What Is Society Maintenance Billing Software?

Updated 2026-06-07

What is society maintenance billing software?

Society maintenance billing software lets a housing society treasurer issue recurring maintenance invoices to every flat — with itemised charge heads, GST where applicable, arrears, late fees, and downloadable PDF receipts. Residents see their dues in the app; the committee keeps a defensible record for audits and AGM scrutiny.

Why Excel and WhatsApp reminders fail

Spreadsheets break when charge heads change, GST rules apply, or owners dispute line items. WhatsApp payment nudges have no invoice number, no receipt, and no link to the flat roster your society already verified for voting.

What Plinth maintenance billing includes

  • Charge heads — flat rate, per sq ft, or custom; optional GST (HSN/SAC).
  • Billing cycles — monthly or custom period with due date and late-fee rule.
  • Preview before issue — see totals per flat before invoices go live.
  • Resident dues view — each owner sees invoices for their claimed flat(s).
  • PDF receipts — download or print after payment is recorded.
  • Audit trail — invoice issue and payment events logged like votes and notices.

Plinth is governance-first: billing sits on the same verified flat roster used for polls and elections, so the treasurer and secretary work from one member truth.

FAQ

Yes — per charge head with configurable GST rate. Can one owner with multiple flats see all invoices? Yes — each flat is billed separately.
