Udhaar Khata Book — your bahi khata, on your phone

Khata is a free digital udhaar book for kirana stores, dairy and milk suppliers, chemists, hardware shops, tailors and anyone who lets regular customers pay later. Instead of a paper bahi khata that tears, goes missing, or gets argued over at the end of the month, you keep one running balance per person — what you gave, what you got, and exactly how much is pending today. It opens straight in your browser, works with no internet, and every rupee you record stays on your own phone.

How Khata works

  1. Add the customer

    Just a name is enough. Add their 10-digit mobile number as well if you want to send reminders later — it stays optional, and you can add it any time.

  2. Record udhaar and payments as they happen

    Tap You gave when goods leave the shop on credit, and You got when cash comes in. Add a short note like “2 kg atta” or “part payment” and set the date, so months later nobody has to remember what the amount was for.

  3. Check the balance, send the reminder

    Every customer shows a live pending figure, and the home screen totals up You will get and You will give across the whole shop. One tap opens WhatsApp with a polite, ready-written message carrying the person’s name and the exact amount.

Why shopkeepers keep udhaar here

Works with no internet

Entries save the moment you tap Save. A weak signal at the shop — or none at all — changes nothing.

Nothing leaves your phone

No account, no OTP, no server. Customer names and balances are stored only in this browser, on this device, and are never uploaded.

Reminders without the awkward call

The WhatsApp message is already written, with the name and pending amount filled in. You only press send.

Free, with no limits

Unlimited customers, unlimited entries, no monthly plan, no premium tier and no trial that runs out.

Questions people ask

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no OTP, no password and no email. Open the page and start adding customers.

Where is my khata data actually stored?

In this browser’s local storage, on this one device. That is why it works offline and why nobody else can see it — but it also means the data does not follow you to another phone, and it is not backed up anywhere. Khata has no export or cloud backup yet, so treat it the way you would treat a paper khata kept in one drawer.

What can erase my entries?

Clearing browsing data, site data or cache for this site, opening it in a private or incognito window, or uninstalling the app after adding it to your home screen. Simply closing the tab or restarting the phone is completely safe.

Can I track what I owe my suppliers too?

Yes. Add the supplier exactly like a customer. Use You got for stock received on credit and You gave for payments you make — the balance then appears under You will give instead.

Is a digital khata legal proof of udhaar?

A khata — paper or digital — is your own book of account, not a signed agreement. Books of account that are kept regularly do carry weight as supporting evidence, but they do not replace a proper bill or invoice. For large credit amounts, keep the invoice as well.

Does it work on a computer?

Yes, in any modern browser. On a phone you can also install it to the home screen from the browser menu, after which it opens full screen like a normal app and still works offline.
