What the app does not do

So you can plan around them: the things this app leaves to the government portals, your CA, or other tools.

#E-invoicing (IRN and signed QR)

The app does not connect to the Invoice Registration Portal, so it cannot get an IRN or the signed QR code. If your turnover makes e-invoicing compulsory for you, generate the IRN on the IRP and keep it with the invoice.

#Filing returns for you

It makes the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B files and figures. It does not log in to the GST portal or file anything. You, or your CA, upload and file on gst.gov.in.

#Generating e-way bills

It makes the file for the e-way bill portal. The e-way bill number itself is generated on the portal.

#Things not in the GSTR-1 file

  • Exports (Table 6A) must be added on the portal with the shipping bill details.
  • Nil-rated, exempt and non-GST supplies (Table 8), such as bills of supply, are not included.
  • Debit notes are not supported as a document type.
  • Advances received before invoicing are not tracked.

#Full accounting

There is no double-entry ledger, balance sheet, bank reconciliation or journal entries. It covers invoicing, receivables, purchases, expenses, stock counts and GST. For the rest, give your CA the CSV exports.

#Several people, or several computers

There are no logins or user roles, and the app only opens on the computer it runs on. One computer holds the books; see moving to a new computer.

#Income tax

The income tax helper estimates tax for FY 2025-26, for someone under 60. It does not file your return or produce the ITR file the portal takes. See Income tax helper.

#Stock

Stock is one count per product. There are no batches, expiry dates, serial numbers, warehouses or stock valuation.
