Diwali

The organizer's reality

Still running your society's Diwali like this?

  • Per-flat fund collected in cash or UPI, tracked in a spreadsheet

    Only the treasurer can open it, and only the treasurer understands it.

  • Lighting, decoration, bhandara, fireworks and gift budgets

    Never add up the same way twice, however carefully it's tallied.

  • Staff and security-guard gifting decided last-minute

    Often unevenly, because there was never a real budget line for it.

  • No one outside the committee can see where the fund went

    So next year's collection starts from a trust deficit.

  • Vendor payments tracked across three different UPI apps

    Nobody, including the treasurer, has the full picture.

The UtsavMitra way

One fund, one ledger, every flat can see it.

One app your whole society can trust. Fund collection tracked. Lighting and bhandara expenses visible. Tasks assigned. Reminders automatic.

  • Set up in under a minute — invite via link, no OTPs
  • Free to use — for every society

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Can we include staff or security-guard gifting as its own budget line?

Yes — create a dedicated category so gifting stays separate from decoration and bhandara spend.

Our society collects a lump maintenance top-up for Diwali, not per-event chanda — does that fit?

Yes — log it as a single fund collection and track expenses against it exactly like any other festival budget.

Can residents see the final hisaab without asking the treasurer?

Yes — every invited member can view the live budget and ledger at any time, no separate request needed.

Is there a Diwali budget calculator, or do we have to follow a fixed fund scheme?

Neither — set your own Diwali budget (lighting, decoration, bhandara, gifting) and UtsavMitra splits it into per-family chanda automatically. No calculator or fixed scheme needed.

Is it free?

Yes — free to use. Pricing will stay transparent and society-friendly as we grow. No surprise charges.

Which festivals are supported?

30+ built-in templates including Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, Navratri, Diwali, Holi, Onam, Pongal, Chhath, Baisakhi, Eid and more. You can also add your own custom event — housewarmings, weddings, society meets.

Can families or friend groups use it?

Absolutely. UtsavMitra is built for societies and committees, but the same tools work great for families, friend groups, offices, or any group planning a festival together.

Is it available on Android and iOS?

Yes — UtsavMitra is live now on both Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.

Where can I download UtsavMitra for iPhone?

UtsavMitra is available now on the App Store, alongside Google Play for Android.

Do all members need to install the app?

Only the organizer and members who want to contribute or track things. For everyone else, you can add them as external members — the organizer records their chanda on their behalf, and they'll get plain WhatsApp / SMS receipts without ever opening the app.

Is our society's data private?

Yes. Your society's data belongs to your society — only members you invite can see it. Data is encrypted in transit and stored securely on Indian-region servers.
