Accounts Payable | Payment Scheduling
Payments queued by due date. MSME-aware. With cash visibility.
Approved bills queue by due date. MSME 43B(h) bills auto-prioritised. ITC-at-risk and TDS holds gate the run. Bank rails (NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, UPI) fire on release. Cash position projected against the next two weeks.

Compliance + integrations
Maker-checker as RBI expects, MSME as the IT Act requires.
The release flow respects both RBI maker-checker norms and Section 43B(h) MSME timing. Bank rail selection follows the RBI value bands. The audit trail is hash-chained for Rule 11(g).

Payment Scheduling FAQ
What buyers ask.
Can a payment be held when the GSTR-2B match is not yet clean?
Yes. Bills with unresolved 2B mismatches surface as held, with the ITC-at-risk amount visible. The CFO can release with an override (audit trail captured) or hold until the vendor or the recon engine resolves it.
What if NEFT is down on the bank side?
Rail decisioning has auto-fallback. If NEFT is unavailable, the system falls through to IMPS where the amount is within the IMPS limit, or queues for the next NEFT window where required. The status post-back captures every retry.
Can we run partial payments?
Yes. Partial payments are supported per bill, with the unpaid balance staying on the bill for the next run. Vendor statement reconciliation handles the partial position.
How does the cash projection work?
It pulls bank balance from connected banks, projected receivables from AR ageing, and scheduled outflows from the run plan. The 2-week view is a rolling projection. CFO can adjust assumptions inline.
