How Society Accounting Works in Plinth (Step by Step)

How society accounting works in Plinth

Plinth society accounting has two admin views: an expense ledger for committee outgoings and a defaulters list for unpaid maintenance. Both live at Admin → Accounting (/admin/accounting). There is no resident page — owners see their own dues under My dues, not the society-wide ledger.

Treasurer: record an expense

  1. Open Admin → Accounting.
  2. Go to the Expenses tab (or ledger view).
  3. Tap Add expense (or equivalent).
  4. Enter Description (what was paid for).
  5. Enter Amount in ₹.
  6. Choose Category — housekeeping, security, utilities, repairs, salaries, admin, events, capex, vendor, statutory, or other.
  7. Optionally add Vendor name.
  8. Set Incurred date (when the expense happened).
  9. Save — the entry appears in the ledger list.

Treasurer: review defaulters

  1. Open Admin → Accounting.
  2. Switch to Defaulters.
  3. See flats with outstanding balances rolled up from issued maintenance invoices.
  4. Follow up with owners; record payments in billing when collected.

How this fits with billing

  • Billing issues invoices and receipts to residents.
  • Accounting logs what the society spent and who still owes maintenance.
  • Formal books and tax filing stay with your CA — Plinth is committee operations, not statutory accounting.
