There is huge demand for Accounting / Finance software in India with specific 
requirement . Though there are many ONE for ALL kind of s/w in Market no one 
is Perfect . Few ppl with Commerce background had share their -ve feedback 
for GNUcash and  KMyMoney .

	There are many small organizations in India like "Patpedi" ( Small 
cooperative bank ) . Who do same task like a bank does every day .
They need such s/w which is not as Big as Banking s/w . But should do enough 
things so that it will save Time and improve productivity of "Patpedi" .
{ more about PatPedi I got this info by Google.com  : 
 PatPedi ? 
"The patpedi is a co-operative organization that can be by anyone to help 
people have better access to financial loans."
Normally " all management level employees work for the organization completely 
free of cost. Their  lower level staff is paid but they do this purely as 
community service, ”  }

	Even their are lots of small Organizations in every village called "Bachat 
Gat" ( Small cooperative Group for  Saving small amount for every days or 
weeks ). I am not sure about their requirement . But if we able to provide 
easy to use accounting / finance s/w then they will definitely use it.
	These organizations are so small that they really can't afford any License 
s/w , but still afford to use computer ( Normally donated by someone ) . They 
normally use s/w developed by local developers or Pirated s/w .
	Still I need more Requirement study on these issue .
I may be wrong about above info . ( I don't have any Commerce background .)
But still I want to know your comments on this .

Yes , Tax is one more issue in Accounting and Finance area .
Bocz every country differ in Tax policy . And Tax policy also differ 
frequently . So if we modify or develop new Personal Accounting / Finance s/w 
then that will really help our nation .
