Expense tracker for India: no Form 16, no accounting software

2026-09-09

Kharch Log is for daily kharch and UPI - not Form 16, ITR filing, or Tally. Who should use a personal expense tracker vs tax software.

Searchers in India often mix up three tools: a personal expense tracker, accounting software, and tax paperwork like Form 16. Kharch Log only does the first.

Do I need Form 16 to use Kharch Log?

No. Form 16 is an employer TDS certificate for salaried tax. You do not upload Form 16 to Kharch Log, and the app does not create Form 16 or file ITR.

What Kharch Log is for

What it is not

If you need tax filing, use a CA or ITR product. If you need a UPI expense tracker that keeps data in Sheets, start with SMS capture and Sheets sync.
