Every pharmacy, retail shop and restaurant in Nepal needs IRD-compliant billing. But the right software differs by business type. Here is what to look for.
Billing Software for Pharmacy in Nepal
Pharmacies have unique needs:
- Expiry date tracking — get alerts before medicines expire
- Batch number management — required for recalls and quality control
- Fast barcode billing — customers do not want to wait
- Narcotics register — compliance with drug regulations
- Offline mode — power cuts and internet outages cannot stop your billing
Billing Software for Retail Shops
- Inventory tracking with low-stock alerts
- Barcode scanner and label printing support
- Multiple payment methods: cash, eSewa, Khalti, bank
- Customer credit (udharo) tracking — essential in Nepali retail
- Daily, monthly and yearly sales reports
POS Software for Restaurants
- Table management and kitchen order tickets (KOT)
- Menu with modifiers (extra cheese, less spicy)
- Bill splitting for groups
- Takeaway and delivery order modes
IRD Compliance — Non-Negotiable
Whatever you choose, the software MUST be IRD-compliant: proper VAT invoice format, 13% VAT auto-calculation, sequential invoice numbering, and materialized view records. Non-compliant billing can result in fines during tax audits.
What Does Billing Software Cost in Nepal?
Quality IRD-compliant billing software in Nepal costs NPR 15,000 – 40,000 as a one-time license, usually with 1 year of free support. Beware of very cheap options that lack IRD compliance or offline mode.
