Feature 4: New Page- Late Fine Collection

A new page, Late Fine Collection, has been added to the Library Module. This page enables librarians to verify the due amount and paid amount of a student and to collect or relieve fines for overdue library items. It functions as a centralized interface to manage fines for all items issued to a student.

Additionally, any fine paid by the student through the Issue/Return Collection page is reflected on this page. The primary objective of this feature is to verify if a student has already paid the fine while returning a book; if not, the librarian can collect the pending fine based on the item’s return date.

Navigation Path

Library Module → Task Menus → Late Fine Collection

Key Features

• Allows librarians to verify and collect late fines for issued and returned library items.
• Displays all issued items for a student along with their due date and fine details.
