Collect
Collect: Get Paid with Proof
Turn milestone work into airtight, paid invoices — with attached proof, signed client approval, and a court-ready evidence pack behind every rupee.
Collect is InvoiceKaro's get-paid-with-proof layer for project and milestone work. Instead of just sending an invoice and hoping, you track each milestone, attach the proof you delivered, capture a signed client approval, and chase dues automatically — so when a payment is questioned or delayed, you have an undeniable record.
Why proof matters
For freelancers and agencies, the gap between *“work delivered”* and *“money received”* is where disputes live. A client forgets they signed off, claims the scope was different, or simply stalls. Collect closes that gap by binding three things to every milestone:
The two sub-tabs
Open Collect from the main navigation and you'll find two tabs:
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your receivables at a glance — the Payment Health snapshot, with total receivable, overdue amount, the worst overdue (in days), and the MSME 45-day breach amount. |
| Projects | Your client projects as a list or Kanban board, each with milestones, proof, approvals, reminders and evidence packs. |
The Dashboard answers *“how much am I owed and what's at risk?”*; Projects is where you do the actual work of delivering, getting approval, and collecting.
When to use Collect
- Milestone or retainer projects — design sprints, development phases, consulting deliverables — where you bill in stages.
- High-value invoices where a clear paper trail protects you if payment is disputed or delayed.
- MSME suppliers who want the 45-day payment clock tracked automatically under the MSMED Act. See MSME protection.
