What Is Takkada, in One Paragraph
What is Takkada: it is a mobile-first software layer for Tally that helps Indian distributors and wholesalers get paid without chasing customers. It sits on top of the distributor's existing Tally installation and adds mobile invoicing (including e-invoice and e-way bill), automatic invoice dispatch on WhatsApp, UPI payment collection at 0% MDR, and auto-reconciliation back into Tally. The distributor keeps Tally as the system of record. Takkada is the part that lives on the phone, in the field, and in the retailer's WhatsApp.
The one-line version a distributor would repeat to another distributor: "Tally toh wahi hai, bas ab phone se invoice ban jaata hai, WhatsApp pe chala jaata hai, aur paisa aate hi Tally mein chadh jaata hai."
The Problem Takkada Was Built To Solve
An Indian distributor running ₹2 crore to ₹200 crore of turnover carries receivables across 30 to 300 retail parties, on 30 to 90 day terms. The money does not arrive on its own. Someone has to track who owes what, send the reminder, take the payment, and then match that payment back to the right invoice inside Tally.
In most distribution businesses this work is split across three painful places. The salesman is in the field with no way to raise an invoice, so goods move on Monday and the bill reaches the retailer on Thursday. The owner reaches for his phone at 9 PM to check which retailer paid, and Tally is on a desktop in the office that he left hours ago. The accountant spends the last hour of the day matching bank receipts to open invoices by hand, guessing which payment settled which bill.
Takkada collapses those three jobs into one app. The salesman invoices from the phone. The owner sees live outstanding on the phone. The accountant stops matching by hand because reconciliation happens automatically.
What Takkada Actually Does
Feature by feature, here is what the app does for a distributor.
| Capability | What it means on the ground |
|---|---|
| Mobile invoicing | Raise a GST invoice from the phone at the counter, including e-invoice IRN and e-way bill |
| WhatsApp auto-dispatch | Every Tally invoice fires on the retailer's WhatsApp the moment it is created |
| 0% MDR UPI collection | The retailer pays via a UPI link straight to the distributor's own handle, no gateway cut |
| Smart payment reminders | Reminder copy changes by due date and overdue status, sent on WhatsApp with a UPI link |
| Auto-reconciliation | Each receipt matches to its open invoice and posts back into Tally automatically |
| Live outstanding | Partywise and consolidated outstanding visible on the phone, anywhere |
| Role-based access | Owners, accountants, and salesmen each see only what their role needs |
The two features distributors notice first are usually WhatsApp invoice dispatch and the 0% MDR UPI collection. The one that changes their evenings is auto-reconciliation, because that is the work that used to keep the accountant at the desk until 9 PM.
Who Takkada Is For
Takkada is built for Indian offline distributors and wholesalers using Tally, typically 5 to 50 person businesses, often family-run. Within that, four kinds of users get the most out of it:
- Owners who want visibility and reminders only, no voucher creation
- Accountants and operators who need to create vouchers on mobile
- Collections-heavy distributors for whom e-invoicing, e-way bill, and payment links are the whole point
- Team-based distributors who need role-based access for several salesmen
Honest scope on who it is not for. Takkada is not built for pure service businesses with no inventory, not built for companies that do not run on Tally, and not a general-purpose accounting replacement. Tally stays. Takkada is the layer on top.
How Takkada Sits On Top Of Tally
This is the part that separates Takkada from a standalone app a distributor would have to re-key data into. Tally remains the source of truth for every ledger, every party, and every voucher. Takkada reads from Tally and writes back to it through a two-way sync, so an invoice raised on the phone appears in Tally, and a receipt collected on UPI posts back as a Tally voucher.
The distributor does not maintain two sets of books. There is one set, in Tally, and Takkada keeps it current from the phone. For a business where the accountant has trusted Tally for fifteen years, that continuity is the point. Tally is the neighbour, not the enemy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Takkada in simple terms?
A: Takkada is a Tally-integrated receivables and collection app for Indian distributors. It lets a distributor raise invoices from the phone, send them on WhatsApp, collect payment on UPI at 0% MDR, and have every receipt reconcile back into Tally automatically. Tally stays as the books; Takkada is the mobile and collection layer on top.
Q: Does Takkada replace Tally?
A: No. Takkada runs on top of an existing Tally installation and treats Tally as the system of record. Nothing is migrated off Tally. The distributor keeps the same company data, the same ledgers, and the same accountant workflow, with a phone-based layer added for invoicing, dispatch, collection, and reconciliation.
Q: How does Takkada collect payments at 0% MDR?
A: The retailer pays through a UPI link that points to the distributor's own UPI handle, so the money moves directly on the UPI rail with no payment gateway taking a percentage in the middle. Takkada earns from a flat annual subscription, not from a cut of each transaction, which is why the 0% MDR on UPI holds with no transaction cap and no monthly fee.
Q: Can salesmen use Takkada in the field?
A: Yes. A salesman with the right role can raise a GST invoice at the counter from the phone, generate the e-invoice IRN and e-way bill, and have it dispatched to the retailer on WhatsApp. This is the same-day invoicing that compresses days sales outstanding because the retailer's credit clock starts on delivery day, not three days later.
Q: Who is behind Takkada?
A: Takkada is built by Pay Saathi Innovation LLP, registered in Guwahati, Assam, for Indian distributors and wholesalers running on Tally. It is sold through the Tally partner network as well as directly, and is designed around the real collection workflow of distributors in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
Q: What does Takkada cost?
A: Takkada is priced as a flat annual per-customer subscription across four plans, from View Only through Full Access with Auto Dispatch. The UPI collection rail carries 0% MDR regardless of plan. Full pricing is broken down in the Takkada pricing and plans guide.
