Arhtiya software that settles every lot on your phone
Mandi Ledger is a phone app for commission agents (arhtiyas) in grain mandis. You type, speak or photograph each auction lot, and it works out commission, hamali, tulai and market fee, posts the lot to the farmer's and the buyer's khata, prints the farmer's patti and tracks every buyer's dues. It is free for your first 3 months, with no card needed; after that it is ₹299 a month or ₹2,999 a year.

Every auction slip, farmer advance and buyer credit sits in a thick ledger, and it takes hours to tally. Mandi Ledger shows today's arrivals, sales and your commission at a glance. Speak the lot: farmer, crop, bags, weight, rate and buyer. Commission, labour, weighing and market fee are worked out, so you see what the farmer gets and what the buyer owes. Save, and it is posted to both the farmer's and the buyer's ledger. Ask your ledger anything, for example the bags per buyer, counted exactly from your own ledger. See who owes what and for how long, with a one-tap WhatsApp reminder. The daily rate board shows the min, modal and max price, shared with farmers in one tap. It works in 10 Indian languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Marathi and Gujarati. Find any farmer, buyer or lot instantly, even in Hinglish. Mandi Ledger is free for the first 3 months. Try the demo today.
Who it's for
A grain-mandi arhtiya with a one-shop firm
Wants to settle every boli lot and give the farmer a clear patti.
“In the season I write lot after lot in the bahi, and totalling them takes half the night.”
An arhtiya who gives advances to farmers
Wants to know each farmer's outstanding advance and interest at any time.
“Farmers ask how much advance is left, and I have to search three registers.”
An arhtiya who sells to buyers on credit
Wants to see who is overdue and remind them on WhatsApp.
“Buyers pay late, and I lose track of who owes for which day's lots.”
How it works

Say the farmer, crop, bags, weight, rate and buyer in your language, type it, or photograph the parchi (auction slip). You check the lot before saving.
2. Let it settle

3. Ask your bahi and share
Ask a question in your own language and get the answer from your own books. Print the patti and send reminders and the rate board on WhatsApp.

Do I need a card?
No. You sign up with your mobile number and a one-time code (OTP). No card, no email, no password.
Is my data safe?
