Pharmacy software in Dehradun
Yes — LekhaPro bills a Dehradun pharmacy counter in seconds: batch- and expiry-aware stock with FEFO, Schedule H/H1 capture, salt substitution and posted GST books, fully offline on the Desktop edition or in any browser on Cloud. Retail and wholesale drug licences in Uttarakhand come from Food Safety & Drug Administration, Uttarakhand (fda.uk.gov.in), and the software monitors licence expiry so a renewal never lapses unnoticed.

The Dehradun trade, honestly
Uttarakhand’s industrial-incentive years left Dehradun a working pharmaceutical belt: units at Selaqui on the city’s edge, with the larger SIDCUL cluster at Haridwar an hour away. Doon Medical College serves the city and AIIMS Rishikesh pulls referrals from the Garhwal hills. Chemists supply a growing capital as well as pilgrimage and trekking traffic heading uphill, so seasonal swings in demand are normal rather than exceptional. Manufacturing and sale licences alike run through the state drugs control department, and this close to the plants, batch-level traceability is what connects a recall notice to a shelf.
What a Dehradun pharmacy gets
- Counter billing (80mm thermal or A4)
- Batch & expiry stock with FEFO
- Expiry Radar & Rescue
- Schedule-H / H1 compliance & register
- Schemes & free goods (buy-X-get-Y)
- Salt / generic substitution
- Manufacturer & medicine masters
- Drug-licence monitor
- Full GST accounting (GSTR-1/3B, e-invoice, e-way bill)
- Fully offline & on-device
Plans are ₹249, ₹449 and ₹2,499 a month — GST-inclusive totals on pricing. New to the terms? Place of supply decides the tax head on every invoice, and goods movements may need an e-way bill.
What it does not do — in Dehradun or anywhere
- · It does not apply for or renew your drug licence — that stays between you and the licensing authority. The software monitors expiry dates and warns you.
- · No home-delivery or customer-ordering app. The counter, stock and books are the product; a marketplace storefront is not.
- · It does not file GST returns for you — GSTR-1/3B and 2B reconciliation are prepared from your posted books; submission stays with you or your CA.
- · No office in Dehradun — sales and support are online (email and WhatsApp) from an India-based team, with no local branch, reseller or on-site visit.
- · No payroll, attendance or HR module — staff salaries and professional tax stay with your CA, in Uttarakhand as everywhere.
- · No automated Tally import yet. Masters and opening balances come across; transaction history stays in the old system as a read-only archive.
Questions Dehradun chemists ask
Does LekhaPro work for a pharmacy in Dehradun?
Yes. The pharmacy workflow — keyboard-first counter billing, batch and expiry stock, Schedule H capture, schemes and salt substitution — is part of the core product, and it runs fully offline on the Desktop edition so a power cut in Dehradun never stops billing. The Cloud edition runs the same books from any browser.
Who issues drug licences for a Dehradun pharmacy?
Food Safety & Drug Administration, Uttarakhand (fda.uk.gov.in) (FSDA Uttarakhand official site, checked 2026-08-05) — the licensing authority for retail and wholesale drug licences in Uttarakhand. LekhaPro's drug-licence monitor warns before your own or a party's licence lapses; the application and renewal themselves stay between you and the authority.
Does it handle Schedule H and H1 sales properly?
Yes — an H/H1/X item triggers doctor and prescription capture at billing, and the Schedule H register stays inspection-ready, with an audit that flags any sale missing its prescription details. That register is what a drugs inspector asks for, and reconstructing it after the fact is the expensive way to learn this.
How do batch and expiry work at the counter?
Billing picks the earliest-expiry batch first (FEFO) automatically, every strip carries its batch, expiry and MRP, and the Expiry Radar ranks stock at risk in 30/60/90-day windows by value. Expiry Rescue then recommends the recovery action per batch — return to supplier, push, clear or dispose — before the window closes.
Can it offer a substitute when a brand is out of stock?
Yes — search by salt to see same-composition brands that are in stock, so a short item does not cost you the sale. The substitution stays a suggestion at the counter; what to dispense remains the pharmacist's call.
How does GST work for a Uttarakhand pharmacy?
Medicine GST rates are scheduled nationally, retail billing is MRP-inclusive with the tax backed out, and your GSTR-1/3B build from posted double-entry books rather than a sales export. Moving stock within Uttarakhand needs an e-way bill above ₹50,000 (Rule 138(1), CGST/SGST Rules · cbic-gst.gov.in, checked 2026-08-05); LekhaPro generates the JSON from the invoice.
Does it work offline in Dehradun?
Yes — the Desktop edition runs entirely on your machine: billing, batch and expiry stock, Schedule H and the deterministic Pharma AI all work with no internet, and your data stays local. Only your subscription check and the conversational AI need connectivity.
Can a distributor or wholesaler use it too?
Yes — wholesale billing with schemes and free goods (buy-X-get-Y), party-wise drug-licence monitoring, batch-wise stock across godowns and outstanding ageing are all in the product, and the pharma-distribution workflow has its own page. Retail and wholesale can run as separate companies under one login.
Do you have an office in Dehradun?
No. LekhaPro is sold and supported online across India — email and WhatsApp support from an India-based team, with no Dehradun branch and no reseller. If a local vendor who visits the shop is a requirement, that is a fair reason to choose someone else.
How do we try it?
14 days free, no card. Bill a few real Schedule H items, let FEFO pick batches against what is actually on your shelf, and run one day-end — the fit shows up at the counter, not in a brochure. Local context: Uttarakhand’s industrial-incentive years left Dehradun a working pharmaceutical belt: units at Selaqui on the city’s edge, with the larger SIDCUL cluster at Haridwar an hour away.
