When students pay different amounts

Updated 8 August 2026 · App version 3.2.180

One student pays 1000, another 2000, another nothing — each can have their own amount. Old dues are recorded the same way.

Two different things. "জন প্রতি টাকার পরিমাণ" (amount per student) is one figure for the whole class. "আলাদা টাকা" (own amount) belongs to one student — when it is set, that student pays their own figure instead of the class one.
To change one student: open the fee, tap the "টাকা কালেকশন" (Collection) tab, tap the student's name, choose "এই শিক্ষার্থীর জন্য আলাদা টাকা ঠিক করুন" (Set a separate amount for this student), type the figure and tap "সেভ করুন" (Save).
Doing that one by one is painful when many students differ. A new update adds "সবার আলাদা টাকা একসাথে বসান" (Set everyone's amount together) on the fee's "বিস্তারিত" (Details) page — it opens the whole class on one page, one box beside each name.

This one-page list has not reached every phone yet; it is coming in an update. Until then use the per-student route above — the result is identical, it just takes longer.
Two rules on that page. Leave a box empty and that student pays the class amount (the box shows a faint "ক্লাসের ৮০০"). Type 0 and nothing is asked of that student. Tap "সেভ করুন" once at the end and every change is saved together.
Use the same mechanism for dues carried in from before you started using the app — do not inflate the monthly fee. Tap +, create a separate fee named "পূর্বের বকেয়া" (previous dues), then give each student the figure they actually owe.

Do not fold arrears into the monthly fee. You lose the record of what that month's fee actually was, and receipts print the wrong figure.

Common questions

Can I just use the waiver instead?

No, and this is the most common mistake. "মওকুফ" (waiver) means you asked for the money and then forgave it — the books record it as money forgiven, and you must enter it again every month. "আলাদা টাকা" means that money was never charged in the first place, and it is permanent once set. For a student whose fee is simply lower, always use the own amount. Never enter both: the total drops twice.

While recording old dues, what about students who owe nothing?

Put 0 in their box — nothing is asked of them and they add nothing to the outstanding total. A new update makes this easier still: you can put 0 as the "জন প্রতি টাকার পরিমাণ" itself, so everybody starts at 0 and you only fill in the students who actually owe. Working from that direction is far less typing.

Once I set an own amount, does it carry into September?

No. An own amount belongs to that ONE fee — set it on August's fee and it stays on August's fee. Each month is entirely separate; neither last month's amount nor last month's unpaid balance moves forward by itself. After you create September's fee you set that student's amount again.

I cannot find the "own amount" option.

Two possible reasons. Location: it is not on the fee-creation page — open the fee, go to the "টাকা কালেকশন" tab, tap the student, and it is at the very top of the sheet that opens. Permission: in an institutional class only an admin or head teacher may set amounts, so for everyone else the button is not shown. In your own personal classes you always can.
