One agent. Your whole back office.
HisabKitab is a single bookkeeping agent that lives in WhatsApp. Here is exactly what each part does, and where you stay in control.
Bill extraction
Send a photo, a PDF, or a line of text. The agent reads messy receipts: faded thermal paper, handwritten totals, mixed Nepali and English, and pulls out the vendor, date, amounts, and VAT. When a field is unclear, it asks instead of guessing. Nothing is invented to fill a blank.
VAT & TDS
Nepal's 13% VAT, computed in whole paisa with integer math so totals always reconcile. It handles inclusive and exclusive pricing, checks input-credit eligibility (Rule 17 vs the abbreviated 17Ka bill, and the one-year claim window), and applies TDS on the VAT-exclusive base. Ambiguous cases route to a human accountant; it never estimates a tax number. See the Nepal VAT guide for the full rules.
Payments
Collect through Khalti and the sale records itself, exactly once, with an idempotency key so a retried message can never double-count. Every payment is verified against the gateway before it touches your books.
Reports
Clean PDF reports rendered only from validated data: VAT summaries, AR/AP aging by party, and month-end statements. If a figure can't be reconciled, the report holds it and tells you why rather than shipping a wrong number.
Invoices & corrections
Sales invoices carry gap-free sequential numbers per fiscal year, the way the IRD expects them. A confirmed invoice is never edited: a return or correction is issued as a linked credit or debit note, so the audit trail stays intact and your VAT nets out correctly.
Start with your real numbers
Switching mid-year? You are not starting from zero. Enter your existing open debtors, open creditors, and any carried VAT credit as opening balances, and your very first statement is accurate from day one. Every opening balance is yours to approve before it is saved, just like any other entry.
TDS deposit, never missed
TDS you withheld is due by the 25th, the same day as VAT. HisabKitab totals the TDS withheld for the month, double-checks the figure against your confirmed entries, and reminds you in time to deposit through eTDS. It prepares the number; you deposit it. Two deadlines, one calm reminder, zero late fees.
Log it late, file it right
A bill surfaced a week later? Record it on the date it actually happened. HisabKitab files it into the correct Nepali month automatically, flags it as backdated, and tells you exactly which return period to refresh. A future date is refused, because a financial entry should never be dated ahead of today.
The whole year, carried forward correctly
See your fiscal year at a glance: every month settled, the annual totals, and any excess VAT credit carried forward month to month the way the VAT Act intends. No spreadsheet, no manual carry-over, no credit quietly lost between months.
Ask your TallyPrime
Already keep your books in TallyPrime? Connect it once, no IT person needed: HisabKitab sends you a short code on WhatsApp, you type it into a small connector on the computer that runs Tally, and you are done. From then on you can simply ask: a ledger balance, who owes you, outstanding bills. Every figure is fetched live from your own Tally and independently cross-checked before it reaches you; if the numbers do not tie, you are told so instead of shown a wrong figure. And it is strictly read-only: HisabKitab can ask your Tally questions, but nothing can ever create, change, or delete an entry in your Tally. Your decades of records stay exactly where they are, on your machine, and nothing about Tally is ever exposed to the internet.
Reminders
Before the 25th of each Nepali month, the IRD filing deadline, the agent prepares your return, self-verifies the numbers, and nudges you to review and file. You file on the IRD portal yourself; it never files for you.
