For ICAI-registered Chartered Accountants · Free for your whole practice

Every client's books. One login. Zero Tally backups.

The free practice portal for Chartered Accountants — live, read-only access to every client's books, one compliance calendar for all their filings, and GSTR-ready exports you pull yourself — 1, 3B, IMS/2B recon, even a GSTR-9 prep workbook. Filing season without the "bhai, backup bhejo" phone calls.

Free — no paid tier Unlimited clients Client-approved, read-only

One portal for your whole practice

Everything you chase clients for today, already on your dashboard when you sit down.

Read-only client books
Invoices, purchases, payments, ledgers and reports for every linked client — live, without asking anyone to export anything.
Compliance calendar
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B due dates for every client in one view, per-client "data received" tracking, and iCal export to your own calendar.
Filing checklists
Month-by-month checklists per client so nothing slips — mark items done as you file, see the whole practice on one status board.
GSTR-ready exports
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data in offline-utility-compatible formats, plus purchase registers for GSTR-2B reconciliation — pulled straight from the client's books.
GSTR-2B auto-reconciliation
Upload a client's 2B JSON and see matched, mismatched and missing invoices against their books instantly — ITC risk flagged before you file, not after.
Bulk client invites
Invite your whole client list in one go. Each client approves the link themselves and can revoke it any time — you never hold their credentials.
Your whole firm, one portal
Give articles and staff their own logins. They see every client of the firm and work the calendar and checklists with you — revoke a seat any time.
Client-controlled access
Access is read-only and client-approved. Your clients see exactly what you can see, and stay in control of their own data — trust, by construction.

Member benefits that work for you

The portal is just the start — real value for the practice, not just the software. All live today.

Work finds you — Find-a-CA directory

Thousands of businesses on Mera need a CA. A free, neutral directory listing puts your practice in front of them — name, firm, city, membership number. Never ranked by payment, and your fees stay 100% yours. Switch it on from your profile any time.

Business plan, free for your firm

Your practice raises invoices too. Every ICAI member gets the paid Business plan free for their own firm's billing — unconditional, for as long as you're an enrolled member. Sign in to the business portal with your CA account email and it's already on.

Your letterhead on reports

One click on any client's Reports tab prints their P&L, GST summary and registers under your firm's name and membership number. Your work looks like your work.

20% off for every client you onboard

Businesses that join through your invite get 20% off any paid plan for 12 months — applied automatically. You bring them a better tool and a better price.

All member benefits are designed to comply with the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 — no commission or referral fee is paid to members. Details in the FAQ below.

Set up in one chai break

Every client's data, every due date, every export — ready before you've finished your chai. That's the whole pitch.

No fine print. Just answers.

Is the CA portal really free? +

Yes. The CA portal — client dashboard, read-only access to client books, compliance calendar, filing checklists and report exports — is free for ICAI-registered Chartered Accountants. There is no paid tier for the CA portal today.

What do I get as a member? +

Five things: the CA portal, free; staff logins so your whole firm works in one portal; a Business plan free for your own firm's billing; a free, live listing in our Find-a-CA directory so businesses on Mera can find you; and your firm's letterhead on client reports. Plus the hours you stop spending chasing Tally backups.

Do you pay CAs a commission? +

No. Members in practice are prohibited from accepting referral commissions under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, so no commission or referral fee is paid to members — the programme is designed that way. Your clients get 20% off paid plans for 12 months instead, and your benefits (free portal, free own-firm plan, directory listing, white-labelled reports) all fall outside the Act's prohibitions.

What exactly do my clients get? +

Businesses that sign up through your invite get 20% off any paid plan for their first 12 months, on top of the free plan everyone gets. They also get a smoother year-end: you already have read-only access to their books, so no more chasing Tally backups over WhatsApp.

What access do I get to client data? +

Read-only, and only after the client accepts your link request. You can view invoices, purchases, payments, accounting reports and GSTR-ready exports, and mark compliance checklists. You cannot create or edit their records, and the client can revoke access at any time.

Can existing clients of my practice use the discount? +

Yes. Any business that signs up to Mera Invoices through your invite gets the client discount — whether they're a new engagement or a client you've served for years.

What's the catch? +

Our honest view: CAs who work inside well-organised client books recommend the software that keeps them organised. The free portal, the member benefits and the client discount are our marketing budget — spent on you and your clients instead of on ads. No lock-in, and your clients' data remains theirs.

This filing season, chase nothing.

Free portal for your practice. Real benefits for you. A better deal for your clients.
