The UAE eInvoicing mandate is on the way, and every business needs an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) to stay compliant.

Choosing an ASP is also an opportunity. The tool you pick can do a lot more for your business than compliance alone.

Zoho Books keeps you compliant. It also runs your accounting, manages your finances, and helps you understand how your business is really performing.

▶️ Choose more than an ASP. Choose Zoho Books.

Zoho is an Accredited Service Provider for UAE eInvoicing.

On the issue raised by FlexyPe on @ZohoBooks through social media and reported in the press: this issue was not from Zoho Books.

It was caused by incorrect payment status updates from a third-party tool that FlexyPe was using called Cashfree, which marked incomplete or dropped transactions as successful, leading to reconciliation discrepancies.

We at Zoho, have actually helped FlexyPe identify the issue and CashFree has acknowledged that the issue was on their side. The Cashfree team has publicly confirmed the issue: https://t.co/egLoRAhcWH

Unfortunately, while the investigation was still underway, FlexyPe prematurely took to social media and made a big attack on Zoho Books that was entirely false. Even after it became clear that the issue was not with Zoho, they have not retracted their falsehood. They continue to insinuate that somehow Zoho was partially at fault, which is again false.

As a result, we are compelled to pursue stringent legal action on FlexyPe for posting this malicious false claims.

False statements like these are not going to change the value we provide to our partners and customers. Thank you to all of you for standing with us and looking out for us! 🙏

You think you’re drinking Fruit Juice? THINK AGAIN.
Big food brands are selling sugar water with shiny ‘fresh fruit’ pictures on the front. And hiding the truth in tiny fine print at the back of packet which reads ‘Pictures for marketing purposes only’. SERIOUSLY?

Today in Parliament, I called this out.

Because these misleading branding and false advertisement are pushing millions, especially kids, into diabetes and lifestyle diseases.

Time to expose the truth behind your juice box.

₹19,000 crore.

That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’

Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers.
From the poorest accounts in the system.
Their crime? They didn’t have enough money.

A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty.
A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty.
A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty.

The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor.

Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances.

In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.

In Parliament today I proposed optional Joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples.

Family A
Both spouses earn ₹10 lakh each.
Total household income is ₹20 lakh.
Tax: zero

Family B
One spouse earns ₹20 lakh. The other stays home to raise their child.
Total household income is ₹20 lakh.
Tax: ₹1.92 lakh

The only difference is how the salary is split between the two spouses.

One roof. One kitchen. One household budget. But when tax time comes, the family disappears.

The tax system sees two individuals. A husband and wife become strangers. No clubbing of income or rebates.

In Parliament today I proposed optional joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples, so families with uneven incomes are not unfairly penalised. If implemented, then Family A and Family B both will pay Zero Tax.

The “honeymoon phase” is one of the most harmful marriage myths. Young couples go into marriage expecting immediate bliss. Even worse, they believe that however happy they are in the first few years, that’s the happiest they’ll ever be. The truth is exactly the inverse. It’s hardest at the start. Anything worth doing is always going to be most difficult when you first start doing it. Gets better and better as you go. Stick with it. The real honeymoon comes later. You need to grow into it.

Just like your phone or computer has a unique ID (MAC address), your browser also has a unique ID - visible only to the browser maker - used for updates and maintenance.

When the browser maker also runs an ad business, that ID can technically be used to track and target you.

Apple, which takes privacy seriously, randomizes MAC addresses to prevent device tracking.

Similarly, Zoho’s Ulaa, which takes privacy seriously, auto-generates and resets browser IDs - protecting you from tracking and targeting.

The beauty is that users don’t need to do a thing - all the protection happens quietly behind the scenes.

“You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes” (James 4:14).

Some vapors—J. I. Packer (93), John MacArthur (86), R. C. Sproul (78), Tim Keller (72), Voddie Baucham Jr. (56), Charlie Kirk (31)—are longer than others.

Those in Christ pray:

“O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! . . . So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” (Pss. 39:4–5; 90:12).

For those in Christ, life and death are both winning propositions: “to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). “For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep” (1 Thess. 4:14).

For those in Christ, “the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality,” with the result that “Death is swallowed up in victory.” And we can look death in the face and smile: “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Cor. 15:54–57).

Those in Christ long to hear these words from the Master: “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matt. 25:21, 23).

May the Lord find us faithful to the end.

Our payslip templates are a hit with customers and competitors alike! But copying from our site? That’s bold. Hey @RazorpayX , you might’ve taken ‘inspiration’ a tad too literally. We’re flattered!😇

[Zoho Books @ZohoBooks]

Hey Aditya, that's fair! These things aren’t always obvious unless you’ve worked with them. Purchase orders and sales orders help the buyer and seller plan and confirm what's being purchased or sold, and stay on the same page. On the other hand, the invoice is what actually asks for payment and completes the sale.

The cases shown below are just examples, and the flow can vary case to case. Hope this helps 🙂
