NGO accounting software
NGO accounting software built for Indian trusts & Section 8 companies
Generic tools like Tally and Excel were never built for fund accounting. Sevastack tracks money by fund, auto-generates the Receipts & Payments, Income & Expenditure, and Balance Sheet your auditor expects, files Form 10BD/10BE from the same ledger, and gives your CA a read-only portal. Free to start.
Accounting purpose-built for non-profits
Everything an Indian NGO's books need — fund accounting, statutory statements, tax compliance, and auditor access — in one cloud platform.
True fund accounting
Track money by fund — general, corpus, FCRA, project, and restricted grants — the way NGO accounting standards and auditors require. Generic business accounting tools can't do this.
Auto Balance Sheet, R&P & I&E
The full statutory set for Indian non-profits — Receipts & Payments Account, Income & Expenditure Account, and Balance Sheet — generated from your transactions in real time.
Form 10BD & 10BE from your ledger
Donations recorded in your accounts flow straight into the Form 10BD statement (by 31 May) and Form 10BE donor certificates (by 15 June) — no separate re-entry.
TDS register & bank reconciliation
Quarterly TDS register for staff and vendors, plus bank reconciliation statements — the working papers your auditor asks for, kept audit-ready year round.
Fixed asset register with depreciation
Maintain the asset register with straight-line and written-down-value depreciation, feeding the Balance Sheet automatically.
Read-only CA portal
Your auditor gets a dedicated read-only login to view every statement, voucher, and compliance report, and export sign-ready PDFs — no more emailing spreadsheets back and forth.
Every statement your auditor asks for
Generated from your transactions in real time — no manual assembly, no re-keying.
Why NGOs outgrow Tally and Excel
Business accounting software and spreadsheets miss what non-profits legally need.
Accounting for every non-profit entity
The fund structure and statutory statements adapt to your registration type.
NGO accounting software — FAQs
What is the best accounting software for NGOs in India?
Sevastack is a free NGO accounting software built for Indian non-profits. Unlike generic tools, it does true fund accounting (general, corpus, FCRA, project, and restricted funds), auto-generates the Receipts & Payments Account, Income & Expenditure Account, and Balance Sheet, and produces Form 10BD/10BE — all from a single ledger, with a read-only CA portal for your auditor.
Is Sevastack a good Tally alternative for NGOs?
Yes. Tally is business accounting software with no fund accounting, no 80G receipts, and no Form 10BD/10BE — you have to re-enter data elsewhere. Sevastack is purpose-built for Indian NGOs: it tracks money by fund, auto-generates the statutory statements auditors expect (R&P, I&E, Balance Sheet), and files compliance directly from your accounts. It is cloud-based, so your CA and board see live numbers.
What is fund accounting and why do NGOs need it?
Fund accounting tracks money separately by its purpose — corpus, restricted grants, FCRA (foreign) contributions, and project funds — instead of pooling everything into one ledger. Indian NGO accounting standards and auditors require it so that restricted and foreign funds are never mixed with general funds. Sevastack does this automatically.
What financial statements does Sevastack generate for an NGO?
Sevastack auto-generates the full statutory set: Receipts & Payments Account (R&P), Income & Expenditure Account (I&E), Balance Sheet, Fixed Asset Register with depreciation, TDS Register, and Bank Reconciliation Statement. All are audit-ready and accepted by auditors and the Income Tax Department.
Can my chartered accountant access the accounts directly?
Yes. Every NGO gets a read-only CA portal. Your auditor logs in to view all financial statements, vouchers, TDS register, bank reconciliation, Form 10BD data, and FCRA reports, and can export sign-ready PDFs — without needing full platform access or exported spreadsheets.
Does Sevastack handle Section 8 company and trust accounting?
Yes. Sevastack supports all Indian non-profit entity types — charitable and religious trusts, registered societies, and Section 8 companies — with the fund accounting, statutory statements, and compliance filings each type requires.
How do I move my NGO accounts from Tally or Excel to Sevastack?
