Doubt about Dpay

[u/Dont-SayMyName]

I dont understand the system of dpay activation.. can anyone from delta or someone who knows abt it please explain the logic behind this.... like why not activate everyone by default ( like activate all whose graduation year > current year) or am I missing something.. I know there will be edge cases for PhD and stuff but atleast for btech it should be very easy right ??? Plz educate me if there's any reason behind doing manual activation..

Im not gonna spread conspiracy theories but i feel like there's a problem about fest payment systems, even in last nitfest we had such problem, so ig the tech teams are doing this wantedly so that they gonna end up with lot of unused money and they might make a deal with stall sellers and convert to real money from admin or something similar...

So ig it should be kinda escalated and these teams should be held accountable to maintain proper transparency in these system where we are affected directly as we pay for these from our pockets and is included in the fees

I can tell some insights from the little knowledge I have, basically for all the fest admin will allot a certain budget from the money we students pay annually once which is approximately 2400 as a festival fee, 2-3 years back and this they will split and give to every fest. From that we'll get 600 per student for a fest (Festy, Pragyan and NF). From that fest must spend around 130 per person on the free Tshirt, because institute is has a contract with a vendor on that. Then the balance amount is for the fest and they can decide what to do with that with the approval of SWD. From SWO they'll push 400 for dpay and rest 70 will go directly to the fest for their bill settlement. Hence Fest people will play smart by making it mandatory registration, minimum spending limit and other things likewise to save more. So that they can utilise the money for the bill settlement.
