Direct UPI + UTR

  1. Student pays the library UPI ID in GPay / PhonePe / Paytm.
  2. Submits the UTR in Sanctuary (paste, receipt photo, or share from the payment app).
  3. Manager confirms or rejects under Pending UTR (bulk confirm available).
  4. If rejected, student resubmits the correct reference.

Payment Setup (managers)

Go to Profile → Payment Setup (also from Cash).

  1. Add a UPI ID for direct UPI + UTR.

On Android, saving a UPI ID may ask for Notification Access to suggest matches from bank alerts. On the website you confirm every UTR by hand. You can always confirm UTR manually on either platform.

Settlements

Cash and UPI stay with the library - Sanctuary does not move that cash. Direct UPI goes straight to your UPI / bank account.
