A diary or Excel sheet vs Nidhi Rentals + Nidhi Books

A diary records who has what. Rentals also stops the double-booking and settles the bill.

What Nidhi Rentals does

Every piece of kit you hire out — a generator, a JCB, a scaffolding set, a PA system, a camera body — is one asset on the fleet register, with its day rate, an optional weekly rate, the deposit you normally hold and the branch or warehouse it is kept at. Book it out to a customer between two dates. The same asset can never be out to two customers over overlapping dates: the database refuses it, so two people at the counter cannot both promise it. Cancel a hire and its dates are free again.

The hire board is the screen the counter runs on: overdue, due back today, out now and coming up, plus what came back recently. It works on a phone as well as the counter PC. The rate agreed at booking is frozen on the hire, so repricing the fleet next month never changes a hire that is already out.

When the kit comes back, record the date and its state: came back fine, came back damaged, or never came back. Days late are worked out from the due date, never typed. The finished hire becomes a draft invoice in Nidhi Books: the hire is taxed at the GST rate of the catalogue item behind the asset, not a flat services rate, extra days go on as more hire at the same rate, and damage or loss recovery is a separate line with no GST. On the same screen, mark the deposit refunded, adjusted against the hire or forfeited against damage. Kit that never came back is retired so nobody can book it again.

Who it is for, and who should skip it

If you run a tent house, a construction equipment hire yard, a sound and lighting hire business or a camera and tool rental shop, and you hire out pieces of kit you can name, Nidhi Rentals fits. It is built for businesses where double-bookings have cost a customer, and where settling up late days, damage and the deposit ends in an argument.

If your orders are by count from a pool, such as "300 chairs and 40 tables", Rentals does not book by quantity: each hire is one asset to one customer. You can register sets such as "Chair set of 50" as assets, but if quantity-based booking is a hard need, a dedicated rental system such as Rentman or Booqable fits better today. If you need delivery trips planned or a check-out app for your site crew, Rentals does not do that either; use the hire notes for site and contact details. If you rent out godowns, storage units or rooms rather than kit, that is a different product.

What it costs

Nidhi Rentals is ₹399/month with unlimited users and no cap on how many assets or hires you record. Every asset links to an item in the Nidhi Books catalogue, which carries its HSN code and GST rate, and the hire bill is raised as a Books invoice, so the pair is ₹798/month. A 14-day free trial is available (no card required).

FAQ

और सवाल

I run a tent house and my staff gave our big generator to two weddings on the same Saturday — can 399Apps stop that happening again? +

Yes. Once the generator is booked for those dates, Nidhi Rentals refuses any second booking that overlaps them with "This asset is already out to somebody over these dates." The check is in the database, so even two staff booking at the same moment cannot both get it.

We hire out 300 chairs and 40 tables per event — can Nidhi Rentals book chairs by quantity? +

Not today. Each hire is one asset to one customer between two dates, so it does not count out of a stock pool. Some businesses register sets, such as "Chair set of 50", as assets. If booking by quantity is essential, a dedicated rental system such as Rentman or Booqable fits better.

A contractor returned our JCB three days late. How does Nidhi Rentals charge for that? +

Record the return date and the days late are worked out from the due date. On the bill they go on as extra hire at the same agreed day rate, not as a separate late fee, and GST applies to them like the main hire.

Does the hire bill use 18% GST for everything? +

No. Hiring goods out is taxed at the same rate as selling those goods, so the hire line uses the GST rate of the catalogue item linked to the asset. Damage or loss recovery is compensation, not a sale, so it goes on a separate line with no GST.

How do I settle the security deposit when the kit comes back damaged? +

On the settle-up screen, mark the deposit refunded in full, adjusted against the hire, or forfeited against damage, and enter the amount you keep. You cannot keep more than you took, and a deposit is settled only once. If the damage is not priced yet, bill now and settle the deposit later.

Do I need Nidhi Books as well as Nidhi Rentals? +

Yes. Every rental asset links to an item in the Nidhi Books catalogue, which carries its HSN and GST rate, and the hire bill is raised as a Books invoice. Both are ₹399/month, so the pair is ₹798/month with unlimited users.
