So Many frequently, I receive comments/feedback from my readers that after downloading the latest software of tally.erp 9 and creating a new company in tally.erp 9 what they should do to learn the tally.erp 9 and how to go ahead. The most confusing thing in tally.erp 9 for a beginner esp if unfamiliar with accounts is the ledgers and grouping of the same
The next step for all such readers, I will suggest creating some ledgers in the Tally.ERP 9. Because in when a new company is created in the Tally.ERP 9. Two ledgers will be created by default that is cash and profit and loss account.
So, until and unless a user creates some ledgers in a newly created company, he/she will not be able to post any entries in tally.erp 9
BUT again while creating the ledgers in Tally.ERP 9, people feels difficulty that is which ledger should be created and more difficult is to determine the group to which a ledger will belong to.
For the benefit of all such readers, I am giving a brief list in general nature but again some basic ledgers with related group which every company should have to maintain. Before going further , you should have a look to the basic accountancy that will enhance your understanding to accountancy and tally.erp 9 and will help you to learn tally.erp 9 in a quick and smooth way.
Sr. No. | Direct & Indirect Expenses | Sundry Creditors/Current Liabilities/ Statutory liabilities, Duties & Taxes | Sundry Debtors, Cash & Bank, Current Assets,Loans, and advances,Deposit |
01 | Printing & Stationery Expenses | All ledger from whom you purchase goods, services or fixed assets | All customer ledger to whom you sell goods or provide services. |
02 | Office Expenses | Salary payable, professional tax payable, pf payable will come under Current liabilities | Bsnl Deposit, Electricity deposit bank deposit will come under deposit group |
03 | Travelling Expenses | Auditors, Consultants ledger account | Investment made in shares or other securities will come under Investments |
04 | Office Staff Salary | All, duties/tax account will come under duties and taxes account. | current/saving bank will come under bank accounts |
05 | Conveyance Expense | O.D/ CC/Loan will come under Secured loans/ Bank OCC account | |
06 | Depreciation | ||
Transportation | |||
labour charges, Salary, pf admin charges, electricity bills,maintenance and repairs etc |
This is not the exhausted list. It is just for general reference purpose for beginners who are exercising their hands for the first time on accounts/ tally.erp 9.
Further to above, Direct and indirect nature of expenses depend on some factors like nature of business e.g. Mfg, company, trading company, service provides etc but these things are for advanced users of accounts and is useful for reporting purpose only.
This list is very useful for beginners who wanted to learn tally.erp 9 on their own but again don’t know how to start then they should go through the same
If you like feels this article is useful, then why don’t you retweet it and follow me on twitter @tallynine. I will very glad to see on twitter

Respected Sir,

please send me the clear definition of groups and ledger
it is very use full to me to under stand the ledger and groups sir but one doubt stock and cash in hand and owners capital is comes under which group or ledger if answer me its is urgent
Ashok,
Cash ledger is in built ledger that is automatically creaed under Cash in hand group by the tally system when you first create a new company. You don’t need to create a cash ledger account. However if you wish so, you can create a petty cash ledger (same under Cash in hand group).
Capital will come under capital group account.

i know tally erp 9, but what mean by remote access tally, how it is useful?
Saurabh,
Please read my articles on Remote access on the site. you will get all the required information
i understand tally erp9 creating account and inventory information but problem is how to use through internet to connect business of different position i mean connect and disconnect in lefside f4
Dear Mohamed,
F4 Site connect is something different. It is used for remote access/ edit of data. that is supposed you want to work on your tally which is installed in your office system,but again you can work on the same at your home without a genuine Tally.ERP 9. you do not need a licensed copy to work on a remote tally.
for more information, please read my article on remote access in Tally.ERP 9

i have a problem that when ever i create a ledger in contra i.e. interest account by puting Alt + C (Create Ledger) it does not shows in Contra but it is shown in payment, receipt side. so it is not possible to put entries of interest in contra account. please reply immediately.
Ashok,
“Contra “is not for a payment or a receipt voucher.
Contra just suggest chaning of money from one pocket to another pocket! e.g. ownership of the item/benefit value remains with the same current owner.
Say for interbank or inter cash transactions or cash to bank and bank to cash transactions.
Interest on receipt is your income so it will be posted in a Receipt voucher only.
hope it will help you.

capital reserve comes under?
if balancesheet, a specfic ledger showing negative balance.is it possible?
Muhammed,
Yes, that’s possible. The balance sheet will show you what u input in the System or just a mirror of your transactions. To avoid such unpleasing look of balancesheet you need to play with your accounts, group it properly and u will be able to show it appropriately

Please provide the solution to map the above entry correctly so that the correct stock is shows.
Hello Ifttikar,
Sorry due to the busiest work schedule, I missted many questions here to answer
Regarding your query, the solutions is simple
When you raise the GRN (Receipt note, use the tracking Number as the receipte noteitself and also assign the p.o. number) now when you pass the purchase entry, track it against the GRN Number and it will server the purpose

Dear Mahendra,
I am working in a State Govt. Department, in which Double-entry accounting is not followed. We procured one Tally ERP 9.0 recently with the aim of computerization of our accounts. But we could not put in the Chart of Accounts as per Govt. Budget Heads of Accounts which has 6-levels. Some local Tally experts have told us that Tally is not suitable for State Government type of Cash accounts. Kindly confirm if this is true, or there is a way out, even if it may in slightly different form. Thanks and regards.
Dear Uttam,
I confirm Tally.erp 9 is fully compatible with Government Type Accounting and there is many government Clients using Tally.erp 9.
Tally solutions pvt. Ltd have a dedicated help channel for Government Clients. If you need our help in this regard then please fill out our contact us page along with your serial number and we will do the needful.

It can’t be considered as income!
It has to be accounted as unsecured loans from the owner!
