Frequently asked questions

How do I split a Diwali office mithai pool fairly?+

For an office team of 8-15, equal contribution per person is the simplest. For larger teams or hierarchical pools, split proportionally to seniority bands. The Diwali gift pool calculator handles both. Settle via UPI in one tap.

What is a typical per-person Diwali pool budget in 2026?+

In Indian metros, a typical per-person Diwali pool spend ranges from ₹1,500 to ₹4,000 covering mithai, gift exchanges, building staff bonuses, and group decorations. Tier-2 cities run 30-40% lower.

How do I split a building Diwali decoration cost across flats?+

Most apartment associations split decoration cost equally across flats; some weight by flat size. The monthly expense splitter on Niptao handles both methods, with a UPI deep-link for the building treasurer to collect.
