What does “Total Active Fine” represent in the fine settings?

The Total Active Fine setting puts a limit on the fines that are currently unpaid. It does not include fines that have already been paid.

The “Total Active Fine” setting makes sure that students cannot have too many unpaid fines at once. Once the limit is reached, no new fines can be added until some of the old fines are cleared.

Real-Time Example

• Fine Limit: A school sets a total active fine limit of ₹300.

1. Fines Given to a Student:
   • January: A late payment fine of ₹150 (unpaid).
   • February: A library fine of ₹100 (unpaid).
   • March: Another late payment fine of ₹200 (unpaid).
2. Total Active Fines:
   ₹150 (January) + ₹100 (February) + ₹200 (March) = ₹450.
3. What Happens Now:
   • The system stops adding new fines because the total active fines have crossed the ₹300 limit.
   • To add new fines, the student or parent must first pay some of the existing fines.
   • For example, if ₹150 is paid, the active fines reduce to ₹300, and new fines can be applied.
