No credit card. WhatsApp OTP login. Cancel anytime.
When a milestone is marked approved, the invoice auto-drafts at the right share of the contract. No more "I forgot to bill the DD stage three months ago". Outstandings rolled up per project so collection calls have actual data behind them.
Per-project P&L every time. Design fees in, sub-consultants out, travel, printing, site visits — all allocated. Sign the next engagement letter with eyes open. Stop accidentally subsidising long-running projects with margin from short ones.
USD invoicing, Form 15CA/CB, PE-day tracking, AD-Cat-1 bank routing, GSTR-1 export-of-services lines — all handled in the background. You focus on the design. The remittance paperwork is on us.
At /dashboard/architect-projects — create a project with contract value + start/end dates; the 5-stage Council-of-Architecture milestone split auto-loads (Concept 10% / Schematic 20% / DD 30% / CD 25% / CA 15%). Mark milestones COMPLETED → BILL with one click each. Per-project P&L: invoiced + completed-unbilled + pending. Revert state transitions if you misclick.
Every project gets its own ledger: design fees in, sub-consultant fees out, travel, site visits, printing. Optional Bill-of-Quantities tracking so you know what slipped through scope. Per-project profit margin visible on one screen.
Architectural services are GST 18%. Property under construction is taxable at 5% / 12% depending on category. RERA-registered projects have GSTIN-linked reporting obligations. OnGravy classifies each line and files GSTR-1 correctly without you flipping switches.
Designing a Dubai villa or a Singapore office from your Mumbai studio? OnGravy flags Permanent-Establishment risk based on on-site days, files Form 15CA/CB for inward remittance, and routes foreign-currency invoices through your AD-Cat-1 bank correctly.
At /dashboard/sub-consultants — roster of structural / MEP / facade / etc. consultants with their default share % and §194J TDS rate per row. At /dashboard/retainers — monthly retainer billing (auto-generated via cron). Per-project share auto-calc on milestone bill lands with the architect milestone-billing flow.
Between site visits, speak: "Cash paid 800 rupees Auto rickshaw to Bhandup site visit project Greene Lane" — OnGravy logs the entry against the project ledger. Approve on the phone, move to the next meeting.
Clients prefer WhatsApp over email. OnGravy sends invoices + UPI / Razorpay links via WhatsApp, reconciles automatically when paid, sends polite reminders at 7 / 14 / 30 day intervals.
Citation-backed answers to §44ADA presumptive eligibility, §194J on professional fees, depreciation on CAD workstations and plotters, GST on under-construction edge cases, and inward-remittance handling for foreign clients.
17% off on annual billing (effectively 2 months free). No setup fee, no card to start.
Yes — architecture is on the notified list of specified professions under §44ADA. Up to ₹75L gross professional receipts, you can declare 50% presumed profit and file ITR-4 without maintaining detailed books. OnGravy keeps proper books in the background regardless, so the moment you cross the ₹75L threshold (large RERA project, big retainer year) you have everything ready for ITR-3.
Standard Council-of-Architecture milestones are pre-loaded: Concept 10%, Schematic 20%, Design Development 30%, Construction Documents 25%, Construction Admin 15%. As you mark each milestone "approved by client", the invoice auto-drafts at the agreed share of the total contract value. You can customise the milestone split per project if your engagement letter differs.
Foreign-client invoicing triggers a special flow: OnGravy generates a USD-denominated invoice, applies the SBI mid-rate at invoice date for INR book-keeping, prepares Form 15CA / 15CB for the inward remittance, flags Permanent-Establishment risk if your on-site days cross 90 in a fiscal year, and routes the payment through your AD-Cat-1 bank with the correct purpose code. You sign off; we generate the paperwork.
Per-project ledger: design fees in, sub-consultant fees out, travel, printing, site visits, software subscriptions allocated by project. Run a project-level P&L any time. When you are deciding to sign the next engagement letter, you have honest data on whether similar projects in the past actually paid or just felt productive.
For each project, define the sub-consultant share at engagement time. As you receive milestone payments from the client, OnGravy auto-generates the sub-consultant invoice at the agreed share, deducts §194J TDS at 10%, and shows you the net payable via UPI. The audit trail is intact for both your books and theirs.
Free under ₹25L gross receipts (covers many solo architects in their first 1-3 years). Starter ₹399/month for full books + GST + per-project ledgers. Professional ₹999/month adds voice voucher, AI tax advisor, milestone billing automation, sub-consultant handling, multi-user. Premium ₹2,499/month for studios with associates. No setup fee, cancel monthly.
30-day trial. No card. WhatsApp OTP login. Sample projects preloaded so the milestone screens never look empty. If it does not save you the equivalent of half a day of admin per project within 30 days, walk away.
