Family Budget Planning App for Indian Households — Hindi & 22 Languages

Indian families manage money together but track nothing. Plan household budgets, share expenses, and save as a family — in Hindi or any Indian language.


India's Families Manage Money Together — But Track Alone

In Indian households, money management is a family affair. The husband earns, the wife manages grocery budgets, the son pays the phone bill, the daughter handles the electricity payment. But there's no shared view of where the family stands financially.

The result? Month after month, the family wonders — "Paisa kahan gaya?" (Where did the money go?)

What a Family Budget Looks Like

A typical Indian household of 4-5 people has these recurring expenses:

  • Rent/EMI — ₹8,000-15,000
  • Groceries & vegetables — ₹6,000-10,000
  • School/college fees — ₹2,000-8,000
  • Electricity + gas + water — ₹2,000-4,000
  • Transport — ₹1,500-3,000
  • Phone recharges — ₹500-1,000
  • Medical expenses — ₹500-2,000

Total: ₹20,000-43,000 minimum. Yet most families don't see this picture until they're short at month-end.

DhanRakh for Families

DhanRakh makes household budgeting simple:

  • Family viewer access — spouse can view (but not edit) your finances
  • Shared categories — groceries, rent, school, medical — built for Indian families
  • Bill reminders — rent due on 1st, electricity on 15th, EMI on 5th — never miss a date
  • Savings goals — "Diwali fund", "School admission", "Family trip" — track progress together
  • Budget limits — set ₹8,000 for groceries and get alerts at ₹6,000 (80%)

Works in Hindi and 22 Indian Languages

Every family member can use DhanRakh in their preferred language. The app supports Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi — and 14 more Indian languages. Grandma can check the budget in Hindi while your daughter uses it in English.
