Manage Society Events: Duties, Flat Collection & Accounts in One Place

Ganapati, Navratri, Diwali, a building anniversary — every society function runs on two things: who does what, and where the money goes. Do it on paper or scattered WhatsApp messages and it turns into confusion and mistrust. MonkSplit's Society Events keeps duties, flat-wise collection, donations and expenses in one live, shared place — so the whole committee sees the same numbers.

The real problem with running a society function

A festival committee juggles a dozen things at once. One person is arranging the idol, another the decoration, someone is collecting money flat by flat, and a treasurer is paying vendors. By the end, nobody quite agrees on how much came in, how much went out, and what's left. The questions that cause friction are always the same: Which flats haven't paid yet? How much did the sponsor give? What did we spend on sound? Is there any balance left over? A shared, transparent record answers all of them at a glance.

What Society Events does

It brings the four parts of any function together and links them into one running total:

1. Duty board — who does what

Create a task (Decoration, Prasad, Idol, Pandal, Sound, Cultural program) and assign it to a committee member. Each task carries a status the assigned person updates themselves — To-do → Working → In progress → Done — plus an optional item, due date and note. Everyone can see, in real time, what's handled and what still needs attention.

2. Flat-wise collection register

Record each contribution against the flat: flat number, owner or tenant, name, phone, amount, and a Paid / Pending tag you can flip with one tap. The register shows exactly how much has been collected and how much is still pending — so following up with the remaining flats takes seconds, not a spreadsheet.

3. Donations & sponsorships

Larger contributions — a family donation, a shop's sponsorship for a banner — are logged separately with the giver's name, amount and a note. They add straight into the event's income.

4. Expenses

Every payment out — decoration, prasad, sound, lighting, gifts — is logged with a category and amount. The moment you add one, the balance in hand updates.

Everything is linked — one honest number

This is the point most tools miss. In Society Events, the pieces aren't separate lists — they roll into a single account:

Flat collection + Donations + Sponsorships = Total income
Total income − Total spent = Balance in hand

The summary screen shows all of it together — collected, pending, donations, sponsorships, spent, and the balance remaining — so the committee always knows the true financial position without anyone doing the maths by hand.

Shared live, so the whole committee is in sync

One person creates the event and shares a join code, QR, or a WhatsApp invite. Committee members sign in, join, and everyone sees the same live data. When the treasurer marks a flat as paid or a helper flips a duty to Done, it updates on every phone instantly — on the website and inside the Monkilla Android app, using the same account.

Share the accounts with everyone

Transparency builds trust, so sharing the numbers is one tap. Export a plain summary to WhatsApp for the whole society, download the collection register as a CSV, or generate a clean printable PDF of the full account — collection, donations, expenses and duties — to put up on the notice board or file for records.
