Track business expenses the right way (and claim more)

Every business expense you don't record is money you overpay in tax — both as a missed deduction and as unclaimed input tax credit. The fix isn't discipline at filing time; it's capturing spend the moment it happens.

Log it when it happens, not in March

Reconstructing a year of expenses from bank statements is miserable and lossy — small cash and UPI spends vanish. Recording each expense as you incur it, with a photo of the receipt, is the single habit that protects your margin.

Capture the details that matter

• Category — so your P&L groups spend meaningfully.
• Merchant and date — for a clean audit trail.
• GST paid — so you can claim input tax credit where eligible.
• Receipt image — proof attached to the record, not in a drawer.

One place for money out

In E-BillR, each expense carries its category, GST, receipt image, and a billable flag. Mark 'Claim ITC' and it folds into your GST position automatically; mark it billable and it's waiting on your next invoice. Nothing slips through.
