What each screen asks

  2. Expenses. The costs to share between the flats. They are already ticked. Untick any cost that should not be in this bill.
  3. Income. You can skip this. If the society earned money, like hall booking or bank interest, tick it to make everyone's bill smaller.
  4. Water. How the water tanker cost is shared. Choose Equal split, or By meter reading if your flats have water meters.
  5. Corpus. You can skip this. Switch on Collect corpus this month to add a fixed amount for every flat towards the society's savings fund.
  6. Preview. Shows what every flat will pay. Check it, then tap Generate.

Then, payment details. Enter the society's UPI ID, UPI name and the due date. Residents pay to this UPI ID. Tap Confirm & generate.

Every resident gets the bill on their phone, with a PDF.

Nothing is sent until you tap Confirm & generate. You can tap ‹ Back to change anything, or Save draft to finish later.
