What is Expense India?+
Expense India is a connected business operations platform for growing businesses. It brings your people, locations, attendance, leaves, expenses, approvals, payroll and TDS, daily business reporting, targets and reports into one place, so management can see what is happening across the business without chasing updates.
Is Expense India only an expense management tool?+
No. Expense management is one part of the platform. Expense India also covers workforce and HR records, attendance and leaves, field visits, onboarding and documents, payroll and TDS, daily business reports, targets and performance, approvals, reports and exports, and location-level operations.
Which types of businesses is it built for?+
Growing businesses that operate across more than one team or location — retail chains, fashion and lifestyle brands, service businesses and multi-branch organisations. It is equally usable by a single-location business that wants to replace spreadsheets.
Does everything work as one system, or are these separate modules?+
They work as one system. An attendance record, an approved expense or a submitted daily business report is captured once and then feeds dashboards, reports, exports and payroll where relevant, instead of being re-entered in another tool.
Does Expense India work on mobile?+
Yes. The platform is responsive and can be used from a phone browser or installed to the home screen, which is how most on-site staff mark attendance, submit expenses and file daily reports.
How much does Expense India cost?+
Pricing is per location per month. Under current launch pricing: Retail ₹250/location/month (up to 6 users), Startup ₹400/location/month (up to 10 users), Scale ₹800/location/month (up to 25 users), Enterprise ₹1,200/location/month (up to 50 users), Business+ ₹2,000/location/month (up to 100 users). Annual pricing is twelve months at the same launch rate, with an additional 10% saving when you pay annually. Learn more
Do cheaper plans have fewer features?+
No. Every plan gives access to the same Expense India platform. Plans differ by the price per location and the maximum number of users allowed at that price point, so you choose the capacity that fits your business and move up as you grow. Learn more
What is the launch pricing offer?+
Launch pricing gives 50% off the original price on all plans. It is applied to the prices shown on the pricing page. Learn more
What do I save by paying annually?+
Annual billing is twelve months at the launch monthly rate, and paying annually gives an additional 10% saving on top of launch pricing. The pricing calculator shows the exact amount for your number of locations. Learn more
Is there a money-back policy?+
Yes. If Expense India is not the right fit, you are covered by our first-month money-back policy. The details are on the refund policy page. Learn more
What happens to my price if I add more locations?+
Pricing is per location, so the total is the plan price multiplied by the number of locations. The calculator on the pricing page works this out for monthly and annual billing. Learn more
Can I manage multiple locations?+
Yes. Each location has its own people, managers, geofence and settings, and attendance, expenses, daily reports and performance can be viewed per location or across the whole organisation.
How many users can I have?+
The user limit comes from your plan and applies per location — 6 on Retail, 10 on Startup, 25 on Scale, 50 on Enterprise and 100 on Business+. Registrations beyond your subscription's user limit are not allowed. Learn more
Can I restrict what employees see by location?+
Yes. Access is role-based and location-aware. Employees see their own records, managers see the people and locations they are responsible for, and founders and admins get organisation-wide visibility.
Can I organise people into departments and teams?+
Yes. The structure supports business, locations, departments, teams and employees, with reporting lines used for approvals and visibility.
How do employees submit expenses?+
Employees submit an expense with the amount, category, date and a receipt from their phone or desktop. Receipt details can be extracted automatically to reduce typing.
Can managers approve expenses?+
Yes. Expenses route to the right approver through your reporting hierarchy, and approvals, rejections and comments are recorded with an audit trail.
Can I export expenses for my accountant?+
Yes. Expense data can be filtered and exported, and exports reflect exactly the filtered data shown on screen.
Are advances supported?+
Yes. Advance requests go through the same approval flow as expenses.
Can I manage payroll?+
Yes. Expense India supports salary structures, payroll runs, payslips, regime-wise TDS, Form 12BB investment declarations with proof review, and Form 16 and Form 24Q outputs.
How is TDS calculated?+
TDS is computed by a versioned tax engine using the applicable tax year rules and the employee's regime and declarations, so past payroll runs keep the figures they were processed with.
Can employees see their own payslips?+
Yes. Employees can access their own payslips and tax documents, and cannot see other employees' salary or tax information.
Can employees mark attendance?+
Yes. Employees check in and out from their device, with location-based checks against the geofence configured for their location. Managers can review and correct records where allowed.
Can I manage different shifts?+
Yes. Shifts and rota scheduling are supported, so each location can plan who works when and compare it against actual attendance.
How are leaves handled?+
Leave requests are submitted by employees and approved through the same approval hierarchy, and approved leave is reflected in attendance and payroll.
Are field visits supported?+
Yes. Field staff can record visits with location context so managers can see where work happened.
Can I track daily store sales?+
Yes. Each location submits a Daily Business Report covering sales, payment breakdown, cash reconciliation and notes. It is designed to take a couple of minutes and rolls up into location and organisation-level views.
Who fills in the daily business report?+
Usually the store or location manager, or an authorised staff member at that location. Management then sees the consolidated view without having to ask for it.
Does it handle cash reconciliation?+
Yes. Reported collections and deposits are captured in the daily report so mismatches become visible.
Can I set targets for locations and staff?+
Yes. Targets can be assigned and then compared against actual performance, so achievement is visible by location and by team.
What performance information is available?+
Sales and operational metrics from daily reporting, target achievement, location comparison and staff performance, viewed at the organisational level you are authorised for.
How is my organisation's data kept separate?+
Every record belongs to one organisation, and access is enforced in the database with row-level security rather than only in the interface. Users only reach data their role and organisation allow. Learn more
Who can see salary and personal information?+
Sensitive information such as salary, tax details, PAN, UAN and PF is restricted. Employees cannot see their colleagues' salary or tax data. Learn more
How do users sign in?+
Users sign in with email and password, with email verification, and sessions are managed securely. Access to the product also depends on the organisation's subscription being active. Learn more
How do I get started?+
Set up your organisation online, add your locations and invite your team. You can also book a 15-minute demo first if you would like a guided walkthrough. Learn more
Can I import my existing structure and people?+
Yes. Locations, departments and teams can be imported from a spreadsheet template, and team members can be added in bulk or pasted from a spreadsheet.
What does 'Start Free' mean?+
It means you can start setting up Expense India yourself without booking a demo first. It is not a permanent free pricing tier — paid plans are listed on the pricing page. Learn more

Can I speak to someone before buying?+
