How maintenance billing works in Plinth
Plinth maintenance billing runs in three layers: charge heads (what you bill), billing cycles (when you bill), and invoices (what each flat owes). Treasurers configure once per society; each month is preview → issue → collect → receipt.
Treasurer (admin)
- Open Admin → Billing.
- Define Charge heads — name, rate, basis (flat rate / per sq ft), GST if taxable.
- Create a Billing cycle — period label (e.g.
June 2026), due date, late-fee rule (flat ₹ or %). - Tap Preview run — review per-flat totals before issuing.
- Tap Issue invoices — one invoice per flat with line items and tax.
- Tap Close cycle once generation is complete so no new invoices can be issued accidentally.
- After due date, Apply late fees if your rules require it.
- When payment arrives (NEFT, cheque, cash), open the invoice and Record payment — each attempt uses an idempotency key so duplicate clicks/retries do not duplicate receipt rows.
Resident
- Open My dues (
/billing). - Tap an invoice to see line items, GST, arrears, late fee, and balance.
- Download or print the PDF receipt after the committee records your payment.
Online payment gateway integration is intentionally out of scope for this parity cycle; today Plinth focuses on correct invoices, receipt integrity, and audit-ready offline collection records.
