Maharashtra’s SARAL system holds student, staff and school data for the state. The recurring work is not the filing — it is that the state’s roll and the school’s own drift apart between updates, for ordinary reasons, and the difference has to be explainable.
Procedures, portal screens and deadlines change, and several have changed recently. Confirm the current circular from the issuing authority before acting on any timing or step here.
Maharashtra schools have maintained state data long enough that the question is no longer whether to keep it current. It is what to say when the portal shows 1,284 students and the school’s own register shows 1,291.
A student leaves in September and is removed from one system before the other. A mid-year admission is entered locally and updated on the portal a fortnight later. Neither is a mistake at the time; both become discrepancies at the point of a return.
Holding one roll with dated movements in and out — rather than a current headcount — is what makes the difference answerable. The question at an inspection is rarely "why do these disagree" but "what changed between these dates", and only a movement log answers it.
Qualification, appointment, posting and attendance for teaching staff are requested at a cadence most school software is not built for, because it treats staff as users rather than as records. Held as records — with leave, load and qualification history — a staff return becomes a query rather than a reconstruction.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
No. State portals do not generally expose an integration, and a vendor promising automatic submission is usually describing screen automation that breaks on the next portal change. Export in the fields the portal asks for is the realistic position.
The one your school sits in — Maharashtra administers through nine, and it belongs on the school record rather than being assumed at the trust level for a group.
With dated movements. Admissions, transfers and withdrawals recorded against the roll turn two headcounts into an explained difference.

Pricing is on the page, in the open, with the counting rule written next to it. Nobody has to book a call to find out what it costs.
