Answers about LekhaPro
Editions and deployment, pricing, security and GST — the questions Indian businesses ask most, answered.
Editions & deployment
What is LekhaPro?
LekhaPro is GST accounting and billing software for Indian businesses. It posts real double-entry books under plain-language screens and handles invoicing, inventory, banking and GSTR-1/3B filing, in two editions — an offline-first Desktop app and an anywhere-access Cloud platform.
What is the difference between the Desktop and Cloud editions?
The Desktop edition runs fully offline on Windows with your books stored locally — fastest and most private, ideal for a single shop or office. The Cloud edition runs the same engine in the browser with multi-device access from anywhere, and adds CRM/RevOps and industry packs such as Real Estate. You choose the edition at signup.
Do I need an internet connection?
For the Desktop edition, no — it works fully offline; only AI features and billing need connectivity. The Cloud edition runs in the browser, so it needs internet.
Can several computers share the Desktop edition over a LAN?
Yes. The Desktop edition runs standalone on one PC, or as a client–server on your local network — one machine hosts the server and other computers connect to it, fully offline. The number of connected machines is set by your plan.
Can I switch between editions later?
Yes — it is one LekhaPro account. You pick an edition at signup and can talk to us about moving between them; your subscription stays the same.
Pricing & plans
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every account starts a 14-day trial with the full accounting core and deterministic insights. No card is required up front.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at an affordable monthly price (Basic, Pro, Enterprise), billed monthly or yearly. Yearly gives two months free. See the pricing page for current INR plans.
Which plans include AI?
Deterministic Tier-A insights (health score, cash-flow forecast, revenue-leak detection) ship in every plan and run offline. The conversational AI copilot and AI CFO are exclusive to Enterprise.
How am I billed, and can I cancel?
Subscriptions are billed via Razorpay, monthly or yearly, with a GST invoice on every payment. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel at period end from your billing dashboard.
Security & your data
Where does my data live?
On the Desktop edition your books stay on your machine in a local database with automatic encrypted backups. On the Cloud edition your data is hosted and isolated in your own tenant, scoped strictly to your account. See the security page for details.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your business data is never used to train models. Deterministic insights compute on your own data, and the AI copilot sends only a compact snapshot, and only when you ask.
How are payments handled?
Subscriptions are billed through Razorpay, a PCI-DSS-compliant provider. Your card details are handled by Razorpay and never stored by us.
Can I export my data and leave?
Yes. Reports, ledgers and registers export to PDF and Excel any time, and on Desktop you hold the local database and backups. There is no lock-in.
GST & compliance
Can I file GST returns directly?
LekhaPro builds the correct GSTR-1/3B JSON offline and can push it through your GST Suvidha Provider once you add GSP credentials. Without them it still exports filing-ready JSON and Excel.
Does it do e-invoice and e-way bill?
Yes — the e-invoice (IRN) and e-way bill payloads generate offline on every eligible invoice, and you can fetch the IRN or e-way bill number live through your GSP.
Does it reconcile GSTR-2B?
Yes — purchases reconcile against GSTR-2B so you claim only input credit that suppliers have actually uploaded, plus a Books-to-GSTR-1-to-3B check.
Does it handle interstate GST correctly?
Yes — tax splits to IGST or CGST+SGST automatically from the company and party state codes, and an error catcher flags any invoice on the wrong head.
Getting started
How do I get started?
Sign up for a 14-day free trial (no card) and pick your edition. Desktop: download and activate with your key. Cloud: nothing to install — you are working in minutes.
Can I import my existing data?
You can import masters (customers, vendors, products) and enter opening balances to start clean. A guided migration from other software is on the roadmap.
What support do I get?
Email and WhatsApp support from an India-based team that knows GST, plus in-app help and a growing library of guides.
