  1. Tally prime is not generating excel file of GSTR-1 , it will take time to mature being no support for this from Tally team

    1. The recent changes made by the government have not been amended in Tally Prime release 1.1.4 regarding the GSTR-1 report. But this amendment will be done in the next release confirmed by Tally Banglore.

  2. Working in new version of tally prime was so good. It has so many new features like first of all copy option has changed. it was too helpful for me. & then, when we passing entry in tally also we can check common reports.

    can we store our tally data :in tally cloud. if our hard disk is damaged can we get data from tally.

    1. No. As of now, Tally is not cloud-based. We suggest you take a regular data backup in an external pen drive or save the backup in the mail.

    1. You can install Tally ERP9 and Prime in different folders, then activate the license on Prime and configure the same license on ERP. In this way, you can work on both.

  4. Does Tally provide any CRM – costomer relationship management features e.g.:- Quotation , aftersales service data, active inquiry – or lost inquiry register etc etc

    1. TallyPrime is suggested to be used as it is the latest version and many changes are made in it which makes it easier to use.

  5. hi, I have purchased a license for tally erp 9 can i use the same credentials for tally prime or do i need to buy another license

  6. Sir,
    We download 2B from GST Portal. In this aspect can I mark in Tally Prime which party submit GSTR1, show 2B in my GST portal, which Party not submit GSTR1.

  7. if u have release a new version than u should also add a theme setting to it so we can convert into dark mode to reduce some eye issue i hope if u can provide this on update of prime version

    The changes of shortcuts make the experienced to fresher. Comparing from Tally 5.4 up to Tally Prime, the knowledge form earlier version have zero reaching at Tally Prime. Although, tally prime provides more option but it seams so complicacy. In my opinion Tally is famous only for its double entry system but using Tally Prime feels like work with an user define software. The conclusion is that there is no progress for a tally user’s knowledge at Tally Prime. As the name changed the feature changed.

    Is it correct to change the shortcuts to change the habits of tally users which effect badly on the work efficiency.

  10. We are using erp9 and we need to send our data to our CA by email. If they are not having prime can they open data in old versions such as erp9?
