about a specific scheme such as NBP cash management, speak to sales before assuming it is covered.

HBL
Bank Alfalah
Meezan Bank
PayPro
KuickPay
1Bill and 1LINK channels, reached through these partners

What happens when the parent pays?

Bank inquiry and payment calls are answered in real time. The payment appears in Paid Challans and Payment History immediately, so the fee office does not key in a bank deposit slip.

A challan that is already paid answers as paid to any later inquiry, so a family cannot be charged twice. Fee payments also post to the finance ledger without re-entry.

Parents pay at a branch, ATM, mobile banking app or kiosk
The challan is marked paid automatically
Payment History and Day Wise Paid Challans show bank payments like any other payment
Counter payments can continue alongside the bank

How is it set up for a school or a multi-campus group?

Bank collection is enabled per school and per bank. Each campus has its own settings, including bank routing, so a group can route each campus as it needs.

EDUBase configures the routing with the school's bank, shares test vouchers and confirms the bank's inquiry and payment tests before vouchers go live.

How do you reconcile bank payments?

Bank payments are visible in Payment History and Day Wise Paid Challans, the cash-up report by day and by user. Fee reports export to Excel or CSV for your accountant or auditor.

Because fee receipts post to the double-entry ledger automatically, the finance team sees bank collections in the books without a separate entry.

What should you check before choosing a bank integration?

Ask each vendor how the integration handles duplicate payments, whether posting is real time, and who runs the bank tests. Confirm which banks and channels are actually live, and which are only planned.

Also check that the school can keep taking counter payments, and that old dues are correct on the first challan, since a wrong opening balance is paid at the bank just like a right one. For questions about a specific bank, call EDUBase sales on +92 300 0148829.
