Contractors live on the margin between what the client pays and what sub-contractors invoice. Rebaar tracks both sides on one project — client-side RA bills (your income) and sub-contractor bills (your cost) — so the margin per project is always visible, not discovered at year-end.
What you actually get
Client-side RA bills with retention
Cumulative running-account bills with line items, retention percent, mobilisation advance recovery, previous-bill carry-forward.
Sub-contractor bills with 3-way match
PO → GRN/work-done certification → sub-contractor bill. The 3-way match prevents paying for work you didn't receive or above the agreed PO rate.
Retention from sub-contractors
You hold retention from your sub-contractors symmetric to what the client holds from you. The hold is released on the same milestone trigger.
TDS deduction on sub-contractor payments
Auto-deduct TDS under 194C when paying sub-contractors above the threshold. Quarterly TDS challan-readiness report.
Project margin live
Client bills receivable - sub-contractor bills payable - direct cost = project margin. Visible from project view, updated on every transaction.
Razorpay payment links to clients
Attach a payment link to every client invoice. Client clicks → pays UPI/card/netbanking → receivable settles automatically.
GST e-Invoice & e-Way Bill
IRN on every B2B invoice above turnover threshold. e-Way Bill for material movements. Bring-your-own GSP credentials.
Tally / Zoho Books / QuickBooks export
Push the day-book to your accountant's preferred tool. No re-keying.

Frequently asked questions
Does Rebaar handle sub-contractor payments?
Yes. The Accounts Payable suite (Growth plan and above) handles POs to sub-contractors, work-done GRNs, sub-contractor bills with 3-way match, retention hold-back, and payment disbursement with TDS auto-deduction at 194C.
How does retention work in Rebaar?
Retention is a configurable percentage per BOQ line or per bill. The retained amount is tracked separately as a contra-asset, released on a configurable trigger (date or milestone). The same mechanism works symmetrically for retention you hold from sub-contractors.
Can I see project margin in real time?
Yes. Each project view shows: client billings (less client retention), minus sub-contractor billings (plus sub retention you hold), minus direct cost (materials, labour, equipment) = net project margin. Updated on every transaction.
Does Rebaar deduct TDS automatically?
When paying sub-contractors above the 194C threshold (₹30k single payment / ₹1L aggregate FY), Rebaar pre-fills the TDS deduction at 1% (individual) or 2% (firm). You review and confirm before the payment voucher is issued.
Can clients approve bills before payment?
Yes. The client portal (`/client-signoff/<token>`) gives the client a token-authenticated view of pending bills. They can approve/reject digitally with reason, or print and sign physically. Either way the audit trail records the approval.
How is this different from Tally for contractors?
Tally handles the journal but doesn't know about RA bills, retention, BOQ-linked progress billing, milestones, or sub-contractor 3-way match. You'd have to model all of that in narration fields or supplementary spreadsheets — which means it's not in the books and not in any report. Rebaar treats them as first-class objects.
What about TDS challan generation?
Quarterly TDS deduction summary by PAN is generated automatically. The challan itself (Form 26Q / 27Q) is filed by your CA on the TRACES portal — Rebaar provides the input data in the required format.
Can my CA access Rebaar?
Yes — invite them as a workspace member with the Accountant role. They see the ledger, GST reports, TDS summary, and audit log. They don't see site photos or HR records they don't need.
