Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) has successfully integrated with Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) for payment of school fees from January 2024. By doing so, it has expanded the fee payment options for entire KVS community with 400 additional platforms, including Google Pay, PhonePe and Amazon Pay etc, along with various banks and NBFCs.
With this development, parents of over 1.4 million students enrolled in Kendriya Vidyalayas nationwide will have the convenience of paying the school fees seamlessly through BHIM UPI and other Bharat BillPay-enabled apps, like PhonePe, Google Pay etc.
Adding KVS as an education fees biller aligns with the Reserve Bank of India’s vision of expanding the scope of BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment System) to enhance digital empowerment across India’s educational landscape.
This step being a part of ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and ‘Digital India’ initiatives of Government of India, showcases the commitment to modern financial solutions, making the fee payment process more accessible and user friendly for the parents/guardians.
The motive behind this is to help parents/guardians of KV’s ward to access online payment facilities for remittance of fees.
Up till 2013-14, fees were being collected by the class teachers in all Kendriya Vidyalayas. From the academic year 2014-15, KVS had initiated an online solution for deposit of fees across all KVs pan India.
After integration with Bharat Bill Payment System, now the process of depositing fees has become even more easier and user friendly. This step marks a milestone in the digital transformation of fee payments for one of India’s largest school chain i.e. KVS.
