Software used by chartered accountants in practice, and where 30 apps fit.
A CA office in India usually runs four kinds of software side by side. Here is what each one is for, which of them CA Bundals covers, and which stay exactly where they are.
CA Bundals is the fourth kind, with working-paper apps on top. It does not try to be the other three.
What each app is for, in one line
Grouped by the kind of work. Each name opens its full description on the apps page.
Due dates and filings
The statutory calendar, worked out by rules from each client’s registrations.

Nobody in a firm uses all of them. An article doing GST work opens two or three. A partner opens the dashboard, the sign-off queue and the reports. Each login can be limited to the apps it needs, and a client’s folder shows the same apps narrowed to that one client.
Which apps are in which plan is on the pricing page. The first 14 days include all of them, so the fair way to judge is to try your own clients in it.
What stays outside CA Bundals
No. The Accounting app is for small clients whose books your office keeps, and it works alongside Tally through a connector on your PC. The connector is new and has not been tested with every Tally setup.
No. Tax Computation gives a computation and an ITR data sheet, and Financial Statements gives printable statements and a data sheet for keying. The official ITR JSON and AOC-4 XBRL are made in the tools you already use for them.
No. Where a portal accepts a file, such as an EPFO ECR, CA Bundals makes the file and you upload it. You enter acknowledgement numbers here after filing.
No. You generate the UDIN on the UDIN portal and type it in. CA Bundals checks the format, keeps the register and will not issue a certificate without one.
Not in dates, tax, accounts or money. Those run on written rules and checks. The one exception is a labelled helper that drafts a reply to a notice, which a partner must read and approve.
Plans are priced for the whole firm, not per client or per user, and higher plans open more apps. See pricing.
