Bihar Sharif, the headquarters of Nalanda district, has a busy trading culture with wholesale markets, small manufacturers and many self-employed people. When a product-based direct-selling company here starts to grow beyond a few hundred distributors, notebooks and spreadsheets stop working. That is where MLM software in Bihar Sharif comes in. This article does not make big claims. It simply walks through each feature, what it does and what you should check before you accept it from any vendor.
1. Distributor Registration and KYC
Every distributor record starts with registration. A good system captures name, mobile number, address, sponsor ID, placement (if your plan needs it) and bank details. KYC documents such as PAN and Aadhaar-based address proof can be uploaded and then approved or rejected by an admin. Payouts should be blocked automatically until KYC is approved. This one rule saves a lot of trouble later.
What to check
- Can the admin see who approved a KYC and when?
- Is mobile OTP verification available at sign-up?
- Can distributors correct details only through a request, not freely?
2. Genealogy Tree and Downline Views
The genealogy tree shows how distributors are connected through sponsorship. For binary plans it shows left and right legs; for unilevel plans it shows levels. Distributors should see only their own downline, while the admin can search the full tree. Large trees should load in parts so the page does not freeze on a slow mobile connection, which matters in towns where network speed varies.
3. Product Catalogue and Orders
Because a legal direct-selling business earns from product sales, the order module is the heart of the software. It should support a product catalogue with MRP, distributor price, GST rate, HSN code and business volume (BV) or point value (PV). Orders create invoices, and commissions are calculated from the BV or PV of those orders, not from registrations.
4. Commission Engine
The commission engine applies your written plan: binary matching, matrix levels, unilevel percentages, rank bonuses or repurchase income. It should run on a schedule (daily, weekly or monthly), keep a log of every calculation and allow a preview before the payout is confirmed. Caps, carry-forward rules and minimum payout thresholds should be configurable, not hard-coded.
5. E-Wallet
The e-wallet holds each distributor's approved earnings. Every credit and debit should appear as a ledger line with date, reason and reference. Withdrawals go through a request-and-approve flow, with TDS and admin charges deducted as per your policy and your CA's guidance.
6. E-Pin Management
Some companies use e-pins as prepaid codes linked to a product package. If you use them, the software must tie each pin to a real product order and keep a record of who generated, transferred and used it. E-pins should never become a way to sell "positions" without products.
7. Reports
Useful reports include sales by product, sales by distributor, payout summaries, TDS deducted, GST collected, pending KYC and returns. Reports should export to Excel or PDF so your accountant can work with them directly.
8. Distributor App and Notifications
A simple Android app (or a mobile-friendly web panel) lets distributors check orders, wallet balance, downline and announcements. SMS or WhatsApp notifications for order confirmation and payouts reduce phone calls to your office.
How a Typical Project Runs
Most projects follow the same simple path. First, we read your written plan, product list and policies, and list every rule that is unclear. Second, we agree on scope, timeline and support terms in writing. Third, we configure the system and share a test environment where your team can try every screen. Fourth, we run sample commission cycles together and compare them with manual calculations. Only after you sign off on testing do we move to live data, staff training and launch. After launch, we stay available for support and planned improvements. We do not promise any business results; our job is to give you software that is accurate, transparent and easy for your team and distributors to use.
Compliance Basics You Should Not Skip
This guide is about legal, product-based direct selling. In India, direct selling is governed by the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules, 2021, while pyramid schemes and money circulation schemes are banned, including under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978. Software cannot make a business legal, but it can help a genuine business keep clean records. Before launch, check these points:
- Genuine products: every commission should come from the sale of real goods or services to real customers.
- No joining-fee-only income: nobody should earn simply because someone else paid to join.
- Transparent plan: the commission plan should be written down clearly and shown to every distributor before they join.
- Cooling-off and returns: buyers and distributors should be able to cancel or return as per the rules and your policy.
- KYC and grievance redressal: verify identities and give people a clear way to raise complaints.
- Records and GST invoicing: keep proper sales records and issue correct GST invoices.
This is general information, not legal advice. Please consult a lawyer or chartered accountant who works with direct-selling companies before you finalise your plan.

हिंदी में पढ़ें: बिहार शरीफ के लिए MLM सॉफ्टवेयर के मुख्य फीचर
बिहार शरीफ में व्यापार और छोटे उद्योगों की अच्छी परंपरा है। अगर आपकी डायरेक्ट सेलिंग कंपनी असली प्रोडक्ट बेचती है और डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर की संख्या बढ़ रही है, तो कॉपी-रजिस्टर या Excel से हिसाब रखना मुश्किल हो जाता है। सही MLM सॉफ्टवेयर इस काम को व्यवस्थित करता है।
सबसे पहले रजिस्ट्रेशन और KYC आता है। हर डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर का नाम, मोबाइल, पता, स्पॉन्सर और बैंक विवरण दर्ज होता है, और KYC मंज़ूर होने तक पेआउट रुका रहना चाहिए। फिर जीनियोलॉजी ट्री आता है, जिसमें हर डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर अपनी डाउनलाइन देख सकता है।
सबसे अहम हिस्सा प्रोडक्ट और ऑर्डर मॉड्यूल है। कमीशन ऑर्डर के BV या PV से बनना चाहिए, रजिस्ट्रेशन से नहीं। कमीशन इंजन आपके लिखित प्लान के अनुसार गणना करता है और पेआउट से पहले प्रीव्यू दिखाता है। ई-वॉलेट में हर क्रेडिट और डेबिट की एंट्री साफ़ दिखती है, और निकासी पर TDS जैसी कटौती नियम के अनुसार होती है।
रिपोर्ट Excel या PDF में निकलनी चाहिए ताकि आपका CA आसानी से काम कर सके। मोबाइल ऐप या मोबाइल-फ्रेंडली पैनल से डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर अपना ऑर्डर, वॉलेट और सूचनाएँ खुद देख सकते हैं, जिससे ऑफिस में फ़ोन कम आते हैं।
Givni के साथ काम का तरीक़ा सीधा है। पहले हम आपका लिखित प्लान, प्रोडक्ट सूची और नीतियाँ पढ़ते हैं और जो नियम साफ़ नहीं हैं उन पर सवाल पूछते हैं। फिर काम, समय और सपोर्ट की शर्तें लिखित में तय होती हैं। इसके बाद टेस्ट सिस्टम में सेटिंग होती है, जहाँ आपकी टीम हर स्क्रीन ख़ुद देख सकती है। नमूना डेटा से पूरी गणना जाँचने के बाद ही असली डेटा पर लॉन्च होता है। हम किसी कमाई या बिज़नेस नतीजे का वादा नहीं करते, हमारा काम सही और पारदर्शी सॉफ्टवेयर देना है।
एक ज़रूरी बात: यह गाइड केवल कानूनी, प्रोडक्ट-आधारित डायरेक्ट सेलिंग बिज़नेस के बारे में है। भारत में Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules, 2021 लागू हैं और पिरामिड स्कीम व मनी सर्कुलेशन स्कीम पर प्रतिबंध है। इसलिए कमीशन असली प्रोडक्ट की बिक्री से जुड़ा होना चाहिए, सिर्फ़ जॉइनिंग फीस से कमाई नहीं होनी चाहिए, प्लान पारदर्शी हो, कूलिंग-ऑफ और रिटर्न की सुविधा हो, KYC हो, शिकायत निवारण की व्यवस्था हो और GST बिल सहित सही रिकॉर्ड रखे जाएँ। यह कानूनी सलाह नहीं है, अपने वकील या CA से ज़रूर बात करें।

Frequently Asked Questions
Which feature should a new direct-selling company in Bihar Sharif set up first?
Start with product catalogue, orders and KYC. Commissions depend on clean order data, and payouts depend on approved KYC, so these two modules form the base for everything else.
Can we start with fewer features and add more later?
Yes. Many businesses begin with registration, orders, a basic commission plan and the e-wallet, then add the app, e-pins or extra reports once the core process is stable.
Does the software work in Hindi?
Distributor panels and apps can be built with Hindi labels and messages where needed. Discuss the screens you want in Hindi during the requirement stage.

No. Software only applies the plan you give it. Please get your plan reviewed by a legal or CA professional familiar with the Direct Selling Rules before launch.
