CBSE schools told to accept fee via digital mode from January

Similarly, the CBSE has directed principals to make all the payments for their various services, procurements, wages to contractual workers and other transactions cashless.

The schools have also been asked to promote cashless transactions and motivate students to do the same by creating awareness among people about it. “Schools may interact with the parents during the parents teachers meeting to spread awareness about the benefits of non-cash transactions and motivate students of senior classes to undertake promotional initiatives in their neighbourhood to promote cashless transactions,” said the circular.

At present, most schools offer non-cash modes for fee payment.

Usha Ram, DPS World Foundation, has welcomed the move. “It’s a good initiative as now everything is going cashless. Some parents might face problem but then they have to learn this method for their ward,” said Usha.
