Quick Answer: For Kochi schools researching school fees in dps (Delhi Public School fee structures), the typical annual range is Rs. 60,000–1,50,000 depending on grade and board. A modern school ERP like TACHY automates this entire lifecycle — fee collection, receipts, reminders, transport dues, and CBSE/ICSE/State Board report card generation — starting at Rs.49/student/year with a 3-7 day go-live, free data migration, and training included.
When parents search for school fees in dps, they are usually looking for a breakdown of tuition, term fees, transport, and activity charges across Nursery to Grade 12. In Kochi, DPS-affiliated schools follow CBSE guidelines but set their own fee structures, often ranging between Rs. 60,000 and Rs. 1,50,000 annually. Additional costs include admission fees (Rs. 25,000–50,000 one-time), transport (Rs. 1,500–3,500/month based on distance), and uniform/books (Rs. 10,000–20,000/year). For school owners, the challenge isn’t just setting fees — it’s collecting them on time, reconciling accounts, and generating compliant receipts without manual errors.
Most vendors charge per module or per student per month, leading to unpredictable bills. TACHY uses a flat, transparent model: Rs.49/student/year for the full suite — 25+ modules covering fees, exams, attendance (face recognition), transport GPS tracking, HR & payroll, library, inventory, and a parent app. There are no hidden setup fees, no per-module upsells, and no annual price hikes. For a 1,000-student school, that’s Rs. 49,000/year — roughly the cost of one part-time accountant — while automating the work of three.
Fee collection in India isn’t one-size-fits-all. CBSE schools need term-wise splits (Quarterly/Half-Yearly/Annual), ICSE often follows two semesters, and Kerala State Board may require custom installment plans. TACHY handles all three natively: - Define fee heads (Tuition, Transport, Lab, Exam, Activity) with due dates per class/board - Auto-generate GST-compliant receipts (CGST/SGST/IGST) with school logo and PAN - Schedule WhatsApp/SMS/email reminders at 7/3/1 days before due date - Apply late fees, sibling discounts, staff concessions, or scholarship rules via simple config - Real-time dashboard: collected vs pending, class-wise, mode-wise (UPI, card, cash, bank transfer) - Parent app shows dues, payment history, and downloadable receipts 24/7
This eliminates spreadsheet juggling and reduces fee arrears by 30–50% in the first term.

Generic ERPs built for corporates or foreign curricula fail on Indian compliance. TACHY is built for Indian schools — by a team that has onboarded 300+ schools across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. We understand: - Kerala State Board’s unique promotion rules and mark entry formats - CBSE’s new assessment structure (periodic tests, notebook, subject enrichment) - ICSE’s project/internal assessment weightages - Local language support (Malayalam circulars, fee receipts in English + Malayalam) - UPI QR on every receipt, auto-reconciliation with bank statements
And because we’re cloud-first, there’s no server to maintain, no VPN, no “IT guy” needed. Updates roll out weekly — you always have the latest features.
Yes. You can define separate fee heads, installment schedules, and receipt formats per board or even per class. The system applies the correct structure automatically based on the student’s board mapping — no manual overrides needed.
Our liveness-detection algorithm works indoors and in covered outdoor areas with standard 2MP IP cameras. We’ve stress-tested in coastal Kerala schools during monsoon — false reject rate stays under 0.8%. Offline mode queues logs locally and syncs when connectivity returns.
No. Rs.49/student/year is locked for the contract duration (typically 3 years). Renewal stays at the same rate unless you add new modules, which are optional. No surprise hikes, no per-user license fees.
