  • 29 Ready
  • 14 In testing
  • 2 Planned

Ready: built and passing its tests on our development system. In testing: built and in testing; anything that does not pass testing will be removed. Planned: not built yet; no date promised.

Books and entries

  • Company set up with the standard account groups

    Ready

    Start a new company in minutes with the groups an Indian accountant expects.

  • Keyboard-first entry for sales, purchase, receipt, payment, contra and journal

    Ready

    Enter vouchers as fast as in the software you know, without the mouse.

  • Day book and ledger statements

    Ready

    See every entry of a day or every movement of an account.

  • Trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet

    Ready

    Your reports are ready the moment an entry is saved.

  • Correct by reversal, never by deleting

    Ready

    Mistakes are fixed openly, so the books always tell the true story.

  • Lock past periods and close the year

    Ready

    Nobody can change a month you have already closed.

  • Tamper-evident edit log

    Ready

    Every change is recorded with who and when, and any later tampering shows up.

  • Choose what you keep books for, and switch off what you do not use

    In testing

    Personal books, a business or a CA firm: each sees only the screens it needs, and a part you do not use can be switched off.

Stock

  • Stock items, units and stock groups

    Ready

    Keep your item list the way your business counts it.

  • Item lines on sales and purchase with GST filled in

    Ready

    Pick the item and quantity; the tax lines fill themselves.

  • Stock summary at weighted average cost

    Ready

    Closing stock flows into your profit and loss and balance sheet.

GST

  • Several GST registrations in one company

    Ready

    Run every state registration from the same books.

  • GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B prepared from your books

    Ready

    No retyping: returns are built from the entries you already made.

  • GSTR-1 file for the GST portal's offline upload

    In testing

    Download one file per month, or per quarter for quarterly filers, and upload it instead of filling the tables by hand.

  • GSTR-2B match with your purchases

    Ready

    See which supplier bills are missing, extra or different before you claim credit.

  • Input tax credit rules, including blocked credit

    Ready

    Credit you cannot claim is kept out of your return.

  • Mark a return filed and see what changed after

    Ready

    You are told when an entry touches a period you have already filed.

  • Changes to filed invoices go into the amendment tables

    In testing

    Correct a sale after filing and the next return carries the amendment and the tax difference.

E-invoice and e-way bill

  • E-invoice number and signed QR code on your invoices

    In testing

    Generate the e-invoice from the sales entry, no second portal.

  • E-way bill generate, update and cancel

    In testing

    Create the e-way bill for a sale straight from the invoice.

Bank

  • Bank statement import (CSV, Excel, MT940)

    Ready

    Bring in your bank lines in the format your bank gives you.

  • Automatic matching and bank reconciliation statement

    Ready

    Matched lines tick off by themselves; you check only the rest.

  • Split matches: one bank line to several entries, or several lines to one entry

    Ready

    A cheque that pays three bills, or two deposits for one invoice, still ticks off in one step.

  • Draft entries from unmatched bank lines

    Ready

    Turn a bank line into an entry with the ledger suggested for you.

AI assist

  • Purchase bills read into draft entries

    Ready

    Upload a PDF bill and get a draft purchase entry with doubtful fields flagged.

  • Drafts queue: nothing posts without your OK

    Ready

    AI prepares, you decide. Every suggested entry waits for a person.

  • Ledger suggestions for bank lines

    Ready

    The likely account is offered from your own past entries or the party the bank line names, and only when the match is clear.

TDS

  • TDS on entries, with challans and what they paid

    In testing

    Deduct, deposit and track TDS in the same books.

  • Challans as a spreadsheet file

    In testing

    Download every challan with its tax, interest and what it paid, for your CA.

  • Quarterly TDS statement data and certificates

    In testing

    Quarter figures and deductee certificates ready for filing.

Payroll

  • Employees, salary parts and monthly payroll with attendance

    Ready

    Run the month's salaries, including half days and changes.

  • Payslips and the salary entry in your books

    Ready

    Each payroll posts its own accounting entry; staff get payslips.

  • PF, ESI and professional tax files

    In testing

    Contribution files for the month, built from the payroll.

  • Salary TDS and the yearly certificate per employee

    In testing

    Tax on salary worked out and certified for each employee.

  • Gratuity, bonus, labour welfare fund and staff loans

    Planned

    The rest of Indian payroll, in the same place.

For CA firms

  • One workspace for many client companies

    Ready

    Move between your clients' books without signing in again.

  • Client people upload bills but cannot post

    Ready

    Clients send documents; your staff keep control of the books.

  • Choose what each client may do: view only, or also upload

    In testing

    Give a client just the reports, or let them send bills and bank statements too, and change it at any time.

  • A firm head who sees every client company

    In testing

    One senior person can read all clients' books without being added to each company.

  • Clients confirm or question entries

    In testing

    Your client can tick off entries or ask a question on one, and you answer in one place; the books never change.

  • Practice home with every client's open work

    Ready

    See what is waiting across all clients at a glance.

Moving in and safety

  • Import from Tally: masters, opening balances and vouchers

    In testing

    Bring years of books across, checked to the paisa.

  • Export a company and import it again

    Ready

    Your data is yours: take a full copy whenever you want.

  • Sign in with a passkey

    Ready

    No password to remember or steal; one sign-in for the IT-Labs products.

  • Daily backup in India with eight-year retention

    Planned

    Your books are kept as long as the law asks, in India.
