Every karigar, every lot, every gram returned
Karigar Bench replaces the issue register and the karigar khata. Work is issued by karigar, process and lot. On return, gross, stone and net weight, pieces, scrap and filings are entered, and labour is calculated on the spot.

The karigar khata, kept to the milligram
Issue slips
Print or send a slip for each lot with design, purity, gross weight, stones and the agreed process allowance.
Process routing
Lots move through casting, filing, setting and polishing. Each step is a receipt and a fresh issue, with loss recorded per step.
Scrap and filings back
Scrap, filings and broken pieces are weighed and returned separately, so a careful karigar is credited for every gram.
Labour charges
Per gram, per piece or per design rates. Labour is calculated on receipt and shown on the karigar statement.
Karigar balance
Every karigar has an opening, issued, received and closing balance in fine weight, updated as each slip closes.
Karigar app
Karigars see their own slips, balance and earnings in Hindi or English, and can raise a query on any entry.
Issue, work, receive, settle
Every lot follows the same four steps, whether it goes to a karigar in your factory or to an outside workshop.
- 01
Issue with a slip
Supervisor issues metal and stones to the karigar for a lot and process. Both see the slip on screen or in the app.
- 02
Work at the bench
The lot stays open at the bench with its fine weight. The karigar can see what they hold at any time.
- 03
Receive and weigh
Finished pieces, scrap and filings are weighed back. Loss is shown against the allowance for that process.
- 04
Settle labour
Labour is calculated and added to the karigar's statement. Balances carry forward in fine weight.
The same rules on both sides of the bench
The bench is where trust is won or lost. Karigar Bench shows the karigar exactly what the owner sees, in their own language, with the same agreed allowances.
AI only flags numbers
Any review of a karigar's work is done by people, with the karigar present and records shown to them.
Allowances agreed in advance
Loss allowances are set by process and recorded, so karigars and owners see the same rules.
Own records, always visible
Karigars can see their own issue, receipt and labour records on a simple app.
Encrypted, never sold
Workshop data is encrypted and used only to run your factory.
About Karigar Bench
Works together with
Does it work for outside karigars?
Yes. Outside workshops and job workers are set up like benches. Issue slips can be shared on their phone, and balances are kept per workshop.
Can a lot be split between karigars?
Yes. A lot can be split at issue or at any process step. Each part keeps its own weight and loss record and joins back on receipt.
What if a karigar disputes a weight?
They raise a query in the app. The supervisor reweighs with the karigar present, and the correction is recorded with both names and the time.
