FAQ
Questions we hear most
Do I need e-invoicing?
Yes, if your company's aggregate turnover has crossed ₹5 crore in any financial year since 2017-18, for invoices to other businesses and exports. Above ₹10 crore, invoices must reach the IRP within 30 days of their date. BharatFirm Books checks this for you.
Can I use it without BharatFirm's accounting services?
Yes. BharatFirm Books is a standalone product. You can invite your own CA at no extra cost.
Does it file my GST returns?
At launch it prepares GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from your books, ready to file on the GST portal. Direct filing through a GST Suvidha Provider is next on our roadmap.
Where is my data stored?
The portal demo keeps its sample company in your own browser; nothing you type in it is sent to us. For live accounts we plan to host your books in India with daily backups, and we will confirm the details in writing before you move any real data. Only people you invite will see your books.
What if I want to leave?
Export your ledgers, invoices and reports to Excel or CSV at any time. Your data is yours.
Is it compliant with the audit trail rule?
It is built for it. The audit trail records every change and can't be turned off, as Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 requires from 1 April 2023.
