Release 2.0
Tally 9 Release 2.0 unleashes the full power of the new engine built into it to give you superlative performance.
The response time of the application can now be measured in seconds rather than minutes, even for high volume
data. This percolates down to a tenfold increase in performance in several operations. It will improve the user
experience with the application and will substantially increase productivity.
Tally 9 Release 2.0 is incorporated with several advanced features which bring about an overall improved
performance of the application. One of the most important advancements is the substantial increase in the speed
of several operations like loading of company data, backup and restore, reports generation, etc., thus giving an
improved and thrilling user experience.
Export to Excel
Export to Excel is a new feature that has been incorporated in this release of Tally 9. This feature enables the user
to export any report generated by Tally into Excel. Consequently the user can generate graphical representations
of his data for better visual presentation. It will considerably speed up and ease the process of filing e-VAT in the
future.
A single company data can now be accessed simultaneously by more than one Tally 9 Silver (Single User)
licenses.
Another development is the improved performance in Data migration. The application architecture has been
designed to reduce the memory usage during the migration process. This results in an increase in the speed of the
migration process and subsequent reduction in time required for the migration.
POS Invoice
Modifications have been done to ensure the appropriate display of Multi Mode Payment details that appear at the
bottom of the POS Invoice.
Earlier, printing ledgers using the Multi Account Printing option in Tally with Normal Ledger selected as the
Style of Report, Format as Condensed, and with Start fresh page for each Account set to Yes in the
Report Generation screen would print the Party’s Name only after the Party’s Address.
Go to Gateway of Tally> Multi Account Printing> Account Books> Ledger> Group pf Accounts> Select
Sundry Debtors or Sundry Creditors
However, modifications have been made to print the Party’s name prior to the party’s Address.
Corrections have been made to enable selecting Cost Centres using the button F4: Change Items while at the
Cost Centre Vouchers screen.
Go to Gateway of Tally> Display> Statements of Accounts> Cost Centres> Cost Centre Break-up>
Select the Cost Centre and drill down to the Cost Centre Vouchers screen.
TDS
The option Allow Alteration of TDS Rates in F12: Configure when clicked at the voucher level has been
replaced with Allow Alteration of TDS Rates for Lower Deduction.
Earlier, on selection of an Excise Purchase Invoice from the List of Purchases that appears in the Supplier
Details sub screen during an excise sales transaction, Tally would not allow you to trace back to the sub screen
and select an invoice from the list in case of a misjudgment on selection.
However, Tally 9 Release 2.0 is now made more flexible to accommodate such changes.
By default, the date that appears in the As on field in the Excise Opening Stock Creation screen is the Current
date specified. Earlier this field could not be modified. However, you now can enter the date of your choice in the
As on field.
M: Manufacturer List
Tally now offers the flexibility to select the details of a Manufacturer or Importer by clicking the M: Manufacturer
List button during an Excise Purchase transaction.
Toggling with the button allows you to select the Manufacturer or Importer from the List of Ledger Accounts
or enter details manually while at the Manufacturer/ Importer Details section in the Party Details screen.
The title Name and Address of Supplier of Goods if he is a Manufacturer or Importer which appears in the
excise sales invoice when Print Trader Supplier Info is set to Yes in the Invoice Print Configuration screen
has been changed to Name and Address of the Manufacturer/Importer.
Printing State and PIN Code
With Printing State and PIN Code set to Yes in F12: Configure> Printing> General, you can now print the
Buyer’s State and PIN Code in Sales invoice, Purchase invoice, Credit note and Printing through Multi
Account Printing, as entered at the time of Ledger creation.

UDFs migration
Migrating data from Tally 7.2 to Tally 9 Release 1.3 would not capture values for Ledger Object UDFs taking 1

Appropriate measures have been taken to ensure that the values are captured accurately.
Printing Bill wise details of ledgers using Multi Account Printing with Show Billwise Details also set to Yes
and Start fresh page for each account set to No would not display bill wise details in the report.
[Go to Gateway of Tally> Multi Account Printing> Account Books> Ledger> Group pf Accounts> select

Rejection Outward note
Tally shows a Negative Stock warning when passing a Rejection Outward note, even when there is stock for the
specific item.

When we set the budget for Cost Centers and try to view the Cost Center budget break up report, the values re
not displayed correctly.
This issue has been resolved. The reports as per the Cost Center Budget are displayed correctly.

This issue has been resolved. The party name will change in accordance with the name on the invoice.

Earlier making an advance payment to a party through the single entry mode would not calculate the TDS
amount. However, now the TDS amount appears appropriately.

Negative Stock Warning in Journal Voucher
Create a stock item with an opening balance of considerable units and pass a delivery note against it. Using a
Journal Voucher to record a sales transaction tracking the delivery note would display a warning message of
negative stock even though a considerable amount of stock was left over. The same has been addressed
appropriately in Journal voucher.

For example, In Tally 7.2, A purchase invoice followed by a sales invoice and then again a purchase invoice will
display in the stock vouchers report with all the sales entries listed first followed by all the purchase entries.
Tally 8.1, however, displays the vouchers in the order of their entry –Purchase – Sales – Purchase.
However, Tally 8.1 accurately considers the Last Purchase cost for Std Cost Valuation and the Last Sale Price for
Std Price valuation
Average Cost
When Multiple Sales and Purchases are made against Receipt and Delivery Notes at a rate different from that
specified in the Receipt and Delivery notes
For Example: Let us assume you have passed a Receipt Note for 100 nos. of an item @ Rs. 100 per item.
Subsequently you pass a Purchase Invoice for 30 nos of the item @ Rs. 120 against the above Receipt Note. This
means that some items are still pending against the tracking number.
In Tally 7.2, the difference in the rates would be incorrectly included in the original value The balance sheet
viewed with Avg. Cost valuation method displays closing stock values at Rs. 10,600.
This has been resolved in the new Tally 8.1, which accurately displays the Avg. Cost closing stock valuation in the
balance sheet as Rs. 10,000.
Tally 8.1 has resolved this and displays only the outstanding values in Due till today. (for Sundry Debtors and
Creditors)
Pending Tracking number values were approximate, even though quantities were accurate (causing few
Paise difference depending on context)
Tally 7.2 used to display pending Delivery/Receipt with approximate values, causing a small difference in the
values.
Tally 8.1 has resolved this and displays the pending Delivery/Receipt Notes values accurately.

OptimizeNetwork
LoadBuffering
FlushFile
OptimizeNetwork in Tally.ini
Setting OptimizeNetwork to No in Tally.ini reduces memory requirements and prevents the system from going
into a virtual memory mode although it slows down the generation of reports.
However, for users with a large volume of data, it is advised to use more than 500 MB of free memory and set
OptimizeNetwork to Yes . This increases load speed dramatically and generates reports faster.
LoadBuffering in Tally.ini
Certain types of data (such as, a large number of Batches, Godowns and Tracking numbers) very quickly exhaust
the available memory, when information is cached during loading. Set LoadBuffering in the Tally.ini to No , to
reduce this buffering, although it will result in a marked increase in network traffic.
For a lower volume of data (such as, a large number of masters and stock items, but a smaller number of batches,
Godowns and Tracking numbers), it is advised to set LoadBuffering to Yes
FlushFile in Tally.ini
For both Single and Multi users of Tally, it is practical to set FlushFile to No to facilitate Faster acceptance of
Masters and Vouchers as well as a marked improvement in accessing network data.
However, this could be risky in places with frequent power problems and without Power Backups. In which case, it
is advised to continue with the Tally.ini default setting FlushFile to Yes

Migrating Data
If you have enabled and used Payroll in Tally 7.2, before migrating data, ensure that the Payroll process for the
previous month is complete and processed because Payroll in Tally 9 will be effective from the date of migration.
1. Processing Payroll in Tally 9 has now become so easy that you can generate a Pay slip in four steps.
2. Pay Head and Salary details creation has become user-friendly and can be defined at the master level.
3. Though there is a hierarchy change in Pay Heads, after migration to Tally 9 the migration tool allows you
migrate the calculation type specified in Tally 7.2, thus allowing you to continue generating Payroll reports.
4. A simple re-configuration of the Pay Heads after migration allows you to continue with the Payroll
processing in Tally 9.

The Configuration settings of Country Details, Style of Names, Style of Dates and Configuration of Numbers are

America that have to be configured before creating a company. Refer the section Operations Configuration for
details on the other fields.
Creating a Company
C reating a Company involves providing basic information about the company whose books of accounts are to be
maintained in Tally.
Above is displayed an International Company Creation Screen. Note that the State and PIN Code fields are not
available.
Directory
T he data path where you want the company to be created is specified in the Directory field.
This field is skipped by default when you create the company in the data path given in the Tally.INI file. If you
want to change it, use the backspace key and modify it to the path required.
This is referred to as the TallyAnywhere concept – which is the ability to create/load companies in separate
directories. The Directory field is displayed while selecting Select , Create , Backup , Restore and Rewrite
options for a company. By default, the cursor will skip the field, presuming that you wish to use the default data
directory for your work. You may press Backspace to give a new path and work from there.
For example, the default Tally data directory could be C:\TALLY\DATA . You may now wish to create a new
company on C:\TALLY\PERSONAL , and some other companies on C:\TALLY\BRANCHES . The next time, the
default directory displays C:\TALLY\DATA , and if you wish to work on the data of your branches, press
Backspace and enter C:\TALLY\BRANCHES for the directory name. This displays the companies whose data is
stored in that location in the List of Companies . You can even give the path of a network server or any other
storage device.
Name
Enter the name of the company whose books are being opened. If you are a professional accountant and are
maintaining the books of your clients, give the Client Company's name.
In addition to the Company Name, Tally provides the facility to enter the Mailing Name field. It displays the
Company Name by default. You may change it as required, if the mailing name is different from the Company
Name. The mailing name and address details are picked up for inclusion in any report that needs the company
name and address as heading. For example:Balance Sheets, Statement of Accounts, and so on.
T ally does NOT restrict the number of lines for the address details. Tally accommodates all the entered
information and vertically compresses the same.
Note:
1. In the space provided for the A d d r e s s details, observe the vertical compression as
compared to the Mailing Name field where there is horizontal compression.
2. You can specify any length for the mailing name and you are permitted to give any number
of lines for the address. The information is completely visible.
3. Tally handles compressed information correctly while printing. It adjusts the reports
accordingly.
Select the Country from the List of Countries . The Statutory Features and Base Currency Symbol are
enabled in accordance with the country selected. For example, if the accounts belong to a company in India, the
base currency would be Indian Rupees. The Base Currency will appear with respect to the Country selected.

In most countries, the books of accounts of a company are maintained for a stipulated period like, 12 months, 15
months, and so on. This stipulated period is referred to as the Financial Year .
The stipulated period of the financial year is 12 months in most countries. Tally automatically considers 12 months
from the date you give here as the Financial Year.
For example, if you enter April 1, 2005 as the date, the Financial Year will be from April to March ending with
March 31, 2006. If you enter October 1, 2005 as the Financial Year From then the financial year will be from
October 2005 to September 2006 ending with 30th of September every year.
Tally allows you to maintain data for multiple years by changing the period ( Alt+F2 ) at the Gateway of Tally .
In addition, you can also specify the date of actual establishment of the company (date of incorporation)
Tally presumes that you wish to maintain books from the beginning of the financial year. Hence, Tally displays the
date given in Financial Year From field automatically.
The date for Books beginning from can be changed, in case of companies, which are incorporated in the middle
of the year. If your company is new, you can opt to start the books of accounts from the date of actual
establishment of the company (date of incorporation) but close books according to the Financial Year as specified
by you. Tally provides the required flexibility in such a case by allowing you to give the date when the books of
accounts actually began. Tally will open books from this date and close as on the last day of the Financial Year.
For example, if your company is established on August 19, 2005, the opening balances for all the accounts can be
given as on August 19, 2005 even though the Financial Year given is April 1, 2005 (April to March financial year).
The company's books will begin on August 19, 2005 and close on March 31, 2006, which ensures smooth
transition to the next year.
This concept can be applied even when you are migrating to Tally from any other system or from a manual
accounting system on any day during the Financial Year. Close books in that other system on the previous day
and start books on Tally from this day. You are allowed to give opening balances of all Ledger accounts including
Revenue accounts.
TallyVault Password
TallyVault is an enhanced security system, which allows for encryption of the company data. Encryption involves
converting normally accessible Tally information into unrecognisable information, which can only be reconverted
by authorised persons.
Give a password here and repeat the same in the Repeat field. This basically results in the creation of an
encrypted company whose information is not accessible to users other than the password holder.
Use Security Control?
Set this to Yes , if you want to initiate a password-protected system to control access to Tally data. Else, set this
to No .
If you opt for security control, Tally offers a comprehensive password based access control to different features of
Tally based on authority lists created by the Administrator. (The section on Security Control under Administer Tally
contains details on authority lists)
Assuming the Tally Vault Password and Use Security Control is set to Yes enter the Name of Administrator
, Password and Repeat in the respective fields.
Tally Audit allows the administrator or an auditor profile user to track changes in accounting information. If you
wish to use this facility, select Yes . Tally Audit will be available only to the administrator/auditor, through
Display of Statements of Accounts . It will be discussed in greater detail under the Security Control section in
Administer Tally.
On accepting the company creation screen, if you have specified Tally Vault password, Tally prompts you to enter
the TallyVault password as appears:
Then Tally prompts you to enter the Name of User and Password (if any) .

After verification Tally imports the latest statutory masters. Wait till the screen shows that 100% of import is

This completes the Company Creation process in Tally.
An explanation on the fields on the bottom of the Company creation screen follows:
The Base Currency Information is found in the bottom frame of the Company creation Screen. Base Currency is
the currency in which your accounts would be maintained. Financial statements are prepared in the base currency
by default and these are normally required to be submitted to local statutory authorities. The Base Currency
information in Tally varies with the country selected for Statutory Compliance.
You can record transactions and raise invoices in foreign currency; and also maintain bank accounts or ledgers in
foreign exchange, when required.

restricted to 2 decimal places
N o t e : The Name of the Company , cannot be translated or transliterated but will appear in

Loading a company
A newly created company loads automatically. However, for subsequent working, you must load or select the
company you want to work with from the List of Companies. (Select and Load are synonymous). A company can
be loaded in two ways:
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
1. Automatically by Tally.
When creating a company, Tally creates a sub-directory under its \DATA directory for the company. The directory
is allotted a number in serial order starting with 0001 (example – 10001, 10002…10009...10020, etc these are
system generated codes for the company).
In order to automatically load a company, Tally has to be configured appropriately by setting the Tally.ini file
(available in the Tally directory).
Ensure that Default Companies is set to Yes and specify the company number which has to be loaded
automatically, for example, Load = 10000
N o t e : You can specify any number here as per the information available in the data directory
( 1 0 0 0 0 or 1 0 0 0 2 or 1 0 0 0 3, e t c )
In order to load a company using the Select Company option, disable the default loading of a company in
Tally.ini file. Set Default Companies to No OR place a semi-colon before Load = 0001 (company number -
placing a semicolon means that the words following it in that line would not be executed. Each line is a separate

The books of Account of different companies belonging to the same management or owners are required to be
consolidated to present the financial position of the group of companies as a whole. This is mandatory in many
developed countries and currently shareholders would rather know the performance of the group as a whole and
not the performance of individual constituent companies.
Tally makes consolidation of accounts a simple task. You can consolidate the accounts of any number of
companies as well as keep them separate. You also have the option of bringing the companies into the group and
separating them at will.
The first step is to create a Group Company, which is simply a name and identity given to the merged accounts
of constituent (member) companies of the group. A group company may also include other group companies.
N o t e : Do not confuse the word Group to refer to a member of the group! It simply
contains the consolidated accounts of member companies.
Assume that yours is a global, trans-national organisation (or a 'group') headquartered in the UK having
subsidiary companies in countries around the world. The group has different lines of business. Let's say the
businesses are Thread, Fashion Retail, Home Fabrics and Accessories. You would prefer to present your group
accounts in groups according to their line of businesses, which in turn are grouped accounts of the individual
companies around the world.
A group company can be created only for companies that have already been loaded. The first step is to load the
companies whose accounts are to be grouped. The companies can be loaded automatically if specified in the
Tally.ini file. Alternatively, select the companies using F1: Select Cmp button, as shown:
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Press <ALT>+F3 or click the button [F3 : Create Cmp ] and select Create Group Company
Enter the name of the Group Company (which is mandatory), address and tax details and select the members of
the group company from List of Companies.
Say, you have selected the two members as shown. Select End of List to complete the selection process
The Group company Thread will be created and loaded. It also becomes the active company. Notice that the
constituent companies are given below the group company and are slightly indented to distinguish the Group
company.
You can now display and print Group accounts through the Thread Company.
Altering a Group Company
You can select or reject members using the Alter Mode. Any change will come in to effect only on shutting the
group company and then reloading it.
Note:
* It is advisable not to delete the member company, which belongs to Group Company
* If the member company has a password then without entering the password the Group
Company cannot be opened.
For example, by selecting the two group companies Thread and Fashion Retail, the new group company The
World-wide Textiles Inc. becomes the overall holding company, as shown.
Security Control
In an ideal company scenario, there will be more than one person working on Tally. In such a case, not every
person needs to be given the full access. The head of the department/ Administrator should be able to create
different users and assign their rights to them.

Tally Audit
Tally Audit provides the capability to the administrator/auditor to track changes in the accounts following his
previous review. Changes of two areas are very important – changes in Transactions or Vouchers and changes
in Ledger Masters. Only changes that affect the integrity of a transaction are considered. For e.g. a change in

Introduction
The security of data, financial or otherwise, has always been a matter of concern. Most business depend on the
confidentiality of information. Tally Vault is an enhanced security system, which allows for encryption of the
company data with the most secure method of encryption being used.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Tally Vault ensures that under no circumstances, the original information is available in any form to anyone other
than the administrator. The technique could be likened to "encryption-decryption-on-the-fly", and the decrypted
form of data is never stored in the system. Apart from this, it uses the "non-stored password" mechanism and
highly advanced mechanisms to validate a new user without any prior knowledge of the original password. The
combination of these facilities ensures that Tally Vault becomes one of the most secure means of information
storage.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Enabling Tally Vault Password for Existing Companies
Tally Vault password can be given in the Company Creation screen at the time of creating a company. For existing
companies, which do not have a Tally Vault password, the procedure is:
2. From Gateway of Tally , select F3 : Cmp Info > Change Tally Vault .

Backup
Tally has a flexible backup mechanism where in you can take a backup of the data from virtually any storage
medium into any other medium.
The more commonly used media are floppy drive, hard disk drive, zip drive, tape drive, etc - installed either
locally or on a network. In the backup screen, the source of the backup and the destination of where it has to be
stored have to be given and Tally will do as required.

process of backing up data begins when at least one company is selected for the same from the List of
Companies . To stop selecting companies, select the option End of List , which appears at the top of the
selection list.
4. The backup file is stored as TBK900.001 . If the backup is taken in a medium likely to extend more than
one – for example, floppy, then the extension digits (10001, 10002 and so on) will be stored accordingly.
N o t e : If TallyVault password is enabled for a company, Tally will allow you to select
only one company at a time from the list for a backup.
Backup Precautions
Data on a computer is vulnerable to all types of difficulties. Considering the same, it is important that we do not
overlook the importance of regular backing-up of data regardless of the stability of the database. With a little
planning and forethought, we can ensure that maintenance of the important data is continuous and hassle-free.
Depending on the volume of data entry, an appropriate backup mechanism will have to be devised. One method
of achieving it will be by maintaining a backup directory in the local hard disk or the server (external storage
media such as the floppy disk, zip diskette can also be used). We can have sub-directories for every day of the
week under the main backup directory and regularly take data backups in the following manner depending on the
day of the week.
Monday – C:\TallyBackup\Monday
N o t e : Tally backup facility is not limited to the Hard Disk drive alone. You can backup
data onto other storage devices also
The above procedure ensures that there exists a reliable data backup at any given time. In order to use that
reliable data backup or bring back the data from that existing data backup you have to use the Restore option.
Important: It is preferable NOT to restore a backup onto the original data directory primarily to ensure that No data is overwritten
unintentionally.
Restore
Restore literally means to bring back. Similar to backing up of data, Tally allows restoring of data from any
medium into any other storage medium. The Restore Companies on Disk screen is displayed as shown below:

companies available.
It is preferable NOT to restore a backup onto the original data directory primarily to ensure that No data is
overwritten unintentionally.
Tally's flexible period less accounting permits entry of data for any number of years. This in itself has tremendous
benefits. However, presence of old data in cases where they are voluminous causes greater overhead on the
system. Splitting financial years enables you to retain most benefits while overcoming this overhead.

the data existing. BY THETA-SOFTWARE
It is recommended that the Split from date
is set as the beginning of the latest financial year though Tally permits any date.
5. Splits occur in sets of two periods. Hence, start with the latest. For example to split three year’s data of a
company from 1-1-2003 to 31-12-2005 into three separate 'companies' each with a financial year select the
beginning of the latest financial year (this is what Tally prompts you to do).
6. On confirming the activity, two new companies will be created – one with data from 1-1-2003 to 31-12-
2004, i.e., two years, and the other for 1-1-2005 to 31-12-2005.
Typically, this is all you need to do. Your historical data, whether of 1 or more financial years, will be preserved as
one company, and your current financial year, as the other. There is normally no reason or benefit to split the
prior years again into separate years. However, should you wish to do so, repeat the above steps for the prior
period.
All the companies are full companies in their own right. Data can be entered, displayed and altered. Please display
or print the key financial reports (Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, Stock Summary etc.) from each of
the companies for the relevant periods and compare them for accuracy.
Once you are satisfied that you have a successful split, it is advisable to backup the original company onto
diskettes and permanently delete its data from your hard-disk. This will ensure that you do not accidentally use it
to enter fresh data.
To delete a company, press Alt+F3 at the Gateway of Tally, select to Alter it, and at the point where you can
modify the Company Information, press Alt+D.
You will also need to alter the names of the two freshly created companies to suit you.
Activate Company Features (F11: Features)
The different features of a company can be selected or modified by F11: Features button. This button is available
in almost all screens of Tally as you might wish to modify it as your requirements change. Unlike F12: Configure
, F11: Company Features is specific to the current company only. Therefore, each company may have different
features active. For example, a company in your group may need multi-currency whereas another company may
not. Configuration options, on the other hand, affect all companies maintained in the same Tally directory and
setting configuration for one company will affect other companies in that data directory.
Note: Certain features like multi-currency and multi-locations, once set to Y e s , cannot
be modified if the feature has been used. However, other features like Cost Centres
and Bill-wise details can be modified even if they are used. If you reset the option after
having used the feature in transactions, it is advisable to rewrite the company by using
CTRL + ALT + R .
Accounting Features
Inventory Features
There are various settings available under Accounting Features , Inventory Features and Statutory &
Taxation Features in Company Operations Alteration screen, which determine the information to be keyed in
during transaction entries. A discussion on each of the options follows.
Accounting Features
This feature enables you to set the various Accounting Features required for the transaction entries.
General
This option has a significant effect on the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account. If set to Yes , it brings the
stock/inventory balance figures from the inventory records and provides a drill down to the Stock registers from
the Balance Sheet.
If set to No , it ignores the inventory books figures and picks up manually entered closing stock balances from the
ledger account created. This provides the facility to maintain accounts separately and inventory separately.
Stock records often contain compensating errors caused by wrong allocation to items and the like. This feature
enables finalisation of financial books without waiting for reconciliation of stocks that may take time.
Income/Expense Stmt Instead of P & L
Enable this option if you need an Income & Expenditure Statement for Non-Trading accounts. Profit & Loss
statements are generally used for trading accounts.
Allow Multi-Currency
Set this option to Yes , if you want to create multiple currencies. The option Currencies is displayed in Gateway
of Tally > Accounts Info. menu only if you set this option to Yes .
Outstandings Management
The Bill-wise facility is turned on by setting this option to Yes . By activating the Billwise feature in F11: Features
, the ledger masters under Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors automatically displays an additional option called
Maintain balances bill-by-bil l. On setting this option to Yes , you get an additional option Default Credit
Period .
When you enter details of sales and purchases with Bill-wise turned on, Tally prompts you to identify the invoice
with an appropriate reference number. The reference can then be used to allocate payments to the correct invoice
to maintain an accurate account of outstanding.
If you want to maintain bill wise details for Non-Trading Accounts also, set this option to Yes . Bill wise
Details for Non-Trading Accounts is useful in those cases where one needs to track either an installment to
be paid or a loan amount to be received over a certain period of time.
Set this option to Yes to enable Tally to calculate interest automatically based on the interest rate and style of
calculation specified. Enabling this option allows interest calculation on outstanding balances for any ledger
account or on each invoice for the period it is outstanding completely or partly.
The advanced parameters are particularly useful where interest rates change from time to time. Set this
option to Yes to enable this.
A Cost Center can be defined as a unit of an organization to which transactions can be allocated. When only costs
or expenses are allocated to these units, they are referred to as Cost Centres . The Cost Centre feature is
activated by setting this option to Yes .

stock movement in these Locations. You can create any number of Stock Locations/Godowns. The
Godowns/Locations option is displayed in Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info. menu only if you set this option
to Yes. You will be able to know your stocks at each location as well as assign stock movement to one or more
locations during voucher entry.
Set this option to Yes , if you wish to create and maintain Stock Categories. This creates a new field Category in
the Stock Item Creation screen.
Set this option to Yes , to maintain batch information pertaining to Stock Items. A new field Maintain in Batches
is displayed in the Stock Item Creation screen.
N o t e : Batches should be used where they are small in number and remain constant. Do not
use the batch option for tracking of lots through manufacturing processes. If that is done,
you will soon have a large number of batches that are not deleted. You will not be able to
assign costs to particular lots, as may be the intention.
Set this option to Yes , if you want to set expiry dates for the batches. This displays an additional field Use
Expiry Dates in the Stock Item Creation screen.
This is useful for businesses that deal in goods that have expiry dates like medicines, food and other
perishables. During voucher entry, date of manufacture of the product by default takes the date of the
voucher. This date can be changed, but not to a date later than the voucher date. Expiry date cannot be a
date prior to the voucher date.
Set this option to Yes , if you want to specify quantities, that are different from that delivered/ received, when
invoicing.
For example, you have delivered goods but some of them are in disagreement. So, your customer wants to be
invoiced only for the undisputed quantity. He/She might consider the rest later and would then like to be invoiced.
On the other hand, the rest might be so bad that it is useless even for you to take it back. Hence, you can record
the fact while raising the invoice without altering the delivery note or passing a rejection entry.
Order Processing
Invoicing
Allow Invoicing
This option is active only if Allow invoicing is set to Yes . Set this option to Yes , if you want a separate column
for discount in invoices.
Purchase Management
Set this option to Yes , to obtain a break-up of purchase costs, without the need to separately debit ledger
accounts for expenses. Typically, on purchases, one is interested in total costs and the breakup is of interest while
doing analysis (except for expenses like VAT or Modvat, which can be claimed). In such cases, passing of
accounting entries for expenses will have no consequences other than lengthening your ledgers.
Example :
Purchases from ABC & Co: 10 Pcs of Widgets@Rs.20 = Rs.200. Expenses incurred= Tax-Rs.20, Packing charges –
Rs.15.40, Total purchase cost – Rs.235.
If you activate Track additional costs , you can pass the entry in any of the following methods:
From an accounting perspective, both entries are identical. The ledger accounts Purchase Tax and Packing charges
are not debited with the amounts. Hence these figures are reflected only as breakup or analysis figures of
Purchases account. The Actuals figure reveals the total cost incurred on the Purchase and will also affect the
stock value.
You may also allocate additional costs on Purchases through subsequent entries or vouchers.
The rules for including subsequent vouchers in purchase costs that Tally follows are:
Basic Cost + Additional costs allocated (if any) + All costs in subsequent vouchers that have zero quantity, up to
the first voucher that has a non-zero quantity.
Sales Management
Set this option to Yes to create Multiple Price Levels. Refer Enable and Create Price Lists for more details.
Set this option to Yes , if you want to use tracking numbers to maintain the relation between delivery notes and
invoices/bills. This is available for both purchases as well as sales. Hence, if your business is affected by this
situation either for goods received or goods sold, set this option to Yes . If you set it to No , you will not need the
facility of separate delivery notes recording, as your Purchase and Sales Vouchers would double up as delivery
notes.
Set this option to Yes , if you wish to record rejection of goods separately and not through a common Debit Note
or Credit Note.
If the Country Specific Configuration is set to International in the F12 Configure , then an additional field
Prepare and Follow British Style VAT Returns is displayed.
Set this option to Yes , to follow British Style VAT Returns. Unlike Excise Duty, this option simply controls the VAT
Return preparation. More ledger level set up may be required, which is discussed under UK VAT Analysis .

Introduction
Tally follows the modern way of managing accounts called 'Single Ledger' concept of accounting. This is in direct
contrast to Subsidiary Ledger Accounting. All financial entries are made using ledgers or account heads. Ledger
accounts are created to identify transactions.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
The single ledger concept avoids the need for sub-ledgers and corresponding control accounts in General Ledger.
Tally allows you to group ledger information to generate meaningful reports that are compliant with laws. Groups
in Tally classify and identify account heads according to their nature. This helps in presenting summarized
information.
Usually, grouping of accounts is done only when reports are needed. This may result in delay in preparing the
reports. Tally allows you set up chart of accounts.
You can group the ledger accounts while creating them. This will enable your reports and statements to reflect the
desired classification at any point. In Tally, you can also re-group the ledgers (with some minimal restrictions) if
re-classification is necessary. Re-grouping becomes necessary whenever there is a change in the nature of
information. However, re-grouping can be done only by users who have authorised rights.
At the highest level of grouping, accounts are classified into capital or revenue — specifically into assets, liabilities,
income and expenditure. Based on mercantile accounting principles, Tally provides a set of reserved groups and
allows you to modify their names or create sub-groups.
Sub-Groups
A Sub-Group behaves exactly like a group and is created under a group.
Concept of Sub-Groups
Groups have a hierarchical structure. The main group of accounts that determine the entire accounting and their
presentation are the asset, liability, income or the expenditure. These main groups ascertain whether a ledger
affects Profit & Loss Account as a revenue item or if it affects the Balance Sheet.

Debtor/Creditor classification
Accounts of parties with whom your company is trading should be opened under any of the following groups (or
sub-groups under them):
Sundry Debtors
Sundry Creditors
Branch/Divisions
Sales and Purchase account groups are meant for revenue accounts and are reflected in the Profit & Loss Account.
If you open party accounts under these groups, it becomes difficult to pass sales or purchase voucher
transactions.
For example, in a sales voucher transaction entry, you must debit an account, which can be sundry debtor,
branch/division or even a sundry creditor. Moreover, other facilities like bill-wise allocation and tracking will not be
available unless the accounts belong to one of these groups.
For example, parties from whom you buy more frequently then you sell them can be placed under Sundry
Creditors, as that is the natural place to look for their account. Tally does not restrict the accounts from having
obverse balances. Thus, a Sundry Debtor can have a credit balance depending on the state of his account.
Therefore, you need not open two accounts for the same party - one under Sundry Debtors and another under
Sundry Creditors. Tally restricts opening of two identical ledger accounts. In such cases, you may decide to
circumvent by marking one account as "A & Co - S/Dr" and another "A & Co - S/Cr". This will allow you to have
two accounts of the same party under two groups, but you will lose the advantage of analysing net position at one
place. It is always better to maintain a single account to obtain best benefits.
Expenditure items are entered under Liabilities group. For example, the expenditure item Rates & Taxes under the
group Duties and Taxes.
The group Duties and Taxes is specifically meant to handle taxation liabilities of your company. Rates & Taxes and
other statutory expenses should be placed under Indirect Expenses.
Simply adhering to the reserved groups may be sufficient for many organisations. For greater diversity, Tally
allows you to create your own groups, either as sub-groups or primary groups. Groups can be sub-classified to
practically an unlimited level, to give a virtual accounting tree. At the lowest level, of course, would be the ledger
account.
An example of sub-groups would help illustrate the power of this facility, the group Indirect Expenses can be sub-
classified under ledgers (given in italics) as shown below.
During voucher entry, only the ledger accounts are used and the group structure remains transparent, irrespective
of the use of sub-classification.
The same principle can be applied to Sundry Debtors, Sales Accounts, Purchase Accounts and so on.
You can classify Debtors and Creditors according to geographical areas as shown below.
You can classify creditors according to their tax status as shown below.
You can create unlimited levels of sub-groups (like branches) or ledgers only if they are two or more in number.

below.
1. Capital Account
This records the Capital and Reserves of the company. The ledgers that belong to Capital Accounts are Share
Capital, Partners' Capital A/c, Proprietor's Capital Account and so on.
This contains ledgers like Capital Reserve, General Reserve, Reserve for Depreciation and so on.
2. Current Assets
Current Assets record the assets that do not belong to either Bank Accounts or Cash-in-Hand sub-groups.
Bank Accounts
Current account, savings account, short term deposit accounts and so on.
Cash-in hand
Tally automatically creates Cash A/c in this group. You can open more than one cash account, if necessary.
Deposits (Asset)
Deposits contain Fixed Deposits, Security Deposits or any deposit made by the company (not received by the
company, which is a liability).
Stock-in-hand
This group contains accounts like Raw Materials, Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods. The balance control
depends on whether you have selected Integrated Account-cum-Inventory option while creating the company.
(refer to Company creation section for more details) Let's consider the options:
Integrated Accounts-cum-Inventory
This option has a significant effect on the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account. If set to Yes, it brings the
stock/inventory balance figures from the inventory records and provides a drill down to the Stock registers from
the Balance Sheet.
You are not allowed to directly change the closing balance of an account under this group. You are allowed to pass
transactions in Inventory records and the account balances are automatically reflected in the Balance Sheet as
Closing Stock.
Non-integrated Accounts-cum-Inventory
If Integrated Account-cum-Inventory option is set to No, it ignores the inventory books figures and picks up
manually entered closing stock balances from the ledger account created. This provides the facility to maintain
accounts separately and inventory separately.
Sundry Debtors
For customer accounts refer to common and possible errors in grouping of accounts section.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
3. Current Liabilities
Accounts like Outstanding Liabilities, Statutory Liabilities and other minor liabilities can be created directly under
this group. Sub-groups under Current Liabilities are Duties and Taxes, Provisions and Sundry Creditors
Provisions
Accounts like Provision for Taxation, Provision for Depreciation and so on are recorded under Provisions.
Sundry Creditors
For trade creditors, refer to common and possible errors in grouping of accounts section.
4. Investments
Group your investment accounts like Investment in Shares, Bonds, Govt. securities, long term Bank deposit
accounts and so on. This allows you to view the total investments made by the company.
5. Loans (Liability)
Note: An account under Bank OCC A/c group is printed as separate Cash Book in the
traditional Cash Book format and does not form part of the Ledger.
Secured Loans
Term loans or other long/medium term loans, which are obtained against security of some asset. Tally does not
verify the existence of the security. Typical accounts are Debentures, Term Loans, and so on.
Unsecured Loans
Loans obtained without any security. Example: Loans from Directors/partners or outside parties.
6. Suspense Account
In modern accounting, many large corporations use Suspense Ledger to track the money paid or recovered, the
nature of which is not yet known. The most common example is money paid for Traveling Advance whose details
will be known only upon submission of the TA bill. Some companies may prefer to open such accounts under
Suspense Account.
This group is typically used for legal disclosure requirements such as Schedule VI of the Indian Companies Act. It
should hold incorporation and pre-operative expenses. Companies would write off a permissible portion of the
account every year. A balance remains to an extent that cannot be written off in Profit & Loss Account. Tally does
not show loss, carried forward in the Profit & Loss Account, under this group. The Profit & Loss Account balance is
displayed separately in the Balance Sheet.
8. Branch/Divisions
This maintains ledger accounts of all your company's branches, divisions, affiliates, sister concerns, subsidiaries
and so on. Tally permits Sales and Purchase transactions to take place with accounts opened here. Remember,
these are their accounts in your books and not their books of accounts. Just treat them as any other party
account. If you wish to maintain the books of a branch/division on your computer, you must open a separate
company. (Tally allows maintenance of multiple company accounts).
9. Sales Account
You can classify your sales accounts based on Tax slabs or type of sales. This also becomes a simple mechanism
for preparation of Tax returns.
Examples:
Domestic Sales
Export Sales
Sales (5%)
Sales (exempt)
You can even open an account as Sales Returns under the group Domestic Sales to view your net sales after
UNREGISTERED VERSION
returns (or the returns mayOF CHM TO

specific Sales account).
N o t e : Do not open customer accounts under this group. For more details, refer to
common and possible errors in grouping of accounts section.
These are Non-trade income accounts that affect Gross Profit. All trade income accounts fall under Sales Accounts.
You may also use this group for accounts like Servicing, Contract Charges that follow sales of equipment.
For a professional services company, you may not use Sales Account group at all. Instead, open accounts like
Professional Fees under this group.
These are miscellaneous non-sale income accounts. Example: Rent Received and Interest Received.
These are Manufacturing or direct trading expenses. These accounts determine the Gross Profit of the company.
Profit & Loss Account is a reserved primary account in Tally. You can use this account to pass adjustment entries
through journal vouchers. For example, transfer of profit or loss account to Capital or Reserve account.
Creating a Group
Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounts Info. > Groups > Create (under Single Group)
Name of Group
Enter the name of the Group to be created. For example, Administrative Expenses.
Alias
Enter an alias name to allow access to the group using the Alias in addition to its name or leave it blank. For
example, for Administrative expenses, you can enter Office Expense or even an alphanumeric code, say E001,
as an alias
Under
Specify under which existing (Parent) group the sub-classification is required. If it is a new primary group, select
Primary (requirement of a new primary group is very rare, but the option exists). You can also create a new
Parent Group by using Alt+C.
Additional Information
If a group (e.g Printing) is created under Primary, you must select the appropriate option from the list whether it
is an asset, liability, income or expenses. If you select an income or expenses you should specify whether it will
affect the gross profits or not by suitably setting the option Does it affect Gross Profits? to Yes/No.
You can use this concept when you wish to segregate your profits into Operative Profit and Net Profit. This helps
you when you want to consider other revenue accounts in addition to Direct instead of Gross and Net Profit).
Normally, Tally calculates Gross Profit using Opening Stock, Purchase Accounts, Direct Expenses, Sales Accounts,
Direct Incomes and Closing Stock only. To make other accounts contribute to this, without classifying under these
reserved heads, set this option to Yes.

Position index is the primary key for sorting groups and ledgers for reports; the group name being the secondary
key. It determines the position of the group in relation to other groups in a report. It is the default sorting method
in most reports.
At the time of its creation, a group is automatically assigned the position of its parent (or 500 if it is a new primary
group) and hence there is no need to give the index field while creating a group.
All reports are sorted according to the position index in increasing order. This may not be in alphabetic order. The
positions have been ascribed for the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account, which is based roughly on the
liquidity concept and company law. These indices may be changed to effect a shift in the location of an account, as
illustrated in the following example. IF a same index number can be assigned to more than one group, they will
appear one after another in alphabetic order (sorted on the secondary key).
Create a Group My Own Group under Primary as an Asset. By default, index will be 500.
Using single alteration of the group My Own Group the index can be verified.
Create a ledger account My Own Ledger under this group with opening balance of 10,000. The group's position
in the Balance Sheet would be thus:
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Now, alter the Position Index (sort position) of the group "My Own Group" to 45. (You may do this quickly by
positioning the cursor on 'My Own Group' and pressing Ctrl+Enter).
The Balance Sheet gets rearranged and you can decide the position of an item in your reports.
Though position indices can be altered, it is not advisable to do this without being absolutely sure of its effect.
Please remember that the change affects all reports. If you do not want the changed index, you may revert to the
default settings through group alteration.

A Ledger is the actual account head to which you identify a transaction. In Tally, you pass all accounting vouchers
using Ledgers. However, all Ledgers have to be classified into Groups. Hence a thorough understanding of account
classification is important for working with Ledgers. The creation and usage of Groups in Tally has been explained

with Ledgers.
Ledgers can be created in single and multiple modes. In multiple mode you can create multiple ledgers at a time.
The creation of Ledger depends on the features you opt for in the F11: Features of your company and F12:
Configure. It is advisable to set F11: Features and configure the F12: Configure screen before creating any
Ledgers. You may configure or set your Ledgers to enable or disable advanced mode.
Tally automatically creates two Ledger accounts namely, Cash (Under Cash-in- Hand) and Profit and Loss
Account (direct Primary Account). You need to create all other accounts heads. There are no restrictions in
Ledger creation except that you cannot create another Profit & Loss A/c . Any number of Cash Accounts may be
created in any other name like Petty Cash.

Enter the Name of the account. You can provide the full name of the account. Tally fits it all in. Press Enter to
move to the next field. Tally does not allow entry of duplicate names. The uniqueness check is made here itself.
Note that punctuation and other non-relevant information are ignored by Tally in its recognition of a name. Thus,
CST, C.S.T. and C. S. T. are all considered as same.
Tally converts the first letter of all relevant words to upper case, which helps you; speed up data entry. You need
not bother about changing the case every time it is a different word.
Alias
Enter an alias name if required. You can access the Ledgers using the original name or the alias name.
Under
All accounts must be classified under their appropriate Groups. Select the Group under which the Ledger is
created from the List of Groups. To create a new Group from this field press [ATL + C]
A Group is not important by itself, but because it controls the usage of Ledger accounts. A wrong classification
would affect the treatment of the Ledger account in final statements and during voucher entry.
You can, alter a Ledger account to change its group classification at any time. Refer Common and possible errors
in Grouping and account classification for more details in Grouping.
Opening Balance
If yours is an existing company whose books you are entering onto Tally, Opening Balance would be applicable in
circumstances such as when the Ledger is an asset or a liability and if it has a balance in the account as on the
date of beginning of books in Tally.
Tally recognises normal accounting principles of debit balances for Assets and credit balances for Liabilities. It
accepts the reverse for obverse balances. Revenue accounts normally do not have balances. Tally, however,
permits you to give balances even for such accounts - You may be transferring your books on to Tally in the
middle of the year and may not have closed them in your earlier system. Hence, you may specify whether the
balance is Debit or Credit. Simply D or C also would suffice.

Currency of Ledger
Tally allows you to maintain Ledgers in any currency and the amount will reflect in the selected currency. But it is
strongly advisable that you maintain the currency of the Ledger as the Base currency.
Only foreign currency bank accounts are maintained in foreign currency and other ledgers are maintained in Base
Currency. Nevertheless you can enter transactions in any other currency.
To create/maintain ledgers in multiple currency, set Allow Multi Currencies to Yes in F11: Features.
You can always create a new currency from this field by pressing Alt+C
Set this option to Yes , if you wish to give a Bill-by-Bill break-up of the Ledger balance for Sundry Debtors and
Sundry Creditors group including the opening balance. You may allot any number of bills. The option here would
also determine the ability to track transactions according to Bill references. The Bill-by-Bill concept in transactions
would be discussed in detail in the Vouchers chapter.
If you set this option to Yes , while entering the opening balance in the Opening Balance field at the end of
Ledger Creation screen and pressing Enter , the Bill-wise Breakup screen of the Ledger created is displayed.
A brief explanation on each of the fields in the Bill-wise breakup screen follows:
The following information for all pending bills of the previous accounting period would be required.
Date
Since you are giving the break-up of the Opening Balance, the date of the bill would naturally be prior to the
accounting period. Tally defaults to the last date of your previous accounting period, e.g., 31 March 2006. Change
it, if necessary, to the actual date. To end your list of entries, leave the Date or Name blank.
Name
Enter a Name to which you can later refer when adjusting the bill. Typically, you can enter the Bill number or
Document number. The purpose of the break-up is to enable you to adjust it later when the relevant transaction is
squared off.
For the Ledgers under Sundry Debtors and Creditors, give the credit period or the date when the bill is due. Tally
automatically calculates the other.
N o t e : During transaction entry, there would be another concept-that of effective date. If you
opt for "using effective dates" instead of "bill dates" the due date would be calculated
accordingly.
Amount
For the amount of the bill due, you will give particulars of all the pending bills one by one. Tally fills in the
difference between your Opening Balance, and the sum of the Bills, and reflects it as On Account at the bottom of
the screen.
If all your bills cover the Opening Balance , the On Account becomes NIL. You may have Bills totaling beyond
the Opening Balance , in which case the On Account will accumulate adversely. In the screen given below, we
have shown two bills 50,000, 25,000. Now, if the balance brought forward is 1,00,000/- , the On Account
amount will reflect 25,000/-. If you obtain the bill particulars at a later date, you can always alter the ledger to put
in the details, which will nullify the On Account .
This is applicable only if your accounts are integrated with inventory. Accounts like sales and purchases would
normally affect inventory values in which case set Inventory values affected to Yes . For other accounts, set it
to No . Tally does not restrict you to particular accounts as you may have the need to affect inventory with
accounts like Customs Duty, and perhaps, direct expenses related to purchases such as Freight Inwards.
This field is displayed in the Ledger Creation screen only if you have enabled Cost-Centres in F11 > Accounting
Features . Set this field to Yes in Ledger creation screen to enable Cost centres. Tally will presume that you want
Cost Centers for Revenue Accounts and not for non-revenue accounts like Assets and Liabilities.
Activate Interest calculation
Set this option to Yes to enable Tally to calculate interest automatically based on the interest rate and style of
calculation specified.
The advanced parameters are particularly useful where interest rates change from time to time. Set this option to
Yes to enable this.

The Group Duties and Taxes is used for automatic tax calculation. . You need to specify the rate of tax e.g. 5,
10, 12.5 etc. as a percentage. Do not give the percent symbol. You may use an automatic Discount calculation
facility by specifying a negative percentage in this field. On entering a percentage, a new field Method of
Calculation is displayed.
Method of Calculation
2. Additional Duty
3. On Total Sales
4. Surcharge on Tax
This type of account is suitable in cases where there are differential rates of duty/tax on items. In India, excise
duty accounts would normally adopt this method. In the UK, VAT accounts would do likewise. When creating your
Inventory item masters, you might specify Rate of Duty for each item. In your account books, you would open a
ledger for the duty, possibly by the name VAT 17.5% or Excise Duty 12.5%. You will select this method to instruct
Tally to pick up the Rate of Duty specified in your Inventory item master during invoice entry. If one or more
items exist with the same rate of duty, then the amount is calculated using the total. Otherwise, it is calculated on
total sales. For example,
Additional Duty
When excise duty is not enabled for invoicing purposes in Company Features [F11] (as applicable for many
products in India), Additional Duty and Surcharge function alike. In case it is enabled, then Additional Duty is
added to the 'Duty Based on Items' in the invoice to reflect the 'Total Duty payable'. Its method of calculation is
explained under 'Surcharge'.
On Total Sales
As the type suggests, duty will be calculated on the total of individual values of the items. It does not consider the
Rate of Duty specified for each item in your inventory masters.
It does not calculate duty on the current sub-total unless you have specifically opted for it in the company
features. Hence, the two scenarios could be as follows:
When you have not opted for calculation on current sub-total:
Item A 10000/-
Item B 15000/-
Tax 2% will be calculated at 2% on total sales of 25000/- = 500/- tax amount following which you obtain a
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
current sub-total of 25500/-.
If you now add another line, Tax 4%, it will calculate 4% also on 25000/- (on total sales) giving another 1000/- as
tax.
Surcharge on Tax
Surcharge and Additional Duty are charged on the immediately preceding entry. A surcharge is treated as a
percentage of the duty levied. Tally expects the preceding line in the invoice to be the duty on which surcharge is
to be calculated.
Hence, in the above example if you have added a line Surcharge 10% it will appear as:
Item A 10000/-
Item B 15000/-
25000/-
Tax 2% 500/-
Surcharge 10% 50/- (10% of 500)
If your invoice is as below:
Item A 10000/-
Item B 15000/-
25000/-
Tax 2% 500/-
Surcharge 10% 50/- (10% of 500)
Addl.Surcharge8% 4/- (8% of 50)
During invoice creation, this figure is used to calculate tax amount based on the method of calculation as well as
specified in invoicing configuration.
( [F12] configure > Invoice Entry > Calculate tax on current sub-total?).
Though invoicing has been discussed separately in greater detail, we shall touch upon relevant aspects here.
Tax here refers to VAT or sales tax. During voucher entry in Invoicing mode, you may enter additional ledger
accounts after giving the list of items in the invoice. Typically, the ledgers would pertain to duties, taxes, delivery
charges, other charges and discounts. Sales Tax may be calculated on the total of item values, viz., Inventory
sub-total, or you may specify it to calculate on the immediately preceding sub-total. In the latter case, the
immediately preceding sub-total could include any entry that you may have passed, e.g. Delivery Charges. Tally
does not make any presumptions and would not verify its appropriateness or otherwise.
Normally, you would not answer Yes to this option. The facility of Surcharge being available, the need to calculate
on current sub-total is fulfilled by it. Hence, use it sparingly, maybe only when you have both Excise Duty and
Sales Tax (on Excise Duty) applicable on an item.
Display or Alter a Ledger Account

modification. Alter option is accessible only to authorised users.

Effective Date for Reconciliation (Bank Accounts only)
The Effective Date for Reconciliation is given for accounts falling under the Bank Accounts Group (or Bank

This is the date from which you can reconcile your bank account in your books with the bank statements.
Normally, it would be the books beginning date.
However, you can import data from a previous version of Tally or from any other system (where the reconciliation
process was not available or was different). In that case, you may not need to reconcile the bank account with

This is viewed when you press F10: Chg Sort when the ledger is in the alteration mode.
If this is done, it remains so till you deactivate it by pressing F10: Skip Sort. The topic has been discussed under
the chapter "Groups" under Advanced Usage. The default setting is 1000 for all ledgers.
Please note that the index is relative to other ledgers and groups within a parent group. Hence, the position of a
ledger may be changed within the Group, to which it belongs, by changing the number 1000.
Any change would not position the ledger outside the parent group. If a group comprises of many groups (sub-
groups) and ledgers, the position index would determine their position within the parent group.
For example: Prior to any change in their indices, the ledgers and the sole group 'Communication Expenses' under
the group 'Indirect Expenses' are displayed as below. (Ledgers are directly under the group Indirect Expenses and
not under Communication Expenses sub-group):
Gateway of Tally > Display> Account Books> Group Summary> Indirect Expenses
The position index of Communication Expenses (it is a group as indicated by its bold font) is 290 and all ledgers
1000. You would notice that because of this, Communication Expenses is at the top, and the others sorted
alphabetically as they have the same index of 1000.
We now change the index of General Maintenance to 280 and of Staff Welfare to 900. We now see General
Maintenance at the top, followed by Communication Expenses and Staff Welfare. Then the rest with 1000 would
be in alphabetic order.
You can change the index from the display screen itself by positioning the cursor on the particular account and
pressing Ctrl+Enter to bring up its master to alter.

Credit Limits can be specified for any account falling under the groups Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors.
Accounts under Sundry Creditors are permitted because there can be a two-way trade with a party even if it is

Credit Limit
Specify the amount of credit limit against the ledger account in this field. You can set the amount limits in foreign

Credit Period
Credit Periods are in days only and are calculated from the effective date. If a separate effective date field appears

voucher date is the only date field in the voucher, then it is also the effective date and the credit period is from

Effect of Setting Credit Limits
The effect of setting credit limits is that during voucher entry (also invoice entry), the credit terms are filled up by
the pre-set figures. If the voucher configuration (through F12: Configure) is set to disallow modifications of all
fields during voucher entry, the cursor skips these fields and modification is not permitted. However, the

Cost Centres
A Cost Centre is any unit of an organisation to which transactions (generally, revenue) can be allocated. When
only costs or expenses are allocated to these units, they are referred to as Cost Centres. When profits are also
allocated to these units, they become Profit Centres. You can now obtain a Profit and Loss account of each such
Profit Centre.
Cost Centre in Tally allows an additional dimension to a transaction where a Ledger account indicates the nature of
the transaction. It does not readily disclose, except in the narration field, which part of the organisation was
involved in the transaction.
By providing Cost Centres, a transaction can be allocated to it, which would then enable extraction of all
transactions for a Cost Centre. Tally gives you the Cost Centre break-up of each transaction as well as details of
transactions for each Cost Centre.
Products of a company.
You can classify Cost Centres just as how you classified Group/Ledger accounts. You can have Primary Cost
Centres and several levels of Cost Centres under each Primary Cost Centre.
Under Marketing, classify the company's sales executives as Cost Centres. This will help you track a sales
executive's performance, in terms of cost and revenue generated.
You will then have the following Cost Centre structure (shown here only for the Marketing Department):
Under Marketing:
Salesman A
Salesman B
Salesman C
Allocate expenditure incurred on sales by the salesmen, as well as the sales generated by them, directly to their
Cost Centres. The allocation is done online at the time of transaction entry. This prevents allocation problems at
the end of the period, when you find a large number of transactions not allocated.
By allocating expenses and sales transactions to the salesmen, you are setting up a valuable information system
that tracks the performance of your salesmen.
More:
To create a Cost Centre, set Maintain Cost Centres to Yes in F11: Features. It is advisable not to set More
than ONE Payroll/Cost Category to Yes, unless required.
By default, Tally activates the Cost Centre feature for Ledger accounts under Sales Accounts, Purchase Accounts,
Expense and Income groups.

to more than one set of Cost Centres. The
following example illustrates the use of Cost Categories.
The Primary Cost Centres such as Marketing, Finance and Manufacturing can now belong to a category -
Departments.
Similarly, you can create a new Cost Category 'Projects' under which Cost Centres such as Airport construction,
Road construction and Buildings may be created. The classification appears as in the following matrix.
Specify a Cost Category to allow allocation of only revenue items or items of both revenue and capital nature. In
this example, allow both for Departments and Projects Categories and only revenue for Executives.
Salesman A incurs conveyance expenses of Rs. 1000. If he has incurred it for marketing, allocate this amount to
the Cost Centre - Marketing and his own Cost Centre - Salesman A. (Allocate this while entering a payment
voucher debiting Conveyance and crediting Cash.) If the salesman now incurs expense for the project Buildings,
allocate to the Cost Centres - Salesman A and Buildings.
Allocate an expense to one or more Cost Centres. It is not essential to always allocate expenses to all Cost
Centres. If you did not create Cost Categories, you would have been able to allocate the expense to either the
Project Buildings cost centre or Salesman A, not to both.
You can obtain details of conveyance expenses incurred by Salesman A on Marketing as well as on the Buildings
project when you have Cost Categories.
You cannot, however, extract a single report giving details of marketing expenses incurred by Salesman A on the
Project Buildings. These are different Cost Categories and cannot be merged. If such reports are required, you
must create ledgers such as Conveyance - Marketing which will help you generate the desired report.
By allocating expenses to parallel Cost Centres under different categories, you are simply assigning the amounts
to them; the amount does not increase. In the above example, the conveyance of Rs. 1000 remains an expense of
Rs. 1000 only. Tally performs an automatic reconciliation on real-time basis, saving you the effort of reconciling
Ledgers and Cost Centres.
Note: Transactions are not allocated to Cost Categories but to Cost Centres only.
Creating a Single Cost Category
To create a Cost Category, set Maintain Cost Centres to Yes in F11: Features and then set More than ONE
Payroll/Cost Category to Yes.
By default, it is set to No. Tally creates a single Cost Category called Primary Cost Category and allocates all
Cost Centres created, prior to enabling this feature, to this category. You can create new cost categories, and alter
the existing Cost Centres to allocate them under required Cost Categories.

A voucher is the primary online document for recording transactions. Transaction recording and analysis are
greatly facilitated by having specific formats for different types of transactions. Tally provides 16 different
predefined voucher formats or what it calls predefined types of vouchers. These are used for recording various
transactions. A payment voucher is used for all types of payments, a receipt voucher for all types of money
receipts, a sales voucher for recording sales transactions, and so on.
These predefined vouchers fulfil your normal transaction needs. They pertain to both accounting and inventory.
Some of these vouchers can also be used differently according to the situation, e.g., sales vouchers can be used
as invoices, vouchers can be post-dated, etc. Such use can be decided at the time of voucher entry by selecting
the appropriate button.
Gateway of Tally > Display > List of Accounts > <Ctrl>+<V> [Voucher Types]
Tally acknowledges the special requirements of some users for more voucher types. These arise in cases like when
you need the same voucher but in different names or separate series of numbers.
Examples include Cash Payment Vouchers and Bank Payment vouchers where the relevant predefined voucher is
Payment Voucher. You may have two or more sets of Sales Vouchers for different kinds of sales transactions e.g.
Credit Sales, Cash Sales, etc.
You would need to alter a voucher type to change default settings for different information appearing in vouchers.
Using F12: Configure, you can further configure a voucher.

Abbreviation
A n abbreviation is required particularly for unformatted reports, which do not use compressing techniques. (Tally

automatically sets a default name to the Voucher. In this example, give ‘Purch’ as the abbreviation. Though there
is no restriction on the length of the abbreviation, it should preferably be five characters or less.

Method of Voucher Numbering
This is, perhaps, one reason for your opting for a new voucher type. There are three methods available:
None
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
This will disable numbering of such vouchers. If you select this method, no further information is required.
Manual
This method will allow you to number vouchers of this type yourself. It does not check for sequence of the
numbers and permits you to specify anything you wish in the voucher number field. However, you may choose to
prevent entry of duplicate numbers. If you do, enable the next field 'Prevent Duplicates'.
1. Prevention of Duplicates is possible if you enable the option at the time of creation. You may enable it later (by
alteration) only if there are no transactions of this voucher type.
2. If you face difficulty because transactions now exist, simply create another voucher type for preventing
duplicates of subsequent voucher numbers.
Automatic
This method is both flexible and exhaustive. Use it carefully to give you your desired numbering system. Select
this option to let Tally number the vouchers automatically for you.
If the Method of Voucher Numbering is set to Automatic, then an additional field to set the advanced configuration
for the Voucher type appears. Setting this field to Yes , Voucher Type Creation (Secondary) screen appears. Refer
to Use Advance Configuration for more details.
Select Yes if you want to enter effective dates for vouchers. You would opt for this if you have instances where a
transaction under consideration for overdue/ageing analysis is recorded currently but will take effect from another
date. If effective date is entered, the overdue/ageing will be considered from the effective date and not from
voucher date.
Setting this option to Yes , will set your Voucher to Optional Voucher by default. Refer to Optional Vouchers for
further details.
Select Yes to give a common narration for the entire voucher. Tally vouchers can have multiple entries. Hence,
you may wish to give a common narration for all the entries of the voucher or a separate narration for each entry
or both. Select Yes even when you want both. Select No if you do not want a common narration.
Select Yes if you want to give a separate narration for each entry of a voucher. This would be applicable for a
multiple entry voucher where you want separate details for each entry. Select No if you do not want separate
narration for each entry.

Printing
If you want to print every voucher after entering it, select Yes , else select No . This is suitable for an online
environment where you use the Tally printed voucher as the formal voucher. Remember, however, that the
transaction is already recorded and posted and should you wish to make corrections to the printed voucher, you
must alter the Tally voucher online and print it out again.

Starting number
Give the number for the first voucher. Usually it is 1. You can set it to any number you want. Tally will auto-
increment from this number for subsequent vouchers. However, the numbering of vouchers also depends on other
variables supplied by you, which follow hereafter.
You may leave it blank to let Tally automatically adjust the width according to the number. However, for more
aesthetically aligned look in reports, you may keep a fixed width, e.g., 3.
Prefill with ZERO?
When the width is specified, the digits before the number is blank if 'No' and zeroes if 'Yes'.
E.g. 001 1
010 10
PEU/001/06-07
PEU/1/06-07
PEU/ 1/06-07
Restart Numbering
Voucher Numbering may be restarted with the starting number (as specified) at intervals selected by you - Daily,
Monthly, Never, Weekly or Yearly. You must give the date whence numbering should restart under the field
Applicable from. The date must be the first day of the month. You may specify more than one Restart dates. For
example, should you wish to renumber your vouchers from 01 June 06 on yearly basis, you must specify it in the
next field. This would retain the numbering system in the prior period. If, however, you want to change the
numbers from the beginning from monthly to yearly basis, simply alter the first field itself.
Prefix Details
If you want the voucher numbers to be prefixed with some fixed information, give the information here. Examples
of prefix details are:
Note: The numeric portion begins immediately after the prefix information. Therefore,
be sure to give a space or a slash '/' or some such character should you want a
separation, e.g. we have specified April/. The slash would cause the voucher number to
appear as April/001, otherwise it would be April001. This facilitates simple usage for
fixed number series appearing as 200100001 where 2001 is the prefix, and 00001 is the
starting number with a width of 5, and with leading zeros.
You can choose different prefix information for different periods or let one continue. The prefix continues from the
date you mention under 'Applicable from' till the next date that you may give under 'Applicable from'. Hence, we
have chosen to change the prefix from April to May when the month changes. Please note, however, that if we
omit to change the prefix for the subsequent months (i.e. do not give 'Applicable from' date for the month), your
voucher numbers for even June, July etc would contain the prefix 'May/'.
Suffix Details
You can also give fixed suffix information for the voucher number. The same rules and effects as for Prefix Details
apply.
Voucher Classes
Voucher Classes are available for all major voucher types and the Cost Centres can be allocated if classes are
used. Automation of cost centre allocation has met the need of 'percentage allocation' based on predefined
figures.

The item Name of Class is below Effective Dates for Vouchers and above the Numbering Table.
Give a name to the class by simply typing it, e.g. Barclays Bank Payment. You may create more than one class.
Hence, you might want to have one more for Cash Payment.
Groups other than Bank or Cash groups should not be selected. This is used to exclude Cash or Bank Groups that
are not to be used in this class to pay out the money. In our example, we want to exclude Cash and Credit Cards.
Groups other than Bank or Cash groups should not be selected. You might exclude a top level group but include
its sub-group.
Ledger Name
Selecting the ledger account that will be used to pay out the money will eliminate the need to select it during
entry. In this case, it is BarcSlays Bank. In a receipt voucher, you will select the ledger account into which monies
will be received. You may even select 'Not Applicable'. The purpose of selecting 'Not Applicable' will be to permit
Single Entry mode and at the same time retaining the option of selecting the account during entry.
Note: Exclude or Include Groups are irrelevant when you specify a Ledger Name for
which the class is created. They are useful when you select 'Not Applicable' .
In case you do not require split payments, you could create only one class with nothing in include/exclude Groups
and without any ledger Name. A single class does not require class selection and is a rapid way of using Single

If it is desired to add the other purchase expenses like freight and import duty to the cost of the item, you would
have activated the option in F11:Company Features 'Track Additional Costs of Purchases'. In voucher mode, the
additional cost details have to be filled in after the allocation of each purchase item.
In Invoice mode, the treatment of additional costs on stock items is automated by altering the parent group
master details of the expenses.
In many situations, more than one item is purchased where the expense that is incurred for them is charged as a
lump-sum. However, to give an effective cost including the expense to each purchased item, you would earlier
give additional costs of purchase for each item. That method though very flexible and practical could be tedious.
That process is now automated and allocation of the expense to stock item can be done on a predefined basis.
1. Alter the Parent Group of the expense ledger accounts, e.g. Direct Expenses. You will find a new option -
Method to Allocate when used in Purchase Invoice. If you want to appropriate the ledger accounts under
1.
this group to stock items by either Quantity or value, you must select the option. Select Appropriate by Qty
for our example.
Now if freight belongs to the group Direct Expenses, the amount will be apportioned by quantity, i.e., in the ratio
of 1:5. If however, the parent group does not have an allocation method or is set to No Appropriation or Not
Applicable, the amount of freight will not be apportioned to the items and will simply remain in the financial books
as expense.
N o t e : In Invoice mode, Purchases can be allocated to Cost Centres only when Cost
Centre classes are used, i.e., you have to auto-allocate purchases to cost centres if
you are using the Invoice mode of entry. Using the voucher mode of entry for purchases
allows manual allocation of purchases to cost centres.

Voucher classes for Credit Notes are similar to sales invoices except for one important inclusion. You can set the
class for interest entries to enable adjustment of interest payable. If the Interest option is selected, the other
sales invoice-like options will not be available. A separate class may to be created for entries like Sales Returns.

2. Wholesale
3. Retail
Departments -

An Explanation of Types of Calculation
As Additional Excise
In the Indian sub-continent, a manufacturing tax, or Excise is levied. For some products, a supplementary levy on
the 'Basic Excise Duty' is charged, or 'Additional Excise Duty'. This is a surcharge calculation. For example, an
Additional Excise Duty of 10% on the Basic Duty. While the calculation method is identical to 'As Surcharge' (see
below), the result is to provide a 'Total Excise Payable' calculation accurately during Invoice printing.
As a Flat Rate
When you wish to specify a standard mark-up/down on an invoice. For example, 100.00 for every invoice,
independent of the qty/value of the invoice.
As Surcharge
When you wish to calculate the value based on the immediately preceding figure. For example, a Sales Tax of
10% is applicable on an invoice, which would be calculated on the value of goods sold. On this, a 'Surcharge' of
5% - i.e. 5% of the Sales Tax value is applicable.
Typically, the last line in an invoice. You would need to create an account which would carry the 'rounding
difference'. Now, as the other values of the invoice are calculated, this account would automatically get adjusted
to keep the Total Invoice Value to the desired rounding limits. Normally, you would also mark this invoice as
'Remove if Zero ? Yes', so that the account head is not retained in the invoice print-outs if no rounding was
applicable.
This allows you to specify a value while creating the invoice itself. Normally, you would use this when the basis of
calculation is neither Value nor Qty dependent, and therefore, needs to be entered every time you create an
invoice.
Based on Quantity
In case of calculations based on the 'Total Qty' supplied. For example, you may have Freight or Forwarding
charges as 2.00/Kg, and if the total qty supplied in the invoice is 200.000 Kg, then the amount should become
400.00. The 'Value Basis' will also need to be provided as '2.00/Kg' or '0.50/Pc' as the case may be.
In certain environments, taxes are applicable on the Total Goods Value as well as supplementary charges such as
'Excise Duty', 'Packing Charges' etc. Normally, when the tax calculation method is specified as 'On Total Sales'
(see below), the calculations are based on the Total Goods Value only. When you wish the supplementary charges
to be included, then you would set 'On Current Sub Total' as the type of calculation.
On Item Rate
Typically used for both VAT as well as Excise Duty style calculations. Here, you would have specified the Rate of
Tax applicable for each Stock Item, and you would want only those items to be used for calculation purposes
which equals this Rate of Tax. The advantage is to be able to mix multiple Tax Rate products in the same Invoice,
and yet get the correct ones picked up for each Tax bracket.
On Total Sales
Many Organisations have transactions in more than one currency. Such transactions have to be recorded either in
the base (home) currency or in the foreign currency. If the transactions are recorded in home currency, the rate
at which the foreign currency is exchanged should be recorded as well. At times you need to record the
transaction in the foreign currency itself when you maintain the balance of the concerned account in foreign
currency. Tally uses the term base currency for the currency in which your account books are kept. Foreign
Exchange is used interchangeably with foreign currency. The base currency is specified while creating the
company.
Tally makes it easy to manage multiple currencies, automatic calculations of exchange rates, automatic
conversion of any currency used to record a transaction to the currency of the account, etc.
The Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account of the company is maintained in the base currency. Conversion of
foreign currency account balances is done as per rules set by you.

symbol $ for Australian Dollars and PQR uses the symbol $ for U.S. Dollars. The formal name distinguishes
two different currencies with the same symbol when you compare accounts of two companies.
The company that is loaded first retains the original symbol for display purposes. The other company's
currency symbol will be prefixed with the first letter/first few letters (to make it unique) of the formal name.
Here, if ABC is loaded first then the symbol $ is for Australian Dollars and in PQR (loaded next) the symbol $
is prefixed with the letter U (first letter of its formal name).
Note: You cannot assign a duplicate Formal Name for a company in Tally.

Stock Groups
Stock Groups in Inventory are similar to Groups in Accounting Masters. They are helpful in the classification of
Stock Items. Classification is based on some common behaviour. Stock Groups enable easy identification and
reporting of Stock Items in statements.
You can group Stock Items under different Stock Groups to reflect their classification based on some common
functionality. Grouping enables you to locate Stock Items easily and report their details in statements.
You can group the items of a particular brand to extract stock of all items of that brand.
Consider that the Stock Items in your inventory are Sony 3.5" disks, Maxell 3.5" disks, Sony tapes, Maxell tapes,
and so on. Create Stock Groups, Sony and Maxell, and classify Sony products under the group Sony and Maxell
products under Maxell. You now have ready details of all Sony and Maxell products, duly classified.

You can define the default ledger (usually the sales account), during alteration or creation of a Stock Item that will
automatically be credited when you invoice the item.
Under
Select the group from the List of Groups . If you do not want to categorize it under any particular group that you
created, choose Primary .
Units
Give the unit of measurement of the item here. The item would be traded using this unit of measurement.
Alternate Units
This is another unit, apart from the main unit, which you can use for the Stock Item. This is particularly useful
when you need to handle different units at different times. For example, you buy Data Cables in pieces but sell in
packets of 5 pieces each. For alternate units, you are asked to give a conversion factor (e.g. 5) so that a link is
maintained between the two. What you give here is simply a conversion factor that comes up as default during
voucher entry. You may specify a different factor during voucher entry.
Maintain in Batches?
Set this option to Yes if you want to maintain the batch information of Stock Items. The batch does not destroy
itself after it is disposed; it remains on records and is quite like a Ledger in behavior.
For example, Stock Item – Cloth, Batches – red, white, and blue. You can extract all sales of blue cloth at any
given point of time.
This has been dealt with in Bill of Materials section under Voucher Entry. It is however pertinent to mention here
that BoM should be used only for items that have sub-assemblies or are manufactured.
Set this to Yes , if you want to specify standard purchase and sales rates for the item. Standard rates enable the
valuation of inventory at standard purchase or standard sales price. Moreover, these prices come up by default
during voucher entry (you may choose to override them if required). The standards are effective from the
specified dates and they continue to be used at these rates until the next date, where the standard rate changes.
In the screen that appears above set the Standard Cost/Standard Selling Price against the Rate column and the
date in the Applicable From column respectively.
Suppose you value your inventory based on standard cost or the market valuation based on standard price. For
valuation on any date between the specified date, only the rate specified against Applicable From column is
considered. This rate will be brought up by default during voucher entry on any day during this period.
Tax Information
Rate of Duty
Give the rate of tax applicable for the item. The rate specified here would be picked up when invoicing, if you
selected the method of calculation as Tax Based on Item Rate for your relevant accounting ledger account.
Typically, this accounting ledger account would be 'VAT Account' under the Group Duties & Taxes . In such
cases, the VAT or duty in invoice entry will be automatically calculated.
Behaviour
Costing Method
Select the method of valuation for the inventory. Tally provides you with different valuation methods for different
items, from which you can select the appropriate one. You may, of course, choose to use the market valuation
method to value the inventory. It would be interesting to know the value of your stock, both on cost as well as
sale basis.
At Zero Cost
Tally considers at Zero Cost Valuation for this particular item for all sales.
Tally assumes the sale of the newest goods, first taking into account the current financial year.
This works like LIFO Annual except that the last purchase starts from the previous financial year.
Tally calculates the average price based on the purchase of item in that particular month.
There are four market valuation methods, At Zero Price, Avg. Price, Last Sale Price, Std. Price. Select whichever is
applicable from the Valuation Methods list.
In Tally, you can record the physical stock as counted, using a physical stock voucher. There is, usually, a
difference between physically counted stock and the one appearing in the records. If you wish to ignore the
difference and continue with the stock as per books, set this option to Yes. It is, however, advisable not to ignore
the difference and let Tally consider stocks as per physical count for subsequent transactions.
If you set this to Yes , Tally ignores the item in the stock reports, in case it has a negative balance.
Set this to Yes , if you want to avoid the need of passing entries for manufacture of goods and have them
automatically done when goods are sold. This way, you also avoid negative balances in the stock records. It is
particularly useful for smaller manufacturing companies that make things but do not want the problem of
receipting stocks.
This is quite the reverse of the previous option. If you set this to Yes, issues are automatically raised for all goods
purchased. This is particularly useful in case of consumables. The book stock of this item would always be nil.
Set this to Yes , if you do not want to take the rejected goods back into stock. Otherwise, rejected goods, though
recorded separately through a Rejection Note, would be taken back into stock.

Reorder Level signifies the quantity of a Stock Item in hand, after reaching which you must place orders for your
supplies. The importance of Reorder Level arises from the desire to have sufficient stocks to service customer
orders and, at the same time, not to unnecessarily accumulate stock.
Therefore, the points to be considered while deciding the reorder levels are as follows.
In simple mode, Tally accepts the quantities that you specify. In advanced mode, it considers the past
consumption patterns to suggest reorder levels. You can however, choose to define your own reorder levels. You
may also specify the minimum quantity of the item to be ordered, either in simple or advanced mode.
The purpose of specifying reorder levels is to obtain a report that indicates the quantity of a Stock Item that you
must order.

The choices for periods are: Days, Weeks, Months and Years. Note that it is not the average consumption for the

such as warehouse, shelf, and so on. In a business, it always becomes necessary to distinguish between the stock
held onsite and in the warehouse. You can do this by creating two separate godowns. Tally had a default Godown

Units of Measure
Stock Items are purchased or sold on the basis of quantity. The quantity is measured by Units. Hence, it is
necessary to create Units of Measure. You need to create Units of Measure for all the Stock Items. You can have
simple units such as numbers, meters, kilograms, and pieces or compound units like box, where, say, one box
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
equals ten pieces.

Compound Units
Creating a Unit of Measure
Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info > Units of Measure > Create
Type
Simple units are considered as specified by you; Tally just checks for duplication. Tally defaults to Simple, and if
you want to change to Compound, use [Backspace] to go back and select Compound from the Types of Units
list.
Symbol
Define the symbol of the unit, e.g., Nos. This symbol is used in all displays and printouts.
Formal Name
Specify the formal name of the symbol, e.g. Numbers. This explains the symbol, which is also used during the
consolidation of data of different companies, where the symbols might be the same but are assigned to different
units. The formal name will be used to match them.
If you want to use the unit in fractions, say for a kilogram you may have to use grams as well, specify the number
of decimal places. For kilograms, you would give three decimal places to accommodate up to 999 grams. You do
not normally want a decimal place for units like numbers; you can specify 0 in such cases.
N o t e : You can specify 0 to 4 decimal places. The Unit of Measure cannot be translated
or transliterated but will appear in the Language created.
Compound Units
A Compound Unit is a relation between two Simple Units. Hence, before you create a Compound Unit, ensure that
you have already created two Simple Units. For example, there are two Simple Units Nos (Numbers) and Doz
(Dozen). Now define the relation between Nos and Doz, as one dozen equals twelve numbers.

Price List
Price Lists are useful for orders and invoices. An up-to-date price list helps in decision-making even at the lower
levels of the organisation and quickens the sales process. Tally assists in creating quantity based pricing with
complex discount structure. Price Lists are available only for inventory items and hence the feature is available
UNREGISTERED VERSION

for the company. PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
You can have one or more price lists. You require more than one price list, when you have different price
structures/levels for different purposes, usually, different groups of customers requiring different discounts or
dealing in different products.
In Tally, you can assign specific price lists called Price Levels to customers, so that only the relevant prices are
used during entry of orders and invoices.
Before you begin to create Price Lists, you should decide whether you want different price levels. You might want
different price levels for various purposes, such as different types of customers like wholesale customers, retail
customers, export customers and so on. Each customer type could have a different discount structure.
Creating Price Levels
Ensure that you have set the company for Accounts with Inventory.
Set the following fields to Yes in F11: Features > F2: Inventory screen.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
1. Allow Invoicing (If you do not set this field to Yes, the options for Price Lists will not be available.)

Features). Set the other options as required and accept Yes to save.
Follow the same procedure to alter the name of a price level. You can simply overwrite the names you specified
previously and save the changes.
Assigning Ledger Accounts to Price Levels
Creating Price Lists in Tally provides an option in party (debtor and creditor) ledger accounts, with the help of
which you can assign/tag a specific Price Level to the account. You can assign only one Price Level to an account.
You can choose the Price Level that you want to assign to the Ledger by selecting the Price Level from the Price
Levels list in the Pricing Level Applicable field. Select Not Applicable if you do not want to assign any Price
Levels to the Ledger.
If you want to assign Price Levels to ledgers created earlier, alter the ledger account, tab down to Pricing Level
Applicable field and select the applicable price level from the list.
Tab down to Pricing Level Applicable and select Export. Set the other options required. Accept Yes to save.
The Pricing Level can be changed to reflect the current circumstances. For this, simply alter the ledger account

example, ABC Company). If you do not want Tally to print the name, you can leave it blank. Many banks give
cheques with your company name printed.
Name of Banks
You will have to fill in the dimensions of the cheque. Tally accepts user defined cheque dimensions. Take the
bank’s cheque book and measure the dimensions of a cheque leaf carefully in millimeters and fill in the above
form. You may need to correct it after trying out a couple of cheques so that the positioning is accurate. The
placing of the cheque in the printer also determines the printing. To avoid mistakes trial could be made on
photocopies of a cheque before using an actual cheque leaf.

Director
If your cheque has two signatories, both can be specified. Both could be the same salutation or different. For
example, one could be Director, the other could be Secretary.
Give details of whatever you are using currently. Many banks will pre-print both the company name and the
salutation in their cheques, in which case you can leave them blank.

Accounts. Accordingly the journal entry has to be made.
Sales Entry (F8)
Sales vouchers are used when the company sells some goods to customers.
For example, the company sells some software on credit. In this case, the company has to account for Sales and
Sales Tax separately, if tax has been collected on the transaction.
When a sales transaction is made, a document detailing the transaction (item name, tax, etc) has to be given to
the buyer or debtor as proof of purchase by him. This document is called "Invoice" or "Bill" or "Cash Memo". Tally
provides the option of creating Invoices.
Enabling Invoicing
Invoicing and sales invoicing are almost the same as sales voucher entry. The advantage of using the invoice
format for sales entry is that it allows automatic calculations of taxes and duties (ledger accounts classified under
the group 'Duties & Taxes').
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
To enable automatic calculations of taxes and duties:
1. Set Calculate Tax on Current Sub-total to Yes in F12: Configure on the sales invoice screen
Any number of stock items or account ledgers can be selected one after another to enable faster data entry. To
activate this:

screen.
Types of Invoice
Invoicing is generally used for sale of stock where the details of the items sold are listed. Selecting the Item
Invoice allows you to select the stock items that need to be invoiced. Trading and manufacturing organisations
commonly use this format.

This field appears only if it is activated. Enter the date of expiry or a period from the date of manufacture. If you
have set Allow Use of Expired Batches to Yes for an item, you cannot issue them after the expiry date.
Additional Information
Manufacturers and traders, who deal in perishable products, need to maintain batch-wise details of stock
items. The manufacturing date and expiry date options are entered in Tally to maintain batch-wise details.
To ensure that the expired items do not appear in your Stock Journals and Sales Invoices, set Honor Expiry
Dates usage for Batches to Yes in F12: Configure of the Sales Invoice screen.
This keeps track of the batches. If you have two batches of the same product in stock, and one batch has crossed
the date of expiry, the sales invoice will not display the balance amount of the expired stock, thus honouring the
expiry dates which you have set for your stock items.
Refer Activating batch-wise details, Setting manufacturing date and Expiry dates for more details.

Reversing Journal Register
All vouchers are maintained in a Reversing Journal Register. These are not posted to any books of accounts and
cannot be included in regular reports. They can only be seen through a scenario.
While entering vouchers, you can mark them as post dated. Tally will not update the vouchers in ledgers until the
specified date is approached. This is useful to enter transactions that take place on a regular basis. For example, if
you pay for something by installments, you can set up the payments in advance, and Tally will only enter them in

Voucher Classes
Voucher Class is a method of automating accounting allocations during Invoice entry. It is a table for predefining
the entries to make invoice entry a simple task. This is particularly useful in sales invoicing where the nominal
ledger account, to be credited for each item of sale is defined once. During voucher entry, the accounting credits

are done automatically. PDF CONVERTER
Additional accounting entriesPRO BY Freight
like Tax, THETA-SOFTWARE
and other charges can also
be predefined to be brought up during actual invoicing.
This will have restriction on a data entry operator to alter or modify the vouchers. The total control rests with
senior management to set the class parameters. It also reduces chances of errors during voucher entry. You can
still continue to use Tally as before without classes if you do not require it.
UNREGISTERED VERSION
Classes can also OF
be used to CHM TO
automate the PDF CONVERTER
rounding off the values. PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
The rounding-off method can be preset when
defining a class for a single line or for the entire voucher or invoice.
Another additional feature is the ability to define default sales ledger account to be affected for each Stock Item.
This capability is available for companies maintaining accounts with inventory.
1. Go to Gateway of Tally
Now, when you alter or create a Stock Item, you can define the nominal ledger account (usually the sales
account), which should automatically be credited when you invoice this item.
Example:
You might have Sales Ledgers broken up as Sale of Finished Goods and Sale of Intermediates. Let us assume that
your finished goods are Computers and intermediate goods are CD ROM drives. Against the Stock Item
Computers, specify Sale of Finished Goods as the default Sales Ledger account to be affected. Against CD ROM
drive specify Sale of Intermediates as the default Sales Ledger account. These will be the default sales ledger
accounts that will be affected only when invoicing. They can be overridden by the account that you set in the
Class table.
The dual facility of ledger allocation with Stock Item and ledger allocation defined in a Class provides the flexibility
to permit allocation of different Stock Items to different sales accounts as set up in the Class table.
You can either alter the existing Sales Voucher Type or create a new Voucher Type based on Sales.
1. Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounts Info > Voucher Types > Alter
This displays a sub screen where you can define the Default Accounting Allocations for Sales Invoice and the
Default Accounting Allocations for Purchase Invoice. You can specify the Ledger Name, the Percentage (%) of
the amount to go into the ledger and the Rounding Method and the Rounding Limit if any.
The Class Table is split horizontally for accounting allocations and additional accounting entries.

UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Ledger Name
Select the ledger to be credited for each Stock Item sold in the invoice. More than one ledger may be affected for
each item. For example, for Tax-inclusive items, the ledgers to be credited will be Sales and Tax in a definite
proportion. This is where percentage helps.
Percentage %
This is useful in tax-inclusive price cases. You can allocate say 82.5% for the sales ledger account and the balance
can be allocated for Tax account. Normally, for tax-exclusive prices, you will give 100% for the Sales account. The
percentage (%) symbol has to be mentioned.
While creating or altering classes for the Voucher Types Credit Note, Delivery Note, Sales and Sales order in the
Voucher Type Class screen, for the Column Percentage % under Default Accounting Allocations for each
Item in Invoice, the number of decimal places allowed for the numbers input in this column has been increased
from two to three irrespective of the number of decimal places defined for the company.
Rounding Method
The Rounding Method may be used only where the sales account is NOT 100%. The amounts that are calculated
may be required to be rounded off either under Upward Rounding or Downward Rounding or Normal Rounding.
Normal Rounding is rounding to the number of decimal places specified for the currency based on the less than 5
and greater than 5 rules. You can set your own rounding off rule. For example, round off to the next whole
number. In such cases, you can round off Upwards.
Rounding Limit
When any of the rounding method is selected from the list, you can round off (Upwards/Downwards/Normal). For
example: set it to 1 to obtain the amount to the next whole number. To round off upwards to the nearest 50P, set
it to 0.50.
Select Yes or No. Item default refers to the Default Ledger account that you had set for a Stock Item. For
example, Computers – Sale of Finished Goods. If in the Class Table, you mention Sales –Local, and set No to this
question, then Sales –Local will be the account affected and not Sale of Finished Goods. Setting it to Yes will affect
Sale of Finished Goods. The advantage of this is that you can use different classes to affect different sales
accounts.
This part is relevant for Tax and other charges like freight and insurance.
Type of Calculation - Select the suitable method of calculation from the drop-down menu. The Value Basis that
you will provide in the next column will calculate using the type of calculation specified. For more details refer
Type of Calculation.
Value Basis - Enter the amount, which is to be used for the Type of Calculation. For percentage, you can use
the symbol %. In the example, 17.5% is specified for Tax on Sales on Item Rate, to use the rate given in the
Stock Item.
Remove if Zero? - Enter Yes for Tally to ignore the account and not to make any entry in it if its value is zero. If
Yes, ensure that Allow 0 valued entries in vouchers in F11: Features is set to No. On Setting No Tally will
record the invoice in the ledger account with nil amounts. Under normal circumstances, you will probably wish to
set this value to Yes. However, in cases such as 'Zero Rated VAT', you may wish to retain the Ledger Account
line, even though the calculation yields a nil amount.
Additional Information
Effect on Cost Centres - Cost Centres will remain un-allocated when Classes are used to allocate account
entries. Cost centres can also be predefined under Cost Centre Classes. Refer to Cost Centre Classes for further
information.

As Additional Excise
In the Indian sub-continent, a manufacturing tax or Excise is levied. For some products, a supplementary levy on
the Basic Excise Duty is charged or Additional Excise Duty. This is a surcharge calculation.
For example, an Additional Excise Duty of 10% on the Basic Duty. While the calculation method is identical to As
Surcharge, the result is to provide a Total Excise Payable calculation accurately during Invoice printing.
As a Flat Rate
This is helpful when you wish to specify a standard mark-up/down on an invoice - say 100 for every invoice,
independent of the quantity/value of the invoice.
As Surcharge
This helps you to calculate the value based on the immediately preceding figure. For example, a Sales Tax of 10%
is applicable on an invoice, which would be calculated on the value of goods sold. On this, a 'Surcharge' of 5% -
i.e. 5% of the Sales Tax value is applicable.
Based on Quantity
Use this for calculations that are based on the 'Total Qty' supplied.
For example, you may have Freight or Forwarding charges as 2.00 per Kg, and if the total qty supplied in the
invoice is 200.000 Kg, then the amount should become 400.00. The Value Basis also needs to be provided as
'2.00/Kg' or '0.50/Pc' as the case may be.
On Item Rate
This is used for both VAT as well as Excise Duty style calculations. You can specify the Rate of Tax applicable for
each Stock Item. The advantage is that it enables you to combine multiple Tax Rate products in the same Invoice
and yet get the correct ones picked up for each Tax bracket.
On Total Sales
The most common basis of Tax Calculation is on the total value of goods/services. This method uses the sum of
Stock Items used in the invoice for calculations.
Inventory Vouchers perform the same function in the inventory system just as accounting vouchers do in the
accounting system. Inventory Vouchers are also means of entering transactions. Inventory vouchers record
the receipt and issue of goods/stock, the transfer of stock between locations and physical stock adjustments.
If you have not integrated accounts with inventory, inventory vouchers will not have any impact on the Balance
Sheet stock figures. They will maintain the stock balances separately.
Configuration on Tally
Set the option Integrate Accounts and Inventory to Yes in F11: Features.
You can trace an entire transaction from the beginning i.e., goods transfer stage to the financial accounting
irrespective of integration status.
For example, the purchase of stock can be tracked from the purchase voucher through the receipt note, through
invoice from the supplier and also through eventual payment.

Set the option Use Tracking Numbers to Yes in F11: Company Features to activate Goods In Receipt Note

and Goods are delivered along with Sales Vouchers/Invoices. Activating Tracking Numbers denote that you
may receive goods that are not accompanied by a Supplier's invoice, i.e. the invoice will arrive separately and
that you may not deliver the goods along with the invoice but will invoice it later.
N o t e : In a voucher you are allowed to select Not Applicable when the Tracking Number
sub-screen appears. This would update inventory immediately without passing a

You can alter these vouchers to suit company requirements as well as create new Inventory Vouchers. For
example, if you wish to distinguish between delivery notes for stock delivered from different locations you can
create vouchers to do this.

components reduced from stock, and also invoiced in a single transaction entry.

Order Processing
Order processing is the placing of orders with suppliers for purchase to be made from them or receive orders from
customers for the purpose of selling. In Tally, Order Processing is linked to Inventories. This allows tracking of the
order position for a Stock Item. Using this you can track arrival of goods ordered and also whether the ordered
Stock Item are delivered on time etc.
You can create Purchase and Sales Orders in Tally. Purchase Orders (PO) can be created, printed and sent to
suppliers. Goods received are linked with the POs and Invoices. Outstanding Purchase Orders should be
monitored. Stock Summary displays order position of any item. The Purchase Order Book lists out all the Purchase
Orders placed.
Likewise, Sales Orders received are recorded in Sales Order Entry screen. These details will be available during
Delivery Note and Invoicing. The order position in the Stock Summary can be viewed. The Sales Order Book lists

When you make a sales or purchase voucher with Bill-wise turned on, Tally prompts you to identify the invoice
with an appropriate reference number. The reference can then be used to allocate payments to the correct invoice
to maintain an accurate account of outstanding. Hence, Bill-wise details sub-screen comes up for party accounts
during receipt/payment voucher entry or purchase/sale voucher entry or debit note/credit note entry.
2. Set Maintain Bill-wise details to Yes while creating the respective Ledger Masters. Setting this option to
Yes displays an additional option Default Credit Period. Credit Period is the number of days allowed to
the Sundry Debtor to pay back or assigned to the Sundry Creditor to remind us of our payables. Specifying
the period here is automatically reflected in the transaction. However it can be altered during Voucher
Entry.
Note: Bill-wise details sub-screen does not appear for pure inventory vouchers. It is
relevant only for accounting purposes.
Let us take an example of a Purchase Voucher where we credit the supplier XYZ Supplier with Rs. 2000. After the
amount field, the Bill-wise sub-screen pops up. The sub-screen appears as shown below.
Type of Ref
Bill reference can be of four types:
1.
2.
1. Advance
2. New Ref
3. Against Ref
4. On account
You must select one or more of these to adjust the amount. The amount can be broken up and given different
Reference Numbers and different Due Dates.
For example, the Rs.2000 can be split into two parts say Rs.500 and Rs.1500. Give Reference Numbers 5 and 6
respectively and specify Due Date as 31st May and 15th June 2005. Thus you have the option of adjusting the
amounts with different reference numbers and different Due Dates.
Advance
This is relevant when the money is received or paid in advance. You can adjust this advance amount while making
the sale or purchase entry.
New Reference
You select this for new transactions. For example, for a new bill raised on your customer or raised on you by your
supplier. If you mark the bill as a new reference, it is added to the list of outstanding. In the field, you can give
the voucher number, the reference number, or any alphanumeric set of characters that would identify the
reference and help set it off later using against reference. You are not allowed to give the same name for two new
references. In other words, new references must be unique.
Against Reference
Select this when adjusting against a previous reference, i.e., adjusting against a bill marked new reference. Mark
a bill as new reference and adjust its payment by marking the payment against reference. When selecting against
reference, a list of pending references (bills) for the party comes up from which you select. You may adjust the
whole bill or part of it. The rest of the bill remains unadjusted. You can use Against Reference even to adjust
advance with an invoice. You can do this when entering a purchase or sales voucher. If there are no pending bills,
the option will not be available.
On account
On Account is selected when you are unable to mark a payment or a receipt against specific pending references.
You need to do this in cases of lump sum payments where a number of bills are pending but you are not
instructed against which bill the money should be adjusted. However, the user can alter the payment/receipt
voucher and select the relevant Agst references
Name
In this field you can give the voucher number, the reference number, or any alphanumeric set of characters that
would identify the reference and help set it off later using against reference. You are not allowed to give the same
name for two new references. In other words, new references must be unique.
This is applicable for new reference. Give the credit period for the bill or the date when it is due for payment. Give
either one of them and Tally will calculate the other.
Amount
This is the amount for adjustment. The amount given in the voucher automatically appears here. You can break
up the amount and adjust it in several installments giving different references.
Dr/Cr
It is usually Dr for sales New References and Cr for Purchase New references. It is usually the same as the
voucher entry.

Cost centre allocations will be relevant if you have opted for Cost Centres in F11: Features.
By allocating ledgers to Cost Centres at the time of voucher entry, you do away with the need to reconcile them.
They are reconciled from that very moment. Hence, you save time and effort when you need to use the
information for analysis. Cost Centre analysis is a powerful tool that enables you to know the performance of the
Cost Centres.

2. Create three Cost Centres named Marketing, Manufacturing and Finance under the Cost Category
Departments. Create three Cost Centres Salesman A, Salesman B and Salesman C under the Cost Category
Executives. Create three Cost Centres Airports, Roads and Buildings under the Cost Category Projects.
The structure for creating Cost Categories and Cost Centres are shown below:
Now, Salesman A incurs conveyance expenses. If he has incurred it for marketing, allocate this amount to the cost
centres Marketing and his own cost centre Salesman A. (You would do it while entering a payment voucher
debiting Conveyance and crediting Cash). If the salesman now incurs expense for the project Buildings, you would
allocate to the Cost Centres Salesman A and Buildings. You may allocate an expense to one or more Cost Centres
and it is not essential to always allocate to all Cost Centres. An expense can remain unallocated to other Cost
Centres.
In case Cost Categories are not enabled, you will be able to allocate the expense to either Buildings Cost Centre
under Projects or Salesman A under Executives and not to both. In such a case, you would not obtain the third
dimension.
You may not have Cost Categories activated if you do not need to. Without Cost Categories, you will allocate the
ledger amount to only one set of Cost Centres, and not to parallel sets. Hence, you would allocate the conveyance
expense to Salesman A only and not to both Salesman A and Project Buildings. You can allocate the expense
partly to Salesman A and partly to Project Buildings that adds up to the total amount. This information will not
enable you to know how much Salesman A spent for the Project Buildings.
Note: You do not allocate transactions to cost categories you allocate them to cost
centres only. The concept is like group/ledger account classification.
Cost Centre allocations have to be done in pop-up sub-screens in the main voucher entry screen. The sub-screen
pops up after the amount field pertaining to the ledger for which cost centres have been activated. Hence, the
following is the sub-screen for the ledger Conveyance amount in a payment voucher:

Inventory items need to be considered in financial vouchers where you use ledger heads that have the option Are
Inventory Values affected? set to Yes. Similarly you will have the accounts of the type Sales and Purchases

the concerned ledger head and amount asking you to enter inventory item details.
The inventory details that you give in an accounting voucher (like Sales and Purchase Voucher) affects stocks by
immediately updating them only if Tracking Numbers are not activated in F11: Features. Otherwise, the
inventory allocation tracks against Goods In or Goods Out notes through tracking numbers.
The information that you need to give in the inventory allocation sub-screen depends upon the features enabled
for the company.

Tracking Number
The tracking number pop-up list appears after you have entered the name of the item.
1. New number – Enter a number, which is not in the list. You will use this number to reconcile, when making
goods inward entry.
2. Not applicable – If you do not want a tracking number. This may be resorted to in cases where you want
to update stocks immediately with this entry and no goods inward entry will be needed. Not Applicable
option is important and the cases where you would use it are:
When you raise a sales voucher/invoice that accompanies the goods and you do not want to pass Goods Out
entry. Not Applicable will update stocks without the Goods Out entry.
When you send out samples for approval, where you do not want to raise an invoice. Likewise when you receive
samples but no invoice will be forthcoming.
Default Voucher Number and Reference Number
The voucher number and the reference number of the current voucher are also listed and available for selection.
Select the one that is easy to track later. By default the reference no. and the Delivery note number are
highlighted in the receipt note and delivery note for tracking.
If you have a pending tracking number from a previous voucher, it will be listed here together with details like
location, quantity, rate and amount. Select a pending tracking number to adjust that with the current voucher
entry. This helps in the following situations.
1. When you pass a purchase voucher for an invoice that is towards a Goods Receipt Note that you had
previously passed. (You would have given a new tracking number then).
Location
If there is more than one location, you must specify the location to which the item relates. Hence, a sub-screen
appears after the tracking number, to enable you to specify the location quantity, rate and amount for the item.
You can give multiple locations.

give only the base currency, clear the Forex field and Rate of Exchange field and mention the Value in base
currency. The exchange rate will then be ineffective.
6. In inventory item allocation, consider a purchase of 50 rolls of paper. You can give the rate of the item in base

same data and provides you with the management control reports in addition to all books and statements.
The display screens of Tally are dynamic and interactive. They are not spooled print files but are specially
designed for the screen. Whatever you see on the screen can be printed as well depending upon your printer’s
capabilities.
Gateway of Tally displays only the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account directly as these statements are
considered the most important. All the other Tally reports are classified into two broad categories, namely.
Accounting reports and Inventory reports conforming to the two major areas of operations. Each area is further
grouped into books and statements.
The Cash and Funds Flow display too has not been grouped under Statements of Accounts.
Trial Balance provides you a report on the account balances sorted by groups, for all the accounts of the selected
company. In other words, the Trial balance displays a collection of main groups and their closing balances.
The Stock Summary is a statement of stock-in-hand on a particular date and gets updated every transaction so as
to provide the current stock position.
The Ratio Analysis Statement is a single sheet report indicating the company’s performance based on values and
key indicators, over a selected period. This report gives a manager an idea of the company's financial condition
and where it is going in the short-term.
The Day Book contains all vouchers for the day, including inventory vouchers. Its purpose is to show you a day's
transactions, though you can display a report for any period using Change period option.
The List of Accounts gives the tree structure of all your masters, namely, Groups, Ledgers, Stock items, Cost
Centers, Currencies, etc.

Nett Profit
This is derived from the Profit & Loss Account and is the profit after direct and indirect expenses.
This is an activity or efficiency ratio that shows the number of times the working capital has been rolled over
during a particular period. It depicts how effectively the firm is using its working capital.
Inventory Turnover
(Sales Accounts/Closing Stock)
This is an activity or efficiency ratio that shows the number of times the stock has been rolled over during the
period of the report. It depicts how effectively the firm is using its inventories.
Principal Ratios
You can compare Principal Ratios of your company over a period with industry averages as well as with ratios
pertaining to other periods to assess current performance.
Known as the liquidity or solvency ratio, this is the most frequently used for assessing the company’s capability of
meeting its short-term obligations. More specifically, it elucidates a firm's ability to cover its current assets with
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
current liabilities.
Quick Ratio
Known as Acid-Test Ratio it concentrates on the liquid part of the current assets, leaving out the closing stock. It
used to measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations. Stocks and inventories are the least liquid of all
current assets and if current assets comprise a high proportion of inventories, a firm may be considered less
solvent.
Debt-Equity Ratio
This is a gearing ratio that shows the extent to which long-term debt is helpful in financing the firm and shows the
proportion of borrowed funds to owners' equity. The lower the ratio, the greater the amount of funds invested by
the owners. If the ratio is high it indicates that the borrowed funds are more than the own funds of the firm, which
makes the firm less credit-worthy.
Gross Profit %
This represents the trading profit exclusive of indirect expenses and tax deductions, expressed as a percentage of
total sales. It measures the efficiency of a firm's operations and indicates how products are priced.
Nett Profit %
This is the profit inclusive of all expenses (direct and indirect) except tax deductions, expressed as a percentage of
total sales. It is a more specific measure of the efficiency of a firm's operations.
Both Gross Profit % and Nett Profit % put together provide an insight into a firm's operations and the role played
by direct and indirect expenses.
Operating Cost %
This is the total cost inclusive of direct and indirect expenses except for tax deductions, expressed as a percentage
of sales. A high ratio shows that even a slight rise in costs would be risky and might necessitate increase in price.
Receivable. Turnover in Days
It is an efficiency ratio that measures the quality of a firm's receivables and determines how successfully the firm
collects its debts. Receivable Turnover days is a figure that gives us the average number of days for which the
receivables are outstanding. It must be compared with the average credit policy of the firm.
Return on Investment %
Nett Profit is the profit after all expenses but before deduction of taxes. This is a profitability ratio that an investor
is most interested in. The investor needs to know how much is earned on each dollar invested. If the investor
finds other avenues that give better returns, he will move his money out of the firm.
This is another profitability ratio that ignores sunk costs in Fixed Assets and assesses how profitably a firm uses
its net current assets.

Cash and Funds Flow
Cash management is essential for any business. Many companies, as they go into liquidation, continue to make
profits because of insolvency. Businesses shut down because of lack of cash despite being profitable. Cash and
Fund Flow Statements aid in cash management and are an important component of the management accounts.

Cash Flow Statement is a chronological account of the movement of cash in and out of the business and includes

Reconciling the company's bank accounts with the banker's statement is a regular task of accounting. In Tally,
Reconciliation of Bank Accounts facilitates the following:
For instance, if you issue a cheque on 8th April and your bank clears it on 19th April, you would set the Bank
Date for the voucher as 19th April. This means that when you need to 'check back' later, whether the entry made
by you is correct, you will only need to verify the bank statement of the 19th.
This is of crucial importance in Auditing . The Bank Reconciliation is one of the pre-requisites of auditing and
verification of the correctness of accounts at the year end. However, it is not a 'real-time' task, meaning auditors
do not do it on the first day of the next year.
For e.g., the reconciliation made on 31st March, should be 'viewable' even in August, by when almost all the
cheques would have subsequently been marked Reconciled . Tally provides you with a facility of achieving this
also.
Bank accounts may have a different Starting Date for reconciliation purposes. When you create a bank account,
you are prompted to give an Effective Date for Reconciliation . Normally, this would be the Books Beginning
from date itself. However, you could have imported data from a previous version of Tally or from any other
system (where the reconciliation process was not available or was different). In that case, you may not want to
reconcile the bank account with your bank statements from the very beginning. Give the date from which you
want the reconciliation facility to be active. Once you do this, previous entries would not appear for reconciliation,
but would be taken as a reconciled Opening Balance.
A quick experiment with Reconciliation will show you what it all means. Here is how you go about it:
(You can choose a bank book from any of the following: Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, Display > Account Books >
Cash/Bank Books).
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
2. Bring the cursor to the first month (typically April), and press Enter . This brings up the vouchers for the
month of April. Since this is a bank account, you can see an additional button F5: Reconcile on the button
bar to the right. Press F5 .
3. The display goes to the Reconciliation mode, which can be edited. The primary component of the current
screen is the column for Bankers Date .
The Amounts not reflected in Bank are the debit and credit sums of all those vouchers, whose Bank Date is
either BLANK , or LATER than 30-Apr (i.e. these vouchers have not yet been reflected in the bank statement).
The Balance as per Bank is the net effect of the Book Balance offset by the amounts not reflected in the Bank –
which must equal the balance in the bank statement
N o t e : Some discrepancies may persist due to entries made in the bank statement,
which you have not yet entered in your books. You would reconcile these manually, and
print your reconciliation.
As you mark the individual vouchers by setting the Bank Date , you will notice that the Reconciliation at the
bottom of the screen keeps updating the changes. Once this process is complete, press Ctrl + A or Enter as
many times as necessary to skip over the unmarked vouchers and accept the screen.
The next time you opt for reconciliation, the screen displays only those vouchers that remain unreconciled. You
can also display vouchers that are already marked as reconciled, in case you need to edit the marking, by using
F12: Configure
Set Show Reconciled Vouchers also to Yes to see the reconciled vouchers.
N o t e : It is not possible to reconcile opening balance and can be done only with

Display Inventory Reports & Statements
Inventory in Tally operates in the same way as accounting with regard to displaying, modifying and printing
reports. Tally generates inventory reports based on the vouchers entered to date. You can use the customised

software has a print format compatible with dot matrix printers. This makes printing reports from Tally as quick
as its real-time report generation.
By default, Epson printer drivers are defined. Install Epson Printer drivers in Windows for any Dot Matrix printer
and use this format to print reports quickly.
N o t e: Any Dot Matrix printer may be used, but ONLY Epson printer drivers (LQ and FX series)
should be used for Dot Matrix Format printing in Tally.

Collaborative Tally
Collaborative Technology in Tally extends the ability of a company to manage information across different
software applications, offices, business partners and managers-on-the-move. The integration of other technologies
in Tally gives the user the benefit of exchanging data with other systems.

XML (data interchange)
In Tally all reports can be exported to ASCII by selecting ASCII (Comma delimited) format from the export
Format screen. This feature enables the user to export any report generated by Tally into plain text format with
values separated by commas. This format is commonly used for email and several other programs.
Excel (Spreadsheet)
In Tally all reports can be exported to Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by selecting Excel (Spreadsheet) option from
the export Format screen. This feature enables the user to export any report generated by Tally into Excel.
Consequently, the user can generate graphical representations of the data for better visual presentation.
Reports can be exported from Tally to Excel with or without all the formatting and background colour as it appears
in Tally. These options can be defined on the Report Generation screen.
N o t e : If Excel (Spreadsheet) Formatting is set to N o, the report cannot be exported

Tips: Export to Excel works faster if formatting is not included for export.
HTML (web-publishing)
In Tally all reports can be exported to HTML format by selecting HTML (web-publishing) from the export Format
screen. Reports in Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) format retain their formatting and fonts. They can be
read using an HTML-enabled mail program, or using browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Resolution is based on the pixels used to format the report. A higher resolution gives a better quality of output.
The Resolution option is available only in HTML format in Tally.
In Tally all reports can be exported to XML format by selecting XML (data interchange) from the export Format
screen. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an extension of HTML, but the data can be imported by other XML-
aware systems. Using XML, Tally allows the user to exchange information even with systems that do not run Tally.
An XML file from Tally has an XML envelope and is formatted with XML tags, to enable import into other systems.
The destination system requires re-formatting of XML Style Sheets (XSLT), based on the inherent style used in
Tally before importing the data. When two systems are running different versions of Tally, XML data can be
directly imported using the import menu option, without any re-formatting.
Export Master Data
Master Data from Tally can be exported to standard formats like ASCII, Excel, HTML and XML using the export
feature. The exported data can be used by other programs.

Synchronization
Synchronization is the replication of data between two or more locations that use Tally. Data can be sent over the
Internet, or in a private network system. Tally offers control over the frequency of replication. Data can be
replicated after each transaction or updated at specific intervals.
Synchronization takes place in a Client-Server environment and can be initiated only by the client. Data from the
client is transferred to the server and from the server to the client.
Replicating data is a single-click activity in Tally once Synchronization is set up between a server and its clients.

On canceling the voucher, the change is updated accordingly at both the ends.
Direct Synchronization
Direct Sync is synchronization between a server and a client. Direct Synchronization can be over a LAN, WAN, the
Internet or between two instances of Tally running on the same machine. It is usually done using a separate
server The Tally Link Server is not used for Direct Synchronization.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
To enable this feature contact any of the nearest Tally Offices or send an email to support@tallysolutions.com
The server version of Tally must be installed on the server computer and client version on the client computer,
before proceeding.
Direct Synchronization can be between two different entities/organizations or between the head-office and
branches of an organization.
Assume that ABC Company maintains your accounts. You can Transfer data from your company to ABC Company
using Direct Sync, provided ABC Company has a server version of Tally installed and can connect over a network.
Other clients of ABC Company can also connect and transfer their Tally data. Here, ABC Company is the server
and other entities that are synchronizing their data, are clients.
Direct Synchronization can also be implemented between the Head Office and Branches of an Organization. Thus,
when synchronizing between the Head office and Branches, the Head office must have a server version of Tally
installed and connect over a network to the Branches. The Branches must have client versions of Tally installed.
Enable Direct Synchronization
If you have installed a client copy of Tally and have enabled Direct Sync, then you will see Direct Client
displayed. If you have installed a server copy of Tally then both Direct Client and Direct Server are displayed.
Open the Tally.ini file in notepad from the Tally installed folder.

The buyers (Corporate and Non-Corporate) make payments (such as Salary, Rent, Interest on securities,
Dividends, Insurance Commission, Professional Fees, Commission on Brokerage, Commission on Lottery Tickets,

VAT is a system of indirect taxation, which has been introduced in lieu of sales tax. It is the tax paid by the
producers, manufacturers, retailers or any other dealer who add value to the goods and that is ultimately passed
on to the consumer. VAT has been introduced in India to ensure a fair and uniform system of taxation. It is an
efficient, transparent, revenue-neutral, globally acceptable and easy to administer taxation system. It benefits the
common man (consumer), businessman and the Government.
VAT enhances competitiveness by removing the cascading effect of taxes on goods and makes the levy of tax
simple and self-regulatory, ensuring flexibility to generate large revenues.
The cascading effect is brought about by the existing structure of taxation where inputs are taxed before a
commodity is produced and the output is taxed after it is produced. This causes an unfair double-taxation.
However, in VAT, a set-off is given for input tax (tax paid on purchases). This results in the overall tax burden
being rationalized and a fall in prices of goods.
VAT makes the tax structure simple, hassle-free and export-oriented. The integration of VAT with Tally will help
you in the smooth functioning of your business and eliminate the complications that might otherwise arise in VAT.
Concept of VAT
The essence of VAT is in providing set-off for input tax and this is applied through the concept of input
credit/rebate. This input credit in relation to any period means setting off the amount of input tax by a registered
dealer against the amount of his output tax. Value Added Tax (VAT) is based on the value addition to the goods,

from the tax collected on sales

VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
If VAT-registered business receives more output tax than the taxes paid as input, they will need to pay the
difference to the Commissioner of Taxes (State).
2. If the input tax paid is more than the output tax collected,
You can carry forward the Input credit and adjust it against the output tax in the subsequent months.
You can have the Input Credit refunded to you by the Government at the end of the current or
following year.
You can receive refunds for Input Credit on exports within a period of three months.
General terminologies used in VAT
Term Description
The amount of Input tax that is permitted to be set off against Output tax.
Input
Credit
Dealers with annual gross turnover not exceeding a certain threshold (threshold -
decided by the respective State Governments) can opt for a composition scheme
Composite whereby they will pay tax as a small percentage of their gross turnover. However,
Dealers retailers opting for this composition scheme will not be entitled to Input Credit.
The State Governments fix the periods and the procedures for the payment of the
lump sum.
Justification of VAT
VAT was adopted because the Sales Tax system is complex and induces non-compliance. It has been found
to be a hindrance in the economic growth of Industry, State and the Country. This causes a huge loss of revenue
to the government.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
VAT also helps in eliminating the dreaded cascading effect of Tax.
For instance, in the existing structure, inputs are taxed before a commodity is produced and the output is taxed
after it is produced. This causes an unfair double taxation with cascading effects. However, in VAT, as a set-off is
given for input tax as well as tax paid on previous purchases, overall tax burden will be rationalized and prices in
general will fall. VAT thus makes the tax system simple and transparent.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Advantages of VAT over Sales Tax
As VAT is a multi-point tax with set-off for tax paid on purchases, it prevents repeated taxation of the same
product.
Simple and Transparent: In the Sales tax system the amount of tax levied on the goods at all stages is not
known. However, in VAT, the amount of tax would be known at each and every stage of goods sale or
purchase.
VAT has the flexibility to generate large and buoyant revenues, as it levies tax on value additions.
Fair and Equitable: VAT introduces uniform tax rates across the state so that unfair advantage cannot be
taken while levying the tax.
Procedure of simplification: Procedures related to filing of returns, payment of tax, furnishing declaration
and assessment are simplified under the VAT system so as to minimize any interface between the tax payer
and the tax collector.
Ability to provide same revenue to the Government with lower rates of tax.
According to the White Paper, there are 550 categories of goods under the VAT system. They are classified into
the following four groups, depending on the VAT rate:
UNREGISTERED
VAT @ 4%
VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
The largest number of goods (270) comprising of basic necessity items such as drugs and medicines, agricultural
and industrial inputs, capital goods and declared goods are under 4% VAT rate.
VAT @ 1%
VAT@12.5%
The remaining commodities are under the general VAT rate of 12.5%.
N o t e : The few goods that are outside VAT as a matter of policy would include liquor,
lottery tickets, petroleum products, as the prices of these items are not fully market-
determined. These items will continue to be taxed under the sales tax act of the
respective states.
Computation of VAT and Profit
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
The above diagram depicts computation of (10 %) VAT at each stage of business. Hence, it is not the
manufacturers and retailers but only the consumer who has paid 10% VAT to the government. The profits for
manufacturers and retailers thus remain unaffected.

VAT Classification
The VAT Classification is a list of VAT rates, which describes the nature of the Business Activity and the type of
transaction. These are in-built in the system and will be updated if and when any statutory changes take place.
Input VAT @ 4%
Input VAT @ 1%
Output VAT @ 1%
Output VAT @ 4%
Purchases - Exempt
Depending on the type of the business, type of transaction, and the statutory requirements of your State, you will
need to select the appropriate classifications from the list during Ledger creations, voucher entries, etc.
The Sales and Purchase transactions are segregated based upon the classification selected during voucher entry
and shown in the VAT computation. In the VAT Computation you can view the classification-wise VAT and Nett
Values.
Ledger Masters
The VAT Classification will be displayed as a drop down list in the Ledger Masters. Tally gives the flexibility to the
user, to either have the classification selected in the Ledger Master tagged to all transactions, Or, select different
classifications each time during voucher entries. This is explained in detail in the Vouchers and Transactions
section.

Creating a Purchase Voucher (As Invoice) for VAT
Invoice can be classified into As Item Invoice and As Accounts Invoice . The VAT functionality though, is the
same for both.
Given below are examples of transactions in Item Invoice with implementation of VAT.
As Item Invoice
The selection and display of the VAT classifications in the vouchers differ according to the settings in the F12:
Configuration screen.
If you wish to use more than one ledger during a voucher transaction, you have to set this to No . This way, you
need to select a ledger for every item during voucher entry. When you set this to No , you can see the VAT/Tax
Class at the header region of the screen if the Allow Selection of VAT/Tax Class during entry field is set to
Yes .
Once you select Yes , you have the option to select the VAT classifications in the field VAT/Tax Class which is in
header region of the Voucher screen. If it is set to No, the VAT/Tax Class will not be displayed in the voucher
screen and the classifications will be taken from the Ledgers.
Example 1: Purchase@4%
The following is the entry for the purchase of item1 when VAT classification is Purchase @ 4%. This classification
is selected from a drop down list at the header region of the screen as shown below.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
N o t e : In the VAT/Tax Class field, there is an option called Not Applicable . You can
select this option if you need different classifications for each item during voucher
entry.
You will need to select the Duties and Taxes ledger after you are done with the entry of all items.
It will now calculate the VAT amount and add it to the Amount to give you the total.
When you wish to use the same Ledger for all items in a transaction, you can set this to Yes . Thus, you need not
select a Ledger each time you enter an item during the voucher transaction.
The following example to demonstrate the functioning of Assessable Value is shown by setting this field to Yes .
Assessable Value : It is the value on which VAT is to be calculated. The value is arrived at after making proper
deductions towards Trade discounts if any, and adjustments towards Excise/ED Cess payable. It is up to the user
to calculate this and enter it under the Assessable Value column. This manual entry gives flexibility to the user to
make the calculations as per the local statutory requirements.
As this example does not include discount or Excise/ED Cess taxes, the Assessable Value will be Rs. 5000, which
is retrieved from the Amount column.
VAT is now calculated on this amount automatically on the selection of the tax ledger (Rs.224), as shown below.
The entries are to be passed similarly for Sales Voucher and Credit/Debit notes.
Example 2: Purchase-Exempt
This example is to demonstrate the working of Tally in the VAT exempted transactions and also to show the type
and patterns of reports generated for such transactions.
We are passing the following entry for the purchase of the VAT exempted item.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
As it is exempt from VAT, this particular transaction does not affect the VAT amount in any way. Similarly for
Inter-state Sales/Purchases .
N o t e : In the Voucher mode there is no option for selection of the VAT classification at
the header region. Therefore, the VAT classification selected in the Ledgers will apply
always.
Creating a Sales Vouchers (As Invoice) for VAT
Functionality of Sales Voucher is similar to that explained in the Purchase Voucher. However, in order to
understand the calculation of VAT, let us take the following example:
Printing Configuration
The Printing Configuration screen after the addition of new features will appear as follows:
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Tax Invoice
You will see the following new sections pertaining to VAT in the Invoice:
Title of Document
This field prints the title entered in the Voucher Type Master .
The e-mail address of your Company (as specified in the Company Master) will also be printed in the Sales
Invoice, just below the address.
VAT %
This column can be enabled by setting Print VAT % to Yes in the Printing Configuration screen. The rate of
VAT from the VAT classification selected during voucher entry is printed in this column.
VAT Analysis
This field prints the VAT amount on the total Net Value. That is, Rate of VAT, Assessable Value and VAT Amount is
printed at the bottom right of the screen.
Prints the buyer's TIN or Sales Tax number, as the case may be.
The field Print Date & Time in the Printing Configuration screen needs to be set to Yes in order to print the date.
However, in case Excise details are enabled the Date & Time is printed regardless of the setting in the Printing
Configuration screen.
Declaration
The declaration entered in the Sales Voucher type Master will be printed. If it is not entered in the Sales Voucher
type, Tally will print the following line by default:
"We declare that this invoice shows the actual price of the goods described and that all particulars are true and
correct".
If you do not require this, you can set Print declaration to No in the Printing Configuration screen shown above.
Generated by
By default the Generated by field will display This is a Computer Generated Invoice . However, you can
change it if required. This is printed at the bottom of the Invoice.
For five or more copies of the Invoice, each copy will be marked as follows:

Voucher Class
Given here is an example of how a Tax Invoice having items with multiple tax rates can be generated using
Voucher Class.
If you press Enter on Name of Class in the screen displayed above you will see the following screen:
It is possible to enter a Tax Invoice having multiple items with different VAT Rates. Item default refers to the
Sales Ledger account that you may have set for a stock item.
If you set Override using Item default to Yes and specify a Sales Ledger in the Class Table the sales Ledgers
set in the item masters will still be considered.

If you have an additional ledger say, Discount Ledger there is a facility to edit the Assessable Value manually in
the sub screen that pops up when you press Enter on the Output VAT Ledgers.
In the above example, the discount has been deducted from the assessable value.
Payment of VAT in Tally
The Journal and Payment Voucher entries for the payment of VAT can be demonstrated with the example shown

Let us consider the following that we made, for VAT Computation:
1. Purchased from Creditor-1, 100 quantities of item1 at the rate of Rs.50 each.
2. Purchased from Creditor, 100 quantities of item2 at the rate of Rs.50 each. However we applied a discount of
Rs.200 here. Also, Excise tax of Rs.800 and Educational Cess of Rs.16 were levied on this.
Therefore we applied the InputVAT@4% on the Assessable value of Rs.5616, which is Rs.224.64.
OutputVAT@4% = Rs.600.
This is calculated automatically by Tally and the VAT Computation screen will be displayed as shown below.

Introduction
Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax on goods, introduced in lieu of sales tax, to ensure transparency and greater
compliance. The basic premise of VAT is to tax the “true value” added to the goods, at each stage of the transaction
chain. This ultimately reduces:
VAT is a multi-point tax as against sales tax, which is a single-point tax. VAT removes the cascading effect of tax on
tax, by allowing a set off for input tax, i.e. tax paid at earlier stage on purchases. It is an efficient, globally acceptable
and easy to administer taxation system.
VAT Composition
In order to relieve some small businesses of the need to keep detailed records, the law has made provision for a
simpler method of accounting for VAT. The method of calculating, VAT payable is also made easier. Such a method is
called a VAT Composition Returns.
The VAT Composition Returns states that “Small dealers with an annual gross turnover not exceeding 5 to 50 lakhs
and subject to respective state act and rules, who are otherwise liable to pay VAT, shall however have the option for a
composition scheme with payment of tax at a small percentage of gross turnover. The dealers opting for this
composition scheme will not be entitled to input tax credit.”
This scheme is a special method of determining the tax liability for specified dealers whose turnover in the year before
April 1, 2005 or in the current year exceeds Rs. 5 lakhs but does not exceed Rs.50 lakhs and subject to respective
state act and rules.

Registered Dealers
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
A dealer whose gross annual turnover is above the VAT threshold limit is required to register under VAT. This is
mandatory. A new dealer will be allowed 30 days time from the date of liability to get registered.
A VAT registered dealer will be eligible for input tax credit. All Registered Dealers must follow the VAT law,
irrespective of the size of the business. A Registered Dealer may sell to both Consumers and Non- Consumers.
Unregistered Dealers
A dealer whose annual turnover is less than Rs.5 lakhs is an Unregistered Dealer and has been granted the status of
a Consumer. So, the VAT paid by an Unregistered Dealer is treated as his cost and is charged no further VAT on his
sale. It is assumed that such small dealers will not be supplying other industries or dealers. Therefore they are not
included into the VAT chain.
But if the small dealer is in the business of actually supplying to others besides consumers, then he can optionally
choose to register and gain the benefits of a Registered Dealer.
The registered dealer pays VAT on goods purchased from unregistered dealer.
Criteria for Registration under VAT Composition Returns
Run a Restaurant, Eating house, Club, Hotel (Other than Star Hotels), Refreshment rooms or Boarding
Establishments
Run Bakeries
The rate of tax payable under VAT Composition Returns for small dealers and other category of dealers is different.
N o t e: Dealers who make Inter-state purchases are not eligible for the VAT Composition
R e t u r n s scheme. This provision applies to VAT implied in most of the states.

If you have selected to pay Tax under the VAT Composition Returns scheme:
You will not be allowed to claim any credits for input tax paid on your purchases
You will not be allowed to charge and collect tax from your customers
You have to retain tax invoices and retail invoices for all purchases
Filing VAT Composition Returns
The periodicity to file Composition Returns for small dealers and other category of dealers is different. Small traders in
some states are required to file the returns on quarterly basis as prescribed under the Karnataka VAT Rules and in
some other states like Maharashtra they are required to file the returns half yearly.
For other category of composition dealer’s, returns are required to be filed monthly. However, some states have again
linked this obligation of filing return based on their tax liability.
The Dealers registered under VAT Composition Returns need not issue Tax Invoice under the VAT Act.
The Dealers under VAT Composition Returns are required to pay flat rate of tax on their turnover.
Any dealer can opt for this scheme after doing the Cost Benefit Analysis under the VAT Composition Returns as
well as the regular scheme of VAT if he is eligible for the scheme.

Declaration
Service tax is an indirect tax levied on certain category of services provided by a person, firm, agency, etc. The
Government of India has marked a set of services as taxable under the service tax structure. The seller provides a
service and the responsibility of paying the service tax to the government rests with the seller.
UNREGISTERED VERSION OF CHM TO PDF CONVERTER PRO BY THETA-SOFTWARE
Currently, the rate of service tax on all the taxable services is 12%. Presently, service tax is applicable on 97
categories of services. A few of the listed services have an abatement facility. Service tax returns are to be filed to
the Commissionerate of Service Tax for the fiscal half-year. Information on the registration, rules, list of services,
rate of service tax, forms, etc can be found on the official website for service tax-http://www.servicetax.gov.in/
Service Tax Flow
While you pay service tax on sale of services that come under the service tax category, you can adjust service tax
credit availed on purchase of services (Buyer). This deduction is called adjusting credit against service tax . The
difference between the service tax that you have to pay for selling services and the service tax credit on
purchases that can be adjusted is the payable service tax .
Service tax (sales) that is adjustable against service tax credit (purchases) is also called availing input credit . Let
us look at an example.
Input service tax credit can be adjusted to both output service tax and output cess (surcharge on tax). But input
cess credit can be adjusted only towards output cess.
Assessable value
Service tax is calculated on the assessable value. The assessable value is the service charge value minus
abatement and expenses.
Abatement
The government has given a deduction on the value to be considered for service tax on a few categories of
services. For example, some categories of services include material value. A caterer has to procure materials to
prepare food products and sell services. Service tax is charged on the total amount for the service and does not
include the rate of the materials procured. Hence a deduction is provided. This deduction from the service charges
to be considered for service tax is called abatement . Abatement is either a percentage of the service charges or a
lump sum value.
Example:
Expenses
Expenses can be deducted from the total service charge to get the taxable amount.
E.g. A technical consultant might travel to different locations with respect to work.
The invoice is prepared as ‘consultancy’ and the travel expenses are included in the total service charges. If
supported by records, you can deduct the travel expenses from the total service charge to derive the assessable
value on which service tax is applicable.
Payment of Service Tax
UNREGISTERED VERSION
A seller provides a service OF CHMand
to a buyer TObills
PDF theCONVERTER PROThe
buyer for the service. BYbillTHETA-SOFTWARE
is inclusive of the service tax. The
seller does not have to pay service tax on the total bill amount but only on the payment received.
Example:
Assuming, the buyer pays the seller Rs.5, 000/- as part payment, the service-tax payable for the payment
received is calculated as given below.
Another case is when you receive an advance payment on services to be provided. Service tax is not applicable on
advances paid until it is adjusted against the invoice.
Where do I pay?
The service tax amount is to be paid in Form GAR – 7 Challan in a bank designated by the Commissionerate of
Service Tax. For a particular area there is a Focal bank, with branch and code. This is the designated bank.
Service tax payments will be accepted in all the branches of the bank, which are connected with the focal branch.
The list of the banks and their branches accepting service tax payments is available with the Commissionerate of
Service Tax.
If your company is a corporate company, service tax is payable on a monthly basis by the 5th of the following
month. For example, Service tax has to be paid by 5th January for the month of December.
Non-corporate like individuals, proprietary firms, partnership firms and so on, have to pay service tax for the fiscal
quarter. The payment is to be made by the 5th day of the month following the quarter. For example, service tax
for the quarter ending 30th June is to be paid by 5th July.
For the corporate and non-corporate bodies, service tax for the month of March is payable by 31st of March.
Filing returns
Corporate and non–corporate organizations have to file service tax half-yearly with details in Form ST-3 and
Input Credit Form (Form 5) to the Commissionerate of Service Tax. The filing of returns should be within 5
days from the last day of the fiscal half-year. For the fiscal half-year ending-date of 30th September, the last day
for filing service-tax returns is 5th October. Copies of all GAR – 7 issued during the period must be attached.

Introduction
A manufacturer of excisable goods can avail MODVAT (now CENVAT) credit of duty paid on the goods purchased
from any dealer w.e.f. 04.07.94. The dealer intending to issue modvatable (now Cenvatable) invoices should get
themselves registered with the jurisdictional Range Superintendent by following the procedure prescribed in Rule
9 of Central Excise (No.2) Rules, 2001. All the godowns /Store-rooms should be registered separately.
A Central Excise Registered dealer should ensure that the prescribed register is maintained for the godown/ Store-
room. All the consignments received/ issued from the godown have to be entered in the register (further details in
Central Excise Rules and Manual).
The Dealer shall issue the invoices in quadruplicate. The copies of the invoices issued by a first stage dealer and a
second stage dealer shall be marked at the top as "FIRST STAGE DEALER" and "SECOND STAGE DEALER"
respectively. The invoice issued by a first stage or second stage dealer in the case of imported goods and by a
second stage dealer in the case of other goods, shall be duly authenticated by the officer.
The Dealer shall issue one invoice for every consignment dispatched in one batch and at a given time. If a
consignment is split into two or more batches, then each consignment is dispatched separately with separate
invoices.

If the supply is not for a consideration in money or is for a consideration not wholly consisting of money, then the
value of the supply will be its Open Market Value (OMV).

Assessable value
Service Tax is calculated on Assessable Value. The Assessable Value is the difference of the Total Service
charge and Expenses.
Expenses
Expenses include those which incur while providing services i.e. postage, conveyance etc.
Service Tax is due when payment is received for taxable services rendered. If payment is not received within 12
calendar months from the date of issuance of invoice, the tax is due on the day immediately after the expiry of
the 12-month period.
Example: The service provider has issued an invoice on 1-1-2005 for Rm. 1050.00 and this includes Rm.50/- as
service tax. If he doesn’t receive the payment by 2-1-2006 then he has to pay tax of Rm.50.00 to the
department.
In Malaysia the Financial Year covers from 1st January to 31st December.
Service Tax is paid on the Assessable Value at 5%. Consider the following example.
Tax @ 5% 50.00
Disbursement - 150.00
If the client pays RM. 600 as partial payment, then the amount can be allocated using any of the following
methods.

day to a record of sales, which shall be submitted together with the monthly returns.
3. No alteration shall be made on the invoices or receipts and copies thereof. If a mistake has been made, the
invoice or receipt and copy thereof shall be treated as cancelled and clearly marked "CANCELLED". The
cancelled invoice or receipt together with all copies thereof shall be submitted to the Director General for
inspection.
4. If any invoice or receipt which has been issued is missing, the Director General shall estimate the service
tax to be paid.
Maintenance of Records
All invoices, receipts, books of account and other records as required by the Act shall be kept within the principal
place of business, or in any other place approved by the Director General.
The person claiming the refund must keep all records and documents pertaining to the claim for a period of six
years from the date of claim for inspection by the proper officer at any time.
When a payment is received from a customer, Service Tax must be paid to the Customs Department within 28
days of the end of a Taxable Period (a Taxable Period covers two months). If the licensee does not receive the
payment even after the invoice has been issued, the Service Tax has to be paid within 28 days of the 12 month-
period from the date of issuance of the invoice.
Method of Payment
The Service Tax due and payable, in respect of any return required to be filed under the Act, can be paid by any

Units (Work)
A Unit in Tally Payroll is similar to the Unit of Measure in Tally’s Inventory module. In Payroll, Units are used to
facilitate calculation of a Pay Head value based on Production, which in turn would be linked to Units such as
Time, Work or Quantity.
In the Units Creation screen, select the Type of unit from the list. Select the Symbol from the list.

unit in Overtime Pay Head.
The Attendance / Production type is used to record the attendance and production data. Based on the component
(Pay head) structure, you can define multiple attendance / production types.
Examples for attendance / production types are No. of days present or conversely, No. of days Absent and
production based such as Hours worked, Number of Pieces produced.
Attendance/Production Type is associated with the Pay Head in employee’s Pay structure. The variable data is
entered in the Attendance voucher for the payroll period.
Attendance/Production Types may also be defined in hierarchical groups whereby Types having a common
Unit are combined under logical groups.
The Attendance/Production Type may be Attendance/leave with pay, Leave without Pay (if salary is to be paid
based on number of days attended) Paid Leave, Unpaid Leave, Absent and Production type which can be
based on Piece Production, Overtime Hours, and so on.

In addition to the existing voucher types in Accounting and Inventory module, two new Voucher Types Attendance
and Payroll are enabled when Payroll Feature is activated in F11: Features.
Attendance voucher is used to record employees’ Attendance / production data for the Attendance/Production
Types created in Payroll Masters. Such data may be entered as a single Attendance voucher per payroll period or
multiple vouchers as and when required within a payroll period.
While generating the Payroll voucher, Tally automatically picks up required data, based on the period selected and
computes the corresponding value of Pay Heads, which are linked to such attendance/production types.
Payroll voucher is a document to manually enter one-time/ad-hoc payroll transactions for individual employees; as
well as Payroll processing activity for all or selected employees, using Auto Fill functionality.
Payroll Buttons
If Maintain Payroll option is set to Yes in F11: Features, the Payroll Buttons will appear along with Accounts
and Inventory buttons in Voucher Creation screen on the button bar.
Attendance Vouchers
Attendance voucher allows you to enter Attendance , Overtime , Leave or Production details. You can enter
separate vouchers for each day or a single voucher for a given pay period, say a month, with aggregated values.
You can also enter data for one or more or all employees. Similarly, one or more attendance types together in a

and minimises data entry for posting a voucher.
In a voucher class , you may exclude selection of inapplicable groups and/or specify applicable groups.
For example: In a Payroll voucher, you may exclude posting to ledger pertaining to groups such as Fixed Assets,
Sundry Debtors/Creditors, Sale/Purchase etc., or Include groups like Indirect Expenses, Loans &
Advances (Liabilities) and so on. Voucher Class in Tally Payroll helps the user to rapidly process their Payroll
