What is temple accounting software?
Netra’s temple accounting solution covers the income side of a temple’s books: immutable receipts numbered by Indian financial year, reconciliation of cheque, NEFT, POS and payment-gateway deposits — including fees — and Tally XML export through Tally Manager. Your accountant keeps the full books in Tally. Expenses, fund accounting and cash and bank books in Netra are in early access.

Honest scope
What’s live vs in early access
Netra started as counter and receipt software, so its accounting is strongest where the money comes in. Here is exactly what you can use today.
| Capability | Status | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Receipt numbering | Live | Immutable receipts with separate series by module, channel and Indian financial year. Blocked receipts keep their number and reason on record. |
| Cheque and NEFT settlement | Live | Record the deposit bank and date, then the clearance. A bounced cheque blocks its receipt and moves to a Bounced register. |
| Gateway and POS reconciliation | Live | Payouts matched automatically from the gateway’s settlement reports, with processing fees and tax on fees. Anything unmatched waits in Needs review. |
| Tally Manager | Live | Map accounts to your Tally ledgers once, preview postings, and download ledger-master and voucher XML. |
| Collection reports | Live | By medium, payment mode, account, day, service and donor; Excel, PDF and CSV. |
| Room and hall revenue | Live in Kshetra | Kshetra keeps its own bank and cash accounts, daybook, contra entries, GST summary and Tally export. See Kshetra. |
| Expense bills and vendors | Early access | Bills with photo evidence, vendors, payments and advances. |
| Fund accounting | Early access | General, restricted and corpus funds. |
| Cash book and bank book | Early access | Day-to-day books with reconciliation. |
| TDS and GST | Early access | Tax on the expense side. |
| Maker–checker and period close | Early access | Two-person approval, month close and year close. |

From the counter to the bank to Tally
Four parts of Netra do the accountant’s work that used to happen in a register and a spreadsheet.
Know which rupee reached which bank, and when
Every non-cash receipt waits in Settlements until it is proven to be in the bank. Office staff record the deposit and the clearance for cheques and NEFT; gateway and POS payouts are fetched from the provider and matched automatically to the right bank account.
- Four clear queues: Awaiting deposit, Awaiting clearance, Cleared and Needs review
- Each payment keeps the destination bank it was taken into, even if settings change later
- Fees and tax on fees are booked as expenses, so income is never counted twice

A receipt book an auditor can trust
Receipts cannot be edited or deleted. A wrong entry is blocked with a reason category and the person’s name; the number stays used, the amount leaves every total, and exports carry a separate Blocked receipts sheet so every gap is explained.
- Numbering by module, channel and Indian financial year
- Reprints need a typed reason and are logged
- Your 80G registration number and wording printed on receipts

Collection reports the trustees can read

- Excel, PDF and CSV exports
- A read-only report viewer role for trustees
- Blocked receipts excluded from every total, but one toggle away

How it flows
How a receipt reaches Tally
The same path for counter, phone, website and kiosk receipts — and for monthly auto-debit donations.
-
Receipt issued
The gross amount is recorded once, on the India calendar date, in exact paise. Non-cash receipts are routed to the bank they were paid into.
-
Settled to the bank
Cheque and NEFT clearances are recorded by the office; gateway and POS payouts are matched automatically, with fees booked separately.
-
Checked against your ledgers
The preview shows every posting line and ledger total. A missing mapping or an unbalanced voucher blocks the export instead of being skipped.
-
Imported into Tally
Download the ledger masters, then the vouchers, and import them into your Tally company. Refunds follow on the date they complete.
For the accountant
Built so the CA does not have to re-type the receipt book
Most temples already keep their books in Tally. Netra does not ask you to change that — it feeds Tally with vouchers that already balance and already know which bank the money went to.
- Accountant and report-viewer roles, separate from counter operators
- Counter operators never see the Tally Manager or settlements
- Every Tally export and every reprint is audited

Is Netra complete accounting software for a temple?
Not yet. Netra covers the income side today — receipts, settlements, bank reconciliation and Tally export. Expenses, fund accounting, cash and bank books, TDS/GST and period close are in early access, so most temples keep their full books in Tally and let Netra feed it.
Does Netra work with Tally?
Yes. Tally Manager maps Netra’s accounts to your Tally ledgers once, then exports ledger-master and voucher XML that you import into your Tally company. Read can a temple run on Tally alone? for where Tally fits.
How does bank reconciliation work for payment gateways?
Automatically. Netra fetches the gateway’s settlement reports, matches each payout to the receipts it contains and to the bank you set for that gateway, and books the fee and tax on the fee. Payouts that do not match exactly wait in Needs review; nothing is cleared by guesswork.
What happens when a cheque bounces?
The accountant marks the deposited cheque as bounced, which blocks its receipt with the remark “Cheque bounced” and lists it in the Bounced register. The receipt number stays on record, so the gap is explained.
Does Netra file 80G forms or GST returns?
No. Netra prints your trust’s 80G registration number and wording on receipts; it does not file Form 10BD or produce Form 10BE. Our temple accounting guide explains what the trust still files. For room and hall rent, Kshetra keeps a GST summary.
We also run a dharmashala. Where do room accounts go?
Into Kshetra, our dharmashala (pilgrim guest-house) and hall booking software. It has its own bank and cash accounts, daybook, contra entries, GST summary and Tally export, so room revenue reaches Tally alongside Netra’s receipts.
How much does it cost?
Netra starts at ₹999 a month plus GST, with a three-month free trial and no card. Your quote confirms which modules are included — see Netra pricing or book a demo to walk through settlements with your own bank accounts.
