Purpose-Built Software for Mandi Commission Agents (Arhtiyas)
Manage farmer arrivals, automate commission and labour fees, generate instant settlement slips, and keep buyer Khatas completely balanced without manual bookkeeping friction.
Why Standard Accounting Fails Commission Agent Workflows
Commission agents don't simply buy and sell. You mediate transactions between farmers and buyers, deduct statutory charges, calculate per-bag handling fees, and maintain dual-sided ledger accounts.
Calculating commission %, Maldhari (labor per bag), loading fees, and deductions manually for dozens of farmer lots daily leads to costly arithmetic errors.
Every transaction affects two different parties (Farmer payable and Buyer receivable). Generic software requires two separate entries, doubling the chance of ledger imbalance.
Handwritten slips and rough notes make it difficult to provide clear, itemized deduction statements to farmers, causing avoidable friction during payment settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions from Arhtiyas
Answers to common operational questions from commission agents.
How does Digital Bahi calculate commission for an Arhtiya?
You can configure your standard commission percentage in the settings. When entering a farmer trade, the software applies the percentage to the gross trade value automatically and itemizes it on the farmer settlement slip and your internal commission ledger.
Can we configure per-bag labour (Maldhari) and handling charges?
Yes. You can define fixed per-bag labour rates (e.g. ₹6.50/bag), stitching charges, loading, and weighing expenses. The system calculates the exact fee based on the total bags in the lot.
Can we print clear settlement slips for farmers?
Yes. Digital Bahi generates clean, printable farmer settlement slips detailing gross weight, rate, gross value, itemized deductions (commission, labour, mandi cess), and net payable balance.
How does the software handle buyer billing and receivables?
When allocating a lot to a buyer, the software generates a tax-compliant bill and automatically debits the buyer's Khata. You can view total outstanding balances and payment history at any time.
Can our munim use the software on an office desktop?
Yes. Digital Bahi works smoothly on standard office computers and laptops. You can assign staff logins for rapid entry while retaining owner-level control over firm accounts.
