# Parakh

> Parakh is GST reconciliation software for Indian finance teams and CA practices. It matches a purchase register (Excel or CSV in any layout, from Tally, Busy, Zoho Books, SAP or hand-made sheets) against GSTR-2B, GSTR-2A or GSTR-1 JSON downloaded from the GST portal, shows which input tax credit (ITC) is secured, at risk or unclaimed, and drafts the follow-up to each supplier who has to fix their return.

Key facts:

- Pricing per workspace, before 18% GST: Solo ₹999/month (1 GSTIN, 2 users), Practice ₹2,999/month (25 GSTINs, 6 users), Firm ₹7,999/month (200 GSTINs, 25 users, API). Yearly billing is 12 months for the price of 10. 14-day free trial.
- No GST portal password is ever asked for or stored: users download the return JSON and upload it.
- Matching normalises invoice numbers (INV/0007 = inv-7), sums multi-rate lines, compares each tax head within a tolerance, and flags place-of-supply errors, duplicates, blocked credit (Section 17(5)), reverse charge and Rule 37 (unpaid 180 days).
- Suppliers answer follow-ups through a no-login link: filed, amended, will file next month, or disputed.
- Credit clock: Section 16(4) lapse (30 November after the financial year), Rule 37's 180 days, IMS Pending limits, with a weekly email.
- Payment advice: release the value, hold only GST not yet in GSTR-2B; MSME suppliers flagged against the 45-day rule of Section 43B(h).
- Year view of books vs 2B vs 3B for GSTR-9 Tables 8A–8D. Read-only client share links that expire.
- REST API for pushing registers from an ERP. Data handled under India's DPDP Act 2023; uploads deleted after 7 days.
