Digital Office FAQs

Are digital fee receipts audit-compliant?

Yes. Digital receipts generated by SchoolDeck include a unique transaction ID, digital signature, and QR code, making them 100% valid for financial audits and tax purposes as per the IT Act.

What if parents don't have smartphones?

For the small percentage of parents without smartphones, you can still selectively send SMS or print documents. The platform identifies these users, allowing you to reduce the bulk cost while ensuring no child is excluded.

Is cloud-based data storage secure for my school?

Far more secure than paper. Physical registers are vulnerable to fire, theft, or water damage. SchoolDeck data is encrypted with SSL, backed up daily, and protected by Role-Based Access.
