Expense Management for Indian Shops: kharcha, cash in and cash out, all dated
Zobaze POS is a free billing app for shops in India with a built-in expense manager and cash book, on Android. Log any kharcha in seconds with its amount, category and a note: the wholesaler payment, the shop rent, a staff salary, the electricity bill. Every entry carries a date, so you can record yesterday's kharcha today. Your staff can add expenses from their own login, and Reports puts spending next to sales. It's the shop's hisab kitab, cash in and cash out, and it works offline in the same app you bill from.

Shop expense management: frequently asked questions
Logging expenses
Yes. Every entry carries its own date, so you can record Friday's kharcha on Monday and it sits on Friday in the Cashbook. That keeps the record honest even when the day was too busy to note it at the time.
Partly. You tag each entry with a category like Supplies, Salary, Rent, Bill or Transport, and the Cashbook lists entries with their categories by date. The app does not yet show a total per category, so treat categories as labels on the list rather than a category-wise report.
Yes, in the everyday sense. Income & Expenses is a dated cash book: cash out on one side, cash in on the other, each entry with a category and note. The difference from a standalone cash in cash out app is that it lives inside your billing app, so the shop's sales sit next to the kharcha in Reports. It is not accounting software; it's the daily hisab kitab.
No. Your counter sales live in the billing screens and Reports, and Income & Expenses is a separate Cashbook for money outside the bill: kharcha going out, and cash coming in like capital you add or a loan you receive. Reports is where the two meet, showing sales next to expenses for the period.
Staff & control
Yes. On the Premium plan each staff member gets their own login, and they can record an expense from their phone the moment they spend, whether it's ice, fuel or a supplier payment. Every entry lands in the one shared Cashbook that you see. There's no separate approval step, so it suits a shop where the owner checks the book daily.
No. Zobaze POS is a billing app with a simple daily Cashbook: the shop's hisab at a glance, not bookkeeping. There is no ledger posting, no balance sheet and no ERP module. If you need full accounting for tax filing, your accountant's software does that job; Zobaze keeps the daily record that makes their work easier.
It shows a simple figure: sales minus expenses for the period, plus a per-item margin when you set cost prices on items. That is a daily pulse, not a true net profit or P&L statement, because it doesn't account for stock value, depreciation or taxes. For most small shops the daily pulse answers the real question: did the shop earn more than it spent?
Offline & plans
Yes. Entries save on the phone even with no signal and sync to the cloud at least once a day when you're back online, the same way billing does. A weak network never decides whether the kharcha gets written down.
Yes. Income and expense entries are part of the free plan, alongside unlimited billing and up to 100 items. The free plan shows the last 7 days of reports; Premium unlocks the full history plus staff logins, so staff can add expenses from their own phones. Check current Premium pricing in the app.
