How do siblings pool money for a Raksha Bandhan gift?+
For 2-5 siblings buying a joint gift, use the group gift pool calculator. Typical pool: ₹2,000-10,000 split equally or proportionally to earning bands. Settle via UPI to whoever physically buys the gift.
How do I send a rakhi pool when sister is in another city?+
One sibling collects via UPI (each contributes through Niptao's UPI deep-link), buys the rakhi + gift, ships to sister. Niptao tracks who paid + who still owes for the courier cost too.
Should we split the Raksha Bandhan family lunch equally among siblings?+
Most families split equally among adult siblings. If parents are present and contributing, exclude them from the split. Niptao handles dynamic group composition per-expense.
