Questions and use cases

What VyaparSetu is, who it is for, and what it does about the things a GST-registered business in India actually has to get done.

Use cases

How do I reconcile GSTR-2B with my purchase register?

Upload the GSTR-2B JSON from the portal (or fetch it through the GSP) and VyaparSetu compares it three ways against your purchase register: matched, values differ, not filed by the supplier, not in your books, entered twice, or credit not claimable. Each row gets a recommended IMS action with the reason, and a saved run keeps the exact 2B it was compared against.

Which customers owe me money, and how do I chase them without getting my WhatsApp number banned?

Receivables are aged and ranked by money at risk. The dunning ladder sends reminders on WhatsApp through Meta's Cloud API with approved templates, only to customers who opted in outside WhatsApp, never more than once a day, pausing when a promise to pay is recorded. 'Collect everything overdue' does the whole round after you confirm the list.

Can it prepare and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B for me?

Yes. GSTR-1 is built from the invoices in the books, all sections. GSTR-3B is derived from GSTR-1 and the saved GSTR-2B with the statutory ITC set-off order, so it agrees with what the portal auto-populates. Filing goes SAVE → SUBMIT → FILE with an EVC OTP to the signatory's own mobile; the product prepares and transmits, the taxpayer authenticates.

My GSTR-1 was filed as NIL by mistake but GSTR-3B was paid. What now?

Return check reads the filed GSTR-1 and 3B (from the portal PDF or through the GSP) against the books and states what was left out, how many customers cannot claim input credit and until when, whether exports missing from Table 6A block your own refund, and the last day the invoices can still be reported in a later GSTR-1 or IFF — 30 November after the financial year, or the day GSTR-9 is filed. It also computes the exact tax that would be charged twice if the invoices are re-reported carelessly, so the conversation with your tax adviser starts from the figure.

How do I generate an e-invoice (IRN) and an e-way bill?

From a confirmed invoice, VyaparSetu builds the INV-01 payload, checks every mandatory field first, and registers it with the IRP through a GSP to receive the IRN and signed QR. e-Way bills are raised with the state threshold, validity by distance and Part A/B kept separate, with cancellation and extension inside the legal windows.

Can I move from Tally or Zoho Books without retyping everything?

Yes. Zoho Books connects per business with read-only access and brings customers, items, invoices, bills, payments, journals and bank lines across, then syncs nightly. Tally exports (XML) and spreadsheet registers import into the Inbox, deduplicated, for a look before posting.

Will I have enough cash next month, and what can I reorder?

The cash forecast projects receivables, payables and learned running costs forward. Reorder planning says what can be bought this week without creating a deficit, using each item's lead time.

How do I stay within Section 43B(h) for MSME suppliers?

The payable monitor tracks every MSME supplier invoice against the 15- or 45-day deadline that decides whether the expense is deductible, and shows what is about to breach.

Can every invoice go into a Google Sheet my CA can open?

Yes, through Zapier: a ready-made setup puts every confirmed invoice, payment or bill into a Google Sheet within minutes. Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Forms and Shopify have ready-made setups too.

Can I ask questions in Hindi, Tamil or Marathi?

Yes. Ask by voice or text on the web or the phone in any of eleven Indian languages and English; the answer comes back in the same language, grounded in the books, and is read aloud.

Frequently asked questions

What is VyaparSetu?

VyaparSetu is accounting and GST compliance software for GST-registered small businesses in India — traders, distributors, light manufacturers, workshops, professional services and small B2B supply chains turning over roughly ₹25 lakh to ₹25 crore. It reconciles GSTR-2B against the purchase register and recommends IMS actions, prepares GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from the books with the statutory ITC set-off order, registers e-invoices (IRN) and e-way bills through a GSP, chases overdue invoices on WhatsApp with consent enforced, records payments through Razorpay links, forecasts cash and reorder needs, keeps a double-entry ledger with an immutable audit trail, and answers questions about the business by voice in eleven Indian languages. It connects to Zoho Books, Tally, spreadsheets and, through Zapier, to Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Shopify and thousands more.

Who is VyaparSetu for?

GST-registered small businesses in India with roughly ₹25 lakh to ₹25 crore turnover: traders, distributors, light manufacturing, workshops, professional services, small B2B supply chains — and the accountants who serve them.

Is VyaparSetu GST compliant for India?

It is built around India's GST law as it stands: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2B reconciliation with IMS, QRMP and composition profiles, e-invoicing and e-way bills through a registered GST Suvidha Provider, and the current filing guardrails (three-year bar, 30-day e-invoice window, GSTR-3B hard-locking). Rates are effective-dated, so the September 2025 rate change and earlier slabs both apply correctly by document date.

Does it file returns automatically?

It prepares and transmits; the taxpayer authenticates. Filing needs an EVC OTP sent by the GST system to the signatory's own registered mobile (or a DSC), and that step cannot be automated by any software. Nothing is filed without a person's explicit confirmation.

How does WhatsApp collection work without breaking Meta's rules?

Reminders go through Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API using approved utility templates. Consent is recorded where it was captured (consent gathered inside WhatsApp is refused, because Meta refuses it), opt-out is absolute, there is one contact per debtor per day, and a live promise to pay pauses the ladder.

Does it work with Tally, Zoho Books, Excel?

Yes. Zoho Books connects per business (read-only) with a nightly sync; Tally XML exports and Excel/CSV registers import into a review queue before posting.

Does it connect to Zapier?

Yes. Each business creates its own key on the Integrations page and pastes it into Zapier once. Seven triggers, two actions and three searches are available, with ready-made setups for Google Sheets, Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Forms and Shopify.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes, an Android app; iOS is a build target. The web app is mobile-first and works one-handed.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu — by voice or text, with answers read aloud.

Where is my data stored and who can see it?

In a Supabase (PostgreSQL) project on AWS Tokyo with row-level security as the tenant boundary. GSP keys, the WhatsApp token and payment secrets stay on the server. The privacy policy lists every processor and retention period the software actually enforces.

How much does it cost?

Priced per business, not per user. Tiers are One GSTIN, Multi-GSTIN and Practice (for accountants). Prices are not yet announced; GSP API calls and WhatsApp conversations are pass-through costs shown separately.

Can it connect to my bank automatically?

Not yet. Automatic bank feeds in India run through the Account Aggregator framework, which only regulated entities may join; until a regulated partner is in place, bank statements are imported and matched to invoices.
