Half the regulars at an Indian counter do not pay on the day. The bill still has to be right, and the money still has to come back.
A till built for card-paying strangers treats credit as an edge case. A counter in a market town does not have that luxury: the regulars take goods now and settle weekly or monthly, and the shop runs on a book of names.
Billing on udhaar here is a choice at the counter, not a workaround. The sale goes to the party’s khata instead of the drawer, the balance moves, the due date comes from their credit terms, and the reminders that chase everything else chase this too.
Exactly as any other counter bill.
The bill goes to their khata rather than the drawer.
A warning shows when they are already past their credit limit.
Payments post against the bill, and the balance falls.
Counter billing for a shop with a queue: products a tap away, a barcode scan for the rest, split payments, and a shift that opens with a float and closes with a cash count. Counter bills land in the same books as every other invoice.
A till is used in bursts — open the shift in the morning, bill all day, count the drawer at night — so the parts that matter are speed at the counter and a clean close.
