Daily collection software for MFIs, Nidhi & daily-finance businesses

If you run daily collections — a microfinance book, a Nidhi, a pigmy scheme or a neighbourhood daily-finance business — your day is a loop: a list of customers, a per-day amount, cash or UPI in hand, and a receipt to give. The software meant to help often makes it worse: a monthly bill, your customer data sitting on someone else's server, and a system you can't leave without losing everything. There's a cleaner way to run it in 2026.

What a daily-collection operation really needs

• Daily cards — enter an amount and number of days, and the per-day due and your profit calculate themselves (₹10,000 over 60 days is ₹200 a day).
• A day's collection list — who's due, who's paid, who hasn't — on any phone.
• Cash and UPI collection, because customers pay both ways.
• A receipt in the customer's hand the moment they pay.
• Reports on collection, profit and overdue that you can share in a tap.
• It has to keep working when there's no signal in the field.

Where most collection software goes wrong

The common model is a monthly SaaS subscription running on the vendor's cloud. Two things bite you. First, the bill never stops and grows with your customer count and staff. Second — and worse — your entire loan book, every customer and every payment, lives on their server. If they raise prices, shut down, or you simply want to switch, your data is hostage. For a lending business, that's an unacceptable risk to carry for years.

A different model: your Google Sheet is the database

There's a smarter architecture. Instead of a hidden server, the app writes to a Google Sheet in your own Google account. Every customer, every card and every payment is a row in your Sheet. The app is just a fast, friendly front end over data you already own and can see.

• You own the data outright — it's in your Google Drive, not a vendor's database.
• You can open, edit or export it any time, straight from Google Sheets.
• There's no server to host, secure or pay for — Google runs the backend for free.
• No lock-in: your records stay with you whatever happens to anyone else.

Cash or UPI-QR — collect the way customers actually pay

In the field, some customers hand over notes and others want to scan. The app records a cash payment in a tap, or shows a live UPI QR the customer scans to pay straight into your account. Either way the collection is logged against the right card instantly, so your books never drift from reality.

An instant SMS receipt on every payment

Trust in daily finance is built one receipt at a time. The moment a payment is recorded, the customer gets an SMS — the amount received, the balance left and your business name. No paper book, no disputes about what was paid, and a professional touch a register can't match.

Built to work offline

Collectors work in lanes, basements and villages where signal drops. The app is offline-first: your collector takes payments with no internet at all, and everything syncs up to your Sheet automatically the moment they're back online. A dead network never stops a day's collection.

Reports that answer real questions

At the end of the day you want answers, not a spreadsheet to build. Profit, collection and overdue reports come ready as PDF or Excel, so you can see what came in, what's pending and what you earned — and share it on WhatsApp in a tap. Because it all sits in your Sheet, you can slice it further yourself whenever you like.

Who it's built for

• Microfinance institutions (MFIs) running daily or weekly recovery.
• Nidhi companies and cooperative credit societies.
• Licensed money-lenders and daily-finance operators.
• Bachat and self-help groups (SHGs).
• Chit funds and pigmy / daily-deposit collectors.

What it costs

The whole app — set up on your own Google Sheet, branded for your business, running in English, Hindi or Marathi on any Android 6.0+ phone — is a one-time ₹50,000. No monthly fee, no per-user charge, no per-transaction cut, ever. You can try a free demo APK before you commit, then go live in days.

Owning your data and paying once, not forever, is the whole point of a lending tool you'll depend on for years. See the full daily-collection app — cash and UPI-QR, SMS receipts, offline sync and reports, all on your own Google Sheet — and download the demo on our Daily Collection page.
