Why Khaata

Everything a GST-compliant book of accounts needs

Built for India, GST-first

GST, TDS, HSN/SAC and place-of-supply rules are designed in from day one - not bolted on afterwards.

One platform, every device

A full web app, a packaged Mac & Windows desktop app, and a native mobile app that does real work.

Real double-entry books

Behind every simple screen: balanced journals, locked periods, trial balance, and year-end close.

Tally-style fast entry

Keyboard-first, field-to-field data entry - raise invoices and bills without touching the mouse.

Multi-company & CA-ready

Run several businesses under one login, or manage dozens of client books from one dashboard.

Secure & compliant

Role-based access, an immutable audit trail, and DPDP-ready data export and erasure.

What makes Khaata different

Most accounting tools force a trade-off. Khaata doesn't.

Billing apps are quick to open but stop short of real accounting. Legacy desktop software is powerful, but keeps your books on one Windows machine. Global cloud suites are capable, but built for a different market first, with India's GST and TDS rules added on afterwards. Khaata is built to end that trade-off.

Tally speed meets the cloud

A genuine keyboard-first entry layer - Enter to advance field-to-field and line-to-line, Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to save, Ctrl/Cmd+D to duplicate a line - reachable from any device. Most cloud apps make you click through every field.

Simple on top, real accounting underneath

As quick as a billing app, but every transaction posts to a true double-entry ledger with trial balance, period locking, and a proper year-end close to Retained Earnings.

GST and TDS built into the core

GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, e-invoicing (IRN) and e-way bills - plus automatic TDS withholding with Form 16A and Form 26Q. Depth most SMB apps skip entirely.

One system across desk, counter, and field

A full web app, a packaged Mac & Windows desktop app with direct thermal receipt printing, and a native mobile app that raises invoices, reconciles bank, and runs payroll - not a read-only companion.

Built for CA practices, not just single businesses

An attention-sorted multi-client dashboard, cross-client bulk actions, reusable staff permission templates, and global search across every client record.

Retail and B2B from one catalog

Thermal 80mm receipts for the counter and A4 GST tax invoices for formal billing - same items, same stock, same books.

Your data, your control

Multiple companies under one login, an immutable audit trail, and DPDP-ready one-click data export and erasure. No lock-in.

Who it's best for

Built for the way Indian books actually get kept

CA & accounting practices

Run every client's books from a single attention-sorted dashboard, act across clients in bulk, and give staff exactly the access they need.

Service businesses & agencies

Professional GST invoices, recurring billing, automatic TDS handling, and multi-currency for overseas clients - all in one place.

Accountants moving off Tally

Keep the keyboard speed and double-entry rigor you rely on, and gain the cloud, a native mobile app, and end-to-end GST automation.

Growing SMBs beyond Excel or a billing app

Real books, inventory valuation, and financial reports - without Tally's learning curve or a Windows-only desktop.

Retail + wholesale hybrids

Thermal receipts at the counter and A4 GST invoices for B2B, drawn from the same catalog and stock.

Multi-company owners

Operate several businesses under one login and switch between them instantly.

01 GST Compliance

GST compliance that's actually built in

Every invoice, return, and filing is designed around India's GST rules - not retrofitted. Raise compliant tax invoices, generate returns, and push e-invoices without leaving Khaata.

02 Sales & Invoicing

Raise invoices, get paid, track every rupee

From the first quotation to the final receipt, sales documents move through Khaata in a click - and every invoice shows exactly what's still owed.

  • GST tax invoices with quantity, rate, discount, tax and HSN - plus round-off and service-vs-goods modes
  • Record a payment in the same step as raising the invoice - cash, bank, UPI, or cheque
  • Credit notes, and a full pipeline of quotations, proforma invoices, sales orders and delivery challans
  • Recurring invoices on a schedule, and reusable packages for common line items
  • Automatic status tracking - Sent, Partially Paid, Paid - with balance-due always visible
03 Purchases & Expenses

Vendor bills and TDS, handled automatically

Track every vendor, bill, and payment against the same GST engine as your sales side - with TDS withheld the moment you pay.

  • Vendor management with GSTIN, opening balances, and a default TDS section per vendor
  • Purchase orders that convert directly into bills, with over-billing protection
  • Payment-out to one or many bills at once - TDS is computed and withheld automatically
  • Direct expenses by category with optional input-GST capture and printable vouchers
  • Debit notes for purchase returns, and running vendor statements
04 Banking & Reconciliation

Reconcile your bank in minutes, not days

Import a statement and let Khaata suggest the matches - accept, categorize, or set a rule so it never asks twice.

  • Import statements (CSV / OFX) with automatic de-duplication
  • Smart reconciliation - ranked match suggestions against invoices, bills, and payments
  • Quick-categorize lines straight to the ledger - interest, bank fees, and more
  • Reusable match rules by amount, date window, or counterparty
  • Finalize a statement only when the variance hits exactly ₹0.00
05 Inventory

Stock and cost of goods sold, valued correctly

Track goods with FIFO or moving-average valuation, and let every sale post the right cost automatically.

  • Automatic Cost of Goods Sold booked the moment a tracked item sells
  • Stock adjustments for damage, loss, or revaluation - posted as a balanced journal
  • Stock-on-hand and inventory valuation reports, with a full per-item movement ledger
06 Accounting

A real general ledger behind every screen

Every transaction in Khaata posts to a proper double-entry ledger - so your books always tie out, and year-end close is a single step.

  • Ready-to-use India-standard chart of accounts, seeded in one click
  • Manual journals with automatic double-entry enforcement - debits always equal credits
  • Fiscal years and periods you can lock to freeze finalized months
  • Trial balance on demand, and a full audit-friendly transaction record
  • Year-end close that carries net profit or loss to Retained Earnings automatically
07 TDS

TDS withheld automatically, not calculated by hand

Khaata treats TDS as core accounting, not an afterthought - sections, thresholds, and certificates are all built in.

  • TDS section master - India defaults (194, 194A, 194C, 194H, 194I, 194J, 194Q, 194O) plus custom sections
  • Automatic withholding at vendor-payment time, honoring thresholds and lower-deduction certificates

  • P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow for any period
  • General Ledger and Account Statement views, per account or per customer/vendor
  • AR/AP aging, sales by customer and item, and a GST tax summary (output vs input)
  • Export any report as Excel or PDF, or save a view to re-run later
09 Multi-Currency

Bill overseas clients without breaking your books

Raise foreign-currency invoices and let Khaata handle the INR conversion, exposure, and revaluation.

  • Currencies and exchange rates per organization, manual or feed-sourced
  • Multi-currency invoices and bills that post the correct INR equivalent
  • FX exposure report - open foreign receivables and payables revalued as of any date
  • FX revaluation that posts an unrealized gain/loss journal and reverses it next period
10 Payroll

Run payroll and post it straight to the ledger

From employee master to payslip, payroll in Khaata is built on the same statutory defaults as the rest of your books.

  • Employee master with PAN, PF/ESI, tax regime, CTC, and salary components
  • India-standard pay setup - Basic / HRA / Special Allowance splits and PF/ESI/TDS rates
  • Monthly pay runs that auto-seed a line per employee and post straight to the ledger
  • Payslip PDFs with a full earnings, deductions, and employer-contribution breakdown
11 CA Practice Mode

Run every client's books from one dashboard

Built for practices managing dozens of client books, not just a single business - with the tools to act across clients at once.

  • Cross-client dashboard, sorted by what needs attention - overdue invoices, unreconciled lines, pending returns
  • Cross-client bulk actions - push pending e-invoices for many clients in one go
  • Global search across every client's customers, vendors, invoices, and journals
  • Reusable staff permission templates and instant client switching

Your books, protected and yours to keep

Role-based access

Multi-tenant isolation

Every organization's data is strictly separated, whether you run one company or fifty client books.

DPDP-ready export & erasure

Export all of an organization's data as one bundle, or anonymize personal data on request - books stay balanced.
