CBSE pushes schools to expand digital payments, use BBPS for fee collection

Panchkula, Oct 3 (UNI) The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has asked its affiliated schools to expand digital payment facilities, including UPI and RuPay, across campuses and adopt the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) for fee collection as part of the Centre’s push to promote cashless transactions.
In a circular, the board advised schools to enable digital payments at key touchpoints, including fee counters, canteens, and libraries, while institutions in areas with poor internet connectivity have been asked to consider low-bandwidth and offline solutions such as UPI Lite, UPI LiteX, and UPI 123PAY.
Schools have also been encouraged to integrate digital payment systems with their existing ERP platforms to streamline recurring transactions, including staff salary payments.
