Roman Urdu: Munshee

Frequently asked: Munshi (Mandi Accountant)

How long does it take to train a munshi on Pakka Khata?+

About 2 hours for an experienced munshi who knows the khata-bahi conventions. The UI is in Urdu and mirrors the way a bahi is structured.

Can multiple munshis work on the same khata?+

Yes. Pakka Khata's Pro plan supports up to 3 staff users with role-based access. Each user has their own login and activity log.

Does the munshi need internet to work?+

No. Pakka Khata is offline-first — the munshi can record lots, payments and parchis without internet; everything syncs when the connection returns.
