Nidhi Books is journal-backed accounting reimagined for the small business owner. Create GST-compliant invoices with HSN/SAC and place-of-supply handling, capture TDS on every applicable payment, reconcile customer and vendor accounts, and pull live P&L, Cash Flow, AR/AP Aging and Sales Register reports. Export GSTR-1 (with B2B, B2C, CDNR and HSN summary), GSTR-3B summary, and TDS reconciliations (26AS / 26Q) as CA-friendly CSV — or take a period-close audit snapshot with a SHA-256 hash.

Watch it work

Watch the whole sales flow: quotation to credit note, on a phone

A full walkthrough of the Sales module in Nidhi Books, recorded on a phone: raising a quotation with line items, discount and GST, converting it to an invoice or sales order, issuing the invoice, recording a payment with TDS withheld and payment proof, customer credit, delivery challans, recurring invoices, refunds and credit notes. Spoken in Hindi.

अंदर क्या है

फ़ीचर जो अपनी जगह बनाते हैं।

GST-ready invoicing

Compliant invoices, quotes and credit notes with HSN/SAC, intra- vs inter-state CGST/SGST/IGST splitting, place-of-supply and UPI QR on the PDF.

Journal-backed, no headaches

Every transaction posts to the ledger. You see the simple form; the journal stays clean and auditable.

Live financial reports

P&L (accrual), Cash Flow, AR / AP Aging buckets, Sales Register and Stock Valuation — recalculated as you type.

GSTR-1 + GSTR-3B exports

B2B, B2C consolidated, Credit/Debit notes to registered customers, HSN-wise summary, and the GSTR-3B 3.1.a outward-supplies block — CSV in CA hand-off format.

TDS done properly

Capture TDS on customer payments (Form 26AS-style) and on vendor bills (Form 26Q). Section-wise summaries across 194C / 194J / 194I and more.

Audit-grade exports

Period-close snapshot: CSV manifest + PDF cover, signed with a SHA-256 hash. Statutory audits get the immutable trail they expect.

TallyPrime XML export

Export your masters and sales vouchers as TallyPrime-native XML. Your CA imports via Alt+O — no re-entry, no switching costs.

Ask your books from an AI agent (MCP)

A built-in MCP server lets Claude, Cursor or any MCP-capable agent read your invoices, bills, payments, customers, items, receivables ageing and GST summary with a personal API key. Read-only, limited to what your role can see, included at no extra cost.

Reports & exports

Built for the way Indian SMBs actually file taxes.

Specific, CA-friendly outputs that match what your accountant actually asks for at the end of the quarter — not generic dashboards. Everything below is shipping in Nidhi Books today.

GST & statutory reports

Tax-compliant outputs ready to file or hand off to your CA.

  • GSTR-1 export (CSV)

    Outward supplies — B2B, B2C consolidated (by state × rate), Credit/Debit notes to registered customers, and an HSN-wise summary. Section-headed CSV for direct CA upload.

  • GSTR-3B summary

    Section 3.1.a outward-supplies block with taxable value and CGST/SGST/IGST breakdown for the period.

  • Sales Register

    A chronological list of every invoice and credit note for the period with full tax breakup per row. Filterable by warehouse and period.

  • HSN-wise summary

    Quantity, taxable value and tax by rate aggregated by HSN, using date-aware tax rates so historical periods stay accurate.

  • Place-of-Supply handling

    Intra- vs inter-state detection drives CGST/SGST/IGST splitting on every line, every report.

  • TDS on AR (Form 26AS reconcile)

    TDS withheld by your customers on receipts, grouped by customer and section — line up cleanly with 26AS at year end.

  • TDS on AP (Form 26Q reconcile)

    TDS deducted on vendor bills, grouped by vendor and section — covers 194C, 194J, 194I-LB and more.

Operational & financial reports

The numbers you actually run the business on, between filings.

  • Profit & Loss

    Accrual-basis P&L. Sales minus COGS (from recorded bills) minus operating expenses. GST is excluded as a pass-through.

  • Cash Flow

    Cash-basis movement — inflows from customer payments and vendor refunds, outflows from bill payments, expenses and customer refunds.

  • AR Aging

    Receivables bucketed by days overdue (current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+) with per-invoice outstanding amount.

  • AP Aging

    Payables bucketed by days overdue, net of TDS deducted and vendor credit applied.

  • Stock Valuation

    Per-item on-hand quantity, unit cost and total stock value — shared with the Nidhi Inventory module.

Exports & data ownership

Get every record out — for CAs, for auditors, for your own systems.

  • Invoices CSV

    Full invoice list with number, date, due date, customer, status, kind, subtotal, discount, tax and total. Respects every filter on the list page.

  • Payments CSV

    Receipts list with date, customer, method, reference, amount, applied vs unapplied, TDS withheld and TDS section.

  • Customers CSV

    Customer master with display name, company, GSTIN, email, phone, payment term and state.

  • GSTR-1 CSV (CA hand-off)

    Same data as the on-screen GSTR-1, structured with section headers so your CA can drop it straight into their workflow.

  • Invoice PDF (Classic & Compact)

    Per-invoice PDF with two template strategies and an embedded UPI QR for fast payment.

  • Customer-portal PDF

    Share an invoice via a public token — your customer can view and download the PDF without an account.

  • Audit Export (period-close)

    A snapshot CSV manifest plus a PDF cover, signed with a SHA-256 hash. Becomes an immutable record of the closed period.

  • TallyPrime XML export

    Masters (parties, items) and sales vouchers exported as TallyPrime-native XML. Import via Alt+O in TallyPrime — your CA continues working in Tally while you run 399Apps. One-way export of masters + sales vouchers; does not sync purchases or payments.

ध्यान दें। On the roadmap (not yet shipped): Balance Sheet & Trial Balance, GSTR-2B / GSTR-9, e-invoice IRN, e-way bill, XLSX export. We will only show them here when they are real.

FAQ

Books — FAQs

Which GST reports does Nidhi Books actually generate today? +
GSTR-1 (B2B, B2C consolidated, Credit/Debit notes to registered customers, HSN summary) as both an on-screen report and a CA-friendly CSV; the GSTR-3B 3.1.a outward-supplies summary; a Sales Register; TDS-on-AR (Form 26AS reconciliation) and TDS-on-AP (Form 26Q reconciliation). GSTR-2B / GSTR-9 / e-invoice IRN are on the roadmap.
How do I export my data? +
Every list view (Invoices, Payments, Customers) exports to CSV with the filters you have applied. GSTR-1 has its own structured CSV with section headers. Invoices download as PDF (Classic or Compact, with UPI QR). For statutory audits we also offer a period-close Audit Export — a CSV manifest plus a PDF cover signed with a SHA-256 hash.
Does it handle TDS? +
Yes. You can record TDS withheld on customer receipts (with section codes for 26AS) and TDS deducted on vendor bills (for 26Q). Both produce section-wise summaries you can hand to your CA at year-end.
Can I self-host Nidhi Books on my own server? +
Yes. Every plan has a self-hostable equivalent. You get the same product, deployed on your infrastructure with full data ownership.
Is the team / user count limited? +
No. The ₹399/month cloud plan comes with unlimited users and unlimited exports. We never price per seat.
Do you offer migration from Tally / Zoho / QuickBooks? +
Yes. For Tally users, Nidhi Books exports your masters and sales vouchers as TallyPrime-native XML — your CA imports via Alt+O in TallyPrime, no re-entry needed. For Zoho Books and QuickBooks, we offer guided migration; write to [email protected] to scope it.
Can I connect Claude or another AI agent to Nidhi Books? +
Yes. Nidhi Books has a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Create an API key under Settings → Account → API keys and add it to any MCP client that can send a bearer token, such as Claude Code, Cursor or Claude Desktop. The agent can then look up invoices, bills, payments, customers and items, and pull your receivables ageing and GST summary. Access is read-only today, scoped to one organisation and to what your role can already see, and included in the ₹399/month plan.
Is my data safe? +
On cloud, your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, backed up daily, and isolated per tenant. On self-host, everything stays on your server.
