Collect
Take a monthly fee payment from a family or a member, give the receipt, and keep track of what you collected today.
What it does
- Search by family or by member (name, number or phone). The pending total, advance and each pending month are shown.
- Quick amounts: 1 month, or All pending.
- Tick months to pay those first; otherwise the oldest months are paid first. Extra money is kept as advance.
- Mode: cash, UPI, bank or cheque, with a reference (UTR or cheque number) for non-cash.
- Where is the money? Choose In my hand, your own UPI or bank, or a masjid account. Cash goes to In my hand unless you change it; other modes go to the masjid’s main account.
- After saving, the Payment received sheet shows the months paid, with Share on WhatsApp and PDF.
- If nothing is pending, the whole amount is taken as advance for future months.
- My day: what you collected today, your cash in hand, and Hand over.
- Whether you collect from families or from members depends on the masjid’s billing setting.

Questions
The family wants to pay for one particular month only. Can I do that?
Yes. Tick that month in the list. The amount changes to that month’s total and the payment goes to it first.
The money was paid into my own GPay. What do I choose?
Choose your own UPI account under Where is the money?. If it is not there yet, add it first in My money with + Account. It then shows as money you are holding until you hand it over.
Can families pay online themselves?
They can pay by UPI or bank transfer from the MARHABA side of the app and send proof; staff then check it in App payments. Card or instant online payment of dues is not available yet.
