Electricity Billing

Log meter readings for AC rooms, split the bill among the room's tenants, and bill accurately - with photo evidence.

AC rooms only

Electricity billing works on rooms marked as having AC. Mark a room as AC in its room settings to start logging readings for it.

Meter Readings

Go to Electricity and select the property and month. For each AC room, enter:

Previous ReadingAuto-filled from the last reading
Current ReadingEnter the current meter value - must be higher than the previous reading
Reading DateA date within the billing month, not in the future
Rate per UnitPre-filled from your property's rate - adjust it for this reading if needed
Meter PhotoOptional - upload a photo as evidence
NotesOptional notes (max 500 chars)

The number of readings you can log each month depends on your plan, and meter photos count toward your file storage.

Rate Configuration

The default electricity rate (₹/unit) is set per property in Settings → Property → Elec Rate. Each reading is billed as:

Units consumed = current_reading − previous_reading

Room bill = units_consumed × rate_per_unit

Each tenant's share = room bill ÷ active tenants in the room

Bills & Invoices

As soon as a reading is saved, the bill is split equally among the room's active tenants and added to each tenant's invoice for that month. If a tenant's rent invoice is already paid, the electricity charge goes on a separate electricity invoice instead. Track units consumed, total billed, and outstanding amounts on the Electricity page, and use Mark paid when a tenant settles their share.

Navigation

You can navigate up to 24 months back using the month selector. All historical readings are stored, and each room allows one reading per billing month. Deleting a reading also removes its bills and invoice lines.
