Reported activity, and what it means for your accounts
These reports describe some units and not all of them. The accounting points are our general analysis. Check the treatment of your own goods and processes.
| Area | Reported activity | Accounting points to raise |
|---|---|---|
| Okhla | Garment and printing units are mentioned, along with flatted factories | Job work and export paperwork for garments. Paper stock and work-in-progress by order for printers |
| Wazirpur | Metal-related units, with pickling mentioned in an environmental survey | Material yield and scrap, process charges, and any compliance costs |
| Mayapuri | Described as a small-industry area and a metal and scrap market | Scrap purchases from unregistered sellers, weight-based stock, and ask about the GST treatment of scrap |
| Naraina | Heavy kitchen and hotel equipment mentioned in one report | Made-to-order projects, customer advances and installation |
| Bawana and Narela | Plots and flatted units under government schemes. Reported auctions in 2024 and freehold policy talk in 2025 | Lease, allotment and premium records, and whether costs are capital or revenue |
| Narela | Plastics, cable, food processing and footwear named in a 2022 university study, with repeated press reports of fires at slipper and shoe units | For footwear: GST set by price per pair, credit building up when materials carry a higher rate, and stock in pairs and sizes |
| Patparganj | Offset printing described in a 2022 trade report, and garment units reported to have shrunk | As for Okhla: paper stock and work in progress for printers, and job work for garments |
| Mangolpuri | Press reports name a shoe factory, a circuit-breaker unit and a rubber unit, so no single trade is shown | Follow your own product's workflow. For footwear, see the Narela row above |
What most units share
- Raw material, work in progress and finished goods records
- Job work challans, and returns on time
- Wages, overtime, and PF and ESI where applicable
- A fixed asset register for machines
- TDS on contractors and rent, where applicable
The full workflow is on accounting for manufacturers.
Choosing someone
Ask whether they have handled a process like yours, how they will learn how material moves through your unit, and how your stock count will be checked. Those two things are hard to do from a distance, and are where location can genuinely matter.
AccountOrbit takes enquiries by phone from anywhere in Delhi, including these areas, but has no office in any of them.
Pages for individual areas
We have a separate page only where an area's trade changes what your books need. Each describes the trade. AccountOrbit takes enquiries by phone from these areas, but has no office in them.
