What is a Gullak?

A budget for one plan: a trip, a month of groceries, a party. Lekhhaa keeps count. Your money stays in your own bank.

Start a Gullak, free

Most group trips in India already run on a kitty: everyone sends ₹5,000 to one friend, who pays for the villa, the scooties and the dinners. It works — until nobody can remember what was spent, someone put in less, and the leftover is split by guesswork.

Lekhhaa’s Gullak keeps that kitty honest. Log each contribution and each spend; the app shows the balance left, what each person has put in and used, and — when the trip ends — exactly what each person gets back, even when people chipped in different amounts. A solo Gullak works the same way for a forex card, a monthly grocery budget or a festival fund. Lekhhaa keeps the record; money still moves through your own UPI app.

Why use a prefund wallet

Solo or group

A solo wallet for your own budget, or a kitty for trips, flats, office parties and festivals.

See what’s left

One big number and a bar that drains as you spend — no spreadsheet maths.

Fair refunds

Leftover goes back by what each person put in minus their share of spends — not a rough equal split.

Only who it was for

Tap people off a spend they weren’t part of; their share stays in the pot for them.

Top-up reminders

Running low? Send a ready WhatsApp message with exactly who needs to add how much.

No app for friends

Add people by name — they don’t need to install anything.

How a kitty works

  1. 1

    Start a kitty

    Name it, add who’s in (or pick a Split group) and set how much each person puts in.

  2. 2

    Spend from the pot

    Log each spend as Debit. Everyone sees the balance left and their own share.

  3. 3

    Close and return the rest

    At the end, Lekhhaa shows the fewest UPI payments that give everyone back exactly what’s theirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a prefund wallet?+

A pot of money you put aside before spending — for yourself (a trip budget, forex card, monthly groceries) or with a group (a trip kitty). You log what goes in and what comes out, and always see what’s left.

How is the leftover in a kitty split?+

Each person gets back what they put in minus their share of the spends they were part of. If Rahul put in ₹5,000 and Priya ₹3,000 and they spent ₹6,000 together, Rahul gets ₹2,000 back and Priya ₹0 — not ₹1,250 and ₹750.

Does Lekhhaa hold or move the money?+

No. Lekhhaa is a record, not a bank or payments app. The person holding the kitty keeps the cash in their own account; contributions, refunds and top-ups go through any UPI app.

What if the kitty runs out?+

You can keep logging spends — the balance goes negative and Lekhhaa shows who needs to top up, with a ready-to-send WhatsApp message.

Do my friends need the app?+

No. Add them by name. Friends who do have Lekhhaa can log spends and contributions themselves.

Is it free?+

Yes, prefund wallets are free, like the rest of Lekhhaa.
