Cash counter
Count the drawer note by note, and see whether it matches.
How to use it at closing time
- Sort the notes into bundles first, largest to smallest. Counting from a mixed pile is where mistakes start.
- Type how many of each note and coin you have. The total adds itself.
- Enter the cash that should be there — yesterday’s closing cash, plus cash received today, minus cash paid out.
- If it says short or over, check the day’s cash entries before you check the drawer again. A missed entry is more common than missing money.
When the drawer does not match
A difference of a round amount — exactly ₹100 or ₹500 — usually means one note was miscounted or one payment was not written down. An odd amount usually means change was given wrongly, or a small expense like tea or freight was paid from the drawer and not recorded.
Either way, write the difference down the same evening. A shortage noted today is a question; one found a week later is a guess.
Let the book tell you what should be there
The hard half of this sum is not the counting. It is knowing what the drawer should hold. FastBilling keeps a cash account that moves with every bill, receipt and payment, so the figure is there when you close.
