About Rakhat

Rakhat is an accounting and GST platform for Indian kirana stores, wholesalers and service shops. It creates GST tax invoices with CGST, SGST and IGST calculated automatically, for B2B and B2C, as PDFs in seconds, and includes optional inventory tracking with a history of who changed what, expense tracking with profit and loss insights, and a purchase register for input GST. An Android app supports billing at the counter.

A GST intelligence layer adds bill OCR that extracts GSTIN, amounts and tax breakup from a photographed supplier invoice, advice on whether the 1 percent composition scheme would save money, input tax credit reconciliation against what suppliers filed, and an ITR-ready PDF package for a CA. GSTR-1 exports cover B2B, B2C and HSN summaries as CSV for review before portal filing. Owner, accountant and viewer roles keep margins hidden from staff.
