UPI AutoPay โ€” The Feature PayMyFees Doesn't Have

FastFee sets up UPI AutoPay (eNACH) mandates for each parent. Once authorized, the school fee is automatically debited from the parent's bank account on the due date โ€” no reminder, no follow-up, no default. This is a completely unique feature in school fee software in India. PayMyFees does not offer UPI AutoPay.
