While government DBT PoS terminals authenticate subsidized urea and complex fertilizer sales, dealers need private commercial software to manage customer udhari, non-subsidized inputs, and business profitability.
Kroply runs alongside government DBT PoS machines to handle farmer credit ledgers, non-subsidized micronutrients, and supplier billing.
Separate government subsidy authentication from internal store accounting and cash/UPI drawer reconciliation.
Fertilizer retail in India is governed by Department of Fertilizers regulations requiring Aadhaar authentication on government DBT PoS machines for subsidized urea and complex fertilizers. However, government PoS terminals do not manage store accounting, customer credit (udhari), supplier purchase bills, or non-subsidized products. Here is how dealers successfully balance both systems.
The government PoS terminal exists solely to verify farmer identity and claim subsidy disbursements. It does not track customer payment history, supplier payables, shop profit, or non-subsidized agro-chemicals.
Agricultural retailers earn significant margins on non-subsidized specialty inputs such as water-soluble fertilizers, bio-fertilizers, organic manures, hybrid seeds, and pesticides. These items require dedicated commercial billing and GST tracking.
Government PoS records sales as completed upon biometric authentication, but in reality, farmers often pay months later post-harvest. Commercial software records the balance in the farmer khata ledger with payment tracking.
Government portals track manufacturer-to-dealer allotments, but dealers need internal software to scan distributor tax invoices, verify delivery charges, and manage physical godown inventory.
By recording transactions in Kroply parallel to government DBT entries, dealers enjoy complete financial control, automated GST tax summaries, and professional WhatsApp receipts for every customer.
No. Government DBT PoS machines are mandatory by law for selling subsidized fertilizers. Internal software like Kroply operates alongside DBT to manage commercial accounting, credit, and non-subsidized goods.
Using commercial software payment reports, dealers separate immediate cash and UPI collections from credit sales, making daily cash drawer reconciliation straightforward.
