Rajkot · Gujarat
Billing for Rajkot's careful shopkeepers.
Counter billing, khata and stock-and-margin reports for Rajkot shops, in Gujarati or English, on a phone.
Rajkot's oldest shopping streets run side by side. Dharmendra Road, Lakhajiraj Road and Gheekanta Road are three parallel market lanes in the old city, with shops that range from tea stalls to saree houses to electrical stores. Dharmendra Road in particular is where people go for low prices on clothes, shoes and bags. Bangdi Bazaar in Lohana Para is another of the old shopping areas. These lanes are crowded, the shops are small, and the counter is usually the owner's own.
The city was founded in 1612 in the Saurashtra region, and today it is an engineering town as much as a trading one. Its industries include bearings, diesel engines, auto parts, machine tools and watch parts, with around 500 foundry units. That gives the neighbourhood shops a steady base of workshop owners, workers and their families, buying daily needs close to home.
Rajkot's kiranas have a history of thinking hard about buying. In 2007, when the first malls were coming to the city, Business Today reported that about 3,000 Rajkot kiranas were organising under the Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry to pool their buying power and share logistics. The same report quoted a shop owner whose sales had dropped by more than a fifth in six months. The lesson the city's shopkeepers drew was that margins, stock and purchase prices have to be watched closely, not guessed.
Farm produce comes through the Rajkot APMC and its vegetable sub-yard, both of which appear in government market price data. A vegetable shop or kirana buys there, or from traders who do, and resells in smaller lots through the day. That means two kinds of stock to keep track of: what is on the shelf now, and what is still in sacks at the back.
Gujarati is the language of the counter and the customer. Gujarat GSTINs begin with 24, and a regular dealer charges CGST and SGST on a local sale, with HSN codes on the invoice. Many small shops are composition dealers or unregistered and only need a simple bill.
Bazaar IQ suits a shop that wants to see its numbers. Billing runs in Gujarati, Hindi or English. Purchases go in as storage stock, so the owner knows what is on the shelf and what is in the godown. Reports on sales and stock export to Excel or PDF, and the owner dashboard shows the day at a glance. Regulars on credit have a khata balance tied to each bill. An owner with a second shop gets separate stock for each and a record of every transfer.
Numbers on paper, not in your head
A Rajkot owner often carries the day’s figures in memory. Bazaar IQ writes them down. Every bill feeds the reports, which show what sold, when, and from which shop. Export them to Excel or PDF, or send the month to your accountant through the Tally export.
Stock in the godown and on the shelf
Bulk buying goes into storage first and moves to the shelf as it is put out. Inventory counts the two separately. When display stock runs low, you know before a customer asks for something that is still in a sack at the back.
A counter run by family and helpers
Many old-city shops are run by the owner with a son or a helper. Staff logins let each person bill under their own name, with only the screens the owner allows. If someone voids a bill or deletes an item, the owner gets an alert.
Regular customers on credit go into the khata. If you also run a repair counter, repair job cards track each job from intake to delivery. Start a 14-day free trial, no card needed, or see pricing.
