Ready to run your PG with less chaos?
Automated Rent Invoicing for PG and Hostel Owners
The Invoices area in TrackMyPG is where you generate bills, download PDFs, and see paid vs unpaid — aligned with your invoice settings and PG context.
- PDF invoices
- Line-item billing
- Paid vs unpaid
- Per-PG templates
Line items and templates follow what you configure for the PG; tenants see consistent documents instead of ad hoc messages.
- downloadable invoices
- Line items
- rent + utilities + charges
- Paid / unpaid
- status on every bill
- Per-PG
- invoice settings
The problem
What PG owners struggle with today
Most PG operators still coordinate tenants, rent, and documents across Excel, WhatsApp, and paper registers. That works until bed count, staff handovers, or month-end reconciliation expose gaps nobody can audit quickly.
- Excel sheets and WhatsApp threads become the unofficial ledger
- Duplicate tenant rows after busy move-in weekends
- ID copies and agreements scattered across phones and folders
- Payment screenshots without invoice IDs at month-end
- Room swaps that never update the “master” occupancy tab
- Owners cannot see outstanding rent without calling the desk
