Step-by-Step Guide: Understanding Fee Receipt vs Fee Structure

Step 1: Know the Difference

Before uploading your documents, understand that Fee Receipt and Fee Structure are two different documents. Uploading the wrong one may delay your application.

Step 2: What is a Fee Receipt?

• A Fee Receipt is a document given by your college after you have paid your fees.
• It shows:
  • Your name
  • Amount paid
  • Date of payment
  • Receipt number (if available)
  • College stamp or signature (if applicable)

Step 3: When to Upload a Fee Receipt

• Upload the Fee Receipt if you have already paid your college fees.
• Make sure the receipt is clear and all details are readable.

Step 4: What is a Fee Structure?

• A Fee Structure is a document issued by your college that shows the total fees for your course or academic year.
• It explains the fee breakdown, such as:
  • Tuition Fee
  • Examination Fee
  • Laboratory Fee
  • Other applicable charges

Step 5: When to Upload a Fee Structure

• Upload the Fee Structure if the scholarship portal specifically asks for it.
• Ensure the document is the latest one issued by your institution.

Step 6: What if Your Fees Have Been Waived?

• If your college has waived your fees or you are not required to pay them
• Please contact your faculty members or institution authorities to obtain a document confirming your fee waiver. The document must clearly state that your fees have been waived. 

Step 7: Check Your Documents

Before uploading, make sure:

• The document is clear and readable.
• It belongs to the current academic year.
• The correct document is uploaded in the correct field.

Step 8: Upload the Correct Document
