KI Payments Gateway · now live

One payment gateway for all of Kumaraguru Institutions.

The problem

Hostel, transport, exams, events and alumni each needed their own payment setup, with gateway keys spread across teams and no single view for Finance.

What it does

Every campus application now collects through one gateway built on Razorpay. Payers pay by UPI, card or bank, every rupee settles into the institution's account, and Finance holds every control.

  • 1gateway for every application
  • 1institution account for every rupee
  • ✓Finance approves, limits and watches it all

What changes

From scattered payment setups to one gateway, with Finance in control

Before Every team on its own

  • Each application needed its own payment arrangement
  • Payment-gateway keys had to be shared with teams and vendors
  • No single approval before a new application started collecting
  • No common approval step for refunds
  • Reports gathered by hand from separate setups

Now One gateway, every control with Finance

  • One gateway for every application on campus
  • Teams and vendors never hold the keys
  • Finance approves an application before it takes a rupee
  • Every refund waits for Finance's approval
  • One dashboard and a daily report for everything
How it works

Four steps, with Finance's approval at the centre

No application collects money until Finance says yes.

1

Raise a request

Tell us what the application will collect payments for, roughly how many a month and the usual amount.

2

Finance approves

Finance reviews the request, approves it, and sets its account, limits and currencies. Nothing goes ahead without this.

3

The application is connected

The team or vendor connects the application and tests it with small trial payments, refunded automatically.

4

Payments go live

Real payments begin, settling into the institution's account, with a receipt for every one.

System flows

How money moves, step by step

Every payment and every refund takes the same path, through the gateway and through Finance's controls.

Payment A payer pays a fee

From the moment a payer clicks pay to the money landing in the institution's account.

PayerClicks pay in the application
Campus applicationAsks the gateway for a payment
KI GatewayChecks Finance's approval, limits and currency
RazorpayPayer pays by UPI, card, bank
Institution's accountMoney settles here
The gateway confirms the payment with Razorpay, tells the application, and issues a numbered receipt to the payer.

Refund Money goes back

No application can return money on its own. Every refund waits for Finance.

Campus applicationAsks for a refund
KI GatewayHolds it in the refund queue
FinanceReviews and approves
RazorpayReturns the money
PayerGets the money back
A refund receipt is issued, and the application and Finance's dashboard both show it as refunded.

Every morning Finance gets the day's picture

Nobody has to pull reports from separate accounts.

MidnightThe day closes
KI GatewayGathers every application's payments

The controls Finance holds

Teams build the applications. Finance holds every control.

Finance decides who may collect, how much, into which account, in which currency, and when money goes back. Nothing about the money happens outside Finance's control.

The control we have

One gateway, one set of rules, and one place to see every rupee collected for Kumaraguru Institutions.

Approves every application

No application takes a payment until Finance approves it, and Finance decides when it may take real payments.

Chooses the account

Finance decides which institution account each application's money settles into.

Sets the limits

How fast an application can collect, and how long its access lasts.

Enables each currency

An application accepts only the currencies Finance switches on for it. INR by default.

Approves every refund

An application can ask for a refund, but money goes back only after Finance approves it.

Can pause any application

If anything looks wrong, Finance suspends an application's payments at once and restores them when it's sorted.

Accept payments in any major currency

From a parent in Chennai to an alumnus in Toronto

Applications can accept Indian rupees and seven international currencies through Razorpay. Finance enables each currency for each application, and reports keep every currency separate, so rupee totals always stay clean.

Finance enables each currency

INR is on by default; any other currency only when Finance switches it on.

Clean reports

Rupee totals stay in rupees; other currencies are listed on their own.

Questions

Good to know

Where does the money go?

Straight into the institution's account, the one Finance chooses for each application. No team or vendor collects money into an account of its own.

Who controls the gateway?

Finance. Finance approves every application, chooses its account, sets its limits and currencies, approves every refund, and can pause any application at once.

Can an application give money back on its own?

No. An application can ask for a refund, but Finance approves every refund before any money moves.

Which currencies can we accept?

Indian rupees and seven international currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SGD, AUD and CAD. An application accepts INR by default, and other currencies only when Finance enables them for it.

Is this a new payment company?

No. It's built on top of Razorpay, an RBI-authorised payment aggregator that the institution already uses. Kumaraguru Institutions adds its own approvals, limits, dashboard and records on top.

Where can Finance see everything?

In one dashboard: every application, payment and refund, with a daily report every morning and monthly statements.

How do we get started?

Raise a request in the Payments portal. You can follow its status there, and you'll be told when Finance approves it.
