Fee Instalment Reminder RCS Template for Coaching Institutes
A ready-to-adapt RCS message for coaching institutes, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send before an instalment due date. For coaching institutes, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps students and parents informed without a phone call. It can be sent manually from a panel at first and automated later through an API.
Regular updates on tests, schedules and performance keep students engaged through a long course.
The RCS Template
Fee Instalment Reminder
Dear Parent, instalment {no} of Rs. {amount} for {student}'s {course} course at [Business Name] is due on {date}. Please pay at the office or online.SMS fallback (India, DLT format)
Dear Parent, instalment {#var#} of Rs. {#var#} for {#var#}'s {#var#} course at [Business Name] is due on {#var#}. Please pay at the office or online.Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {no} | No | 2 |
| {amount} | Amount | 15,000 |
| {student} | Student | Rohan |
| {course} | Course | NEET |
| {date} | Date | 25 Oct |
Filling in each placeholder
- No (sample: 2): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Amount (sample: 15,000): Write amounts as Rs. 1,499 rather than with the rupee symbol, which forces Unicode encoding in SMS and shortens each part to 70 characters.
- Student (sample: Rohan): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
- Course (sample: NEET): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Date (sample: 25 Oct): Write dates in an unambiguous form such as 14 Oct or 14 Oct 2026; avoid formats like 10/11 that customers read differently.
This template has 5 placeholders and a body of 149 characters before values are filled in. RCS card descriptions can be longer than SMS, but the first line should still carry the key information, as previews are truncated.
Category and Approval
Service updates like this suit RCS well because a card can carry buttons such as confirm, reschedule or get directions. The message must still relate to the customer's existing transaction.
Compliance Checklist
- Promotional rich cards go only to customers who have agreed to receive them.
- Your brand (name, logo and description) is verified with the RCS provider before launch.
- Suggested replies and actions are short (25 characters or fewer per chip) and each one leads somewhere useful.
Rules to keep in mind for Coaching Institutes
The Ministry of Education's 2024 guidelines for coaching centres and the CCPA guidelines against misleading coaching advertisements (2024) restrict claims about results, rankings and selections. We only publish results data the institute can document, with student consent.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our RCS compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Keep one purpose per message; if you need to send a reminder and a document, the reminder should still make sense on its own.
- Use the customer's name and a reference number so the message is easy to trust and to search for later.
Where this message fits for Coaching Institutes
Students and parents search for tutors or coaching for a specific exam or subject, compare results, faculty, batch timings and fees, and often attend a demo class before enrolling. Decisions cluster around exam calendars and the start of school terms.
Search ads capture exam-specific searches; YouTube and Instagram short videos show teaching quality; WhatsApp is used for demo class bookings and doubt-clearing; SMS sends class schedule changes and results; email shares study plans and parent reports.
Campaign ideas that pair with this template
- Free demo class campaigns before each new batch
- Exam countdown tips series for enrolled students
- Results celebration posts (with consent) to attract the next intake
