Shagun Register

A shagun register is only worth having if it is still there at the next function, on whatever phone you have then, and if it can remember what each family gave you years ago. The calculators here compute something and hand it back; this one keeps records. It also holds other people’s names and what they gave, so it is stored in your account rather than left in a browser that can be cleared. Everything else on FreePanda still runs without one.

Only people who have been given access to your organisation. A guest list and the amounts people gave are kept in your account, are never shown to other accounts, and are never used for advertising. Roles decide what each person can do: someone at the gift desk can record and correct entries without seeing anything else in the account.

Received is what guests give you at a function you are hosting. Given is what you give at one you attend, or what you return to someone. When you create an event you say whether you are hosting or attending, and every entry defaults to the matching direction — you can still change it on any single entry.

Every guest is one person in your directory across all your events. Their page adds up everything they have given you and everything you have given them, and says which way the balance runs — for example, that they gave you ₹2,100 at your wedding and you gave them ₹1,100 at theirs. It is the memory a paper register loses between functions.

You get a warning, not a block. If the name matches someone already in your list — the same phone number, or the same name with the same or a blank village — you are shown who, and can use that person or add a new one. Two different Ramesh Kumars from different villages are never confused. Separately, if someone already has an envelope at this event you are told what was recorded and by whom, so two people at the desk do not both take the same one.

Entries you take while the connection is down are kept on the phone and sent automatically as soon as it returns; each carries a unique id, so a retry can never record an envelope twice. Searching your existing guest directory needs a connection, but adding someone new on the spot does not.

Edit the entry. Every change is recorded with what it was before, what it became and who changed it. An entry you recorded by mistake can be voided — it stays on the register, marked as voided, rather than disappearing, because a register that can quietly lose a line cannot be trusted.

It locks the register: no new entries, no edits, no voids, until someone with permission reopens it. Close the event once the function is over and the totals have been checked.

The free plan holds one event, with no limit on how many entries it contains — the tool never turns an envelope away in the middle of a function. Larger plans hold more events. Deleting an event frees its slot.
