Mandi bills worked out right, every time
Set the aadhat, mandi tax, commission and per-bag charges for each mandi once. Every purchase from that mandi is then calculated the same way, with the arhatiya’s dues and your bardana stock updated as you go.

Sound familiar?
Every mandi has different charges
Aadhat, mandi tax, labour, bardana and freight change from mandi to mandi, and the munim has to remember which applies where.
Bills totalled by hand
Percentages and per-bag charges added up on paper leave room for mistakes that surface only when the arhatiya checks the balance.
Broker commission is guesswork
Some brokers charge a flat amount, some per quintal, some per bag. Keeping track across deals is hard.
Bags go missing on paper
Jute bags bought with mandi wheat are rarely reconciled with the bags actually in the godown.
What GrainTech does
Charges set per mandi
Aadhat %, mandi tax %, commission %, cash discount %, and labour, bardana and freight per bag, plus mandi term (quintals per bag) and mandi expense, saved for each mandi.
Brokers and brokerage
Record the broker on each deal with brokerage as a flat amount, per quintal or per bag.
Bardana ledger
Bags bought with mandi purchases go into the bardana ledger, alongside bags from other wheat lots and adjustments.
Arhatiya dues and payments
Each purchase adds to the party’s ledger. Record payments against bills and see what is still due.
Export to Tally
Mandi purchases export as XML that your CA can import into Tally.
Enter purchases from the mandi
Your buyer can record the purchase on the iOS or Android app while still at the mandi.

Questions mill owners ask
Different mandis have different rates. Can I set them separately?
Yes. Each mandi has its own aadhat, mandi tax, commission, cash discount and per-bag charges.
How is broker commission handled?
Each deal records the broker and brokerage as a flat amount, per quintal or per bag.
How are jute bags tracked?
Bags from mandi purchases and other wheat lots go into the bardana ledger, and you can record adjustments, so the ledger matches the bags you have.
Can I see what I owe each arhatiya?
Yes. Every purchase posts to the party’s ledger, and payments you record are matched against the bills.
Can purchases be entered from the mandi itself?
Yes, from the GrainTech app on iOS or Android.
