    I pleased to see your valuable website and you too. Briefly about myself as

    Basically I am B.Com Graduate, passed out in 2004. I started my career in 2005 but in wrong path, I was attracted about salary in Marketing. Joined as a Sales Executive – Credit cards with MNC Bank and worked for more than 3 and Half Years. Later I promoted as a Sales Develop manager with the same company with my dream package.

    But unortunately, I worked only one year and quit from the profession itself.

    Now I jumped my profession from Marketing to Accounting in the year of 2009 December.

    But I am not comfortable, bcoz I am unable to make JV, TDS, etc., I changed 2 Companies as of now. One of my cousin said, he will guide me in this matter, but he is hopeless, becoz of his attitude.

    Please help me out how to prepare JV’s? Why Should we mke JV’s etc.,

  75. Dear Sir,

    I have a problem to post an entry of salary professional tax, req. u to solve my problem.

    question is.

    1. if Mr.ABC – salary is Rs. 11000/- recd. in cash.then professional tax. amt will be 200/-.

    what will be the correct entry in tally.

    1. Jyotsna,
      You need to set up payroll auto processing in Tally. It will require some basic set up. Once you do the same, it will process entire Salary in automated way with all earnings and deductions and you need not to worry for the entry!

  76. Dear Sir,

    I am using Tally ERP.9 Release 1.6 (Series A) and stat 111. I tried to replace the stat by stat 153 but this stat not working with my current release 1.6 so what i do for updating stat

  77. Dear Sir,

    I have a one more problem.

    In J&K all industreis get remission order against Local sale from Commercial Tax Department after submision the sale tax return problem is the when we pass the sale voucher entry and show the VAT FORMS report Report show the wrong figure. Example is given below:-

    X Dr 1103
    Sale 13.5% Cr 1000
    BED Cr 100
    Edu Cess Cr 2
    S H Edu Cr 1
    Less Price Adj Dr 53
    OutPut Vat 5% Cr 53

    Total Invoice Value is 1103

    Amt will be shown in Return (1000+100+2+1)= Rs.1050 and Vat will be shown in Return = Rs.53 but fact is that amt shown in report Rs.1103 and vat Rs.53 and vat payble report show the Rs.53 as vat payable balance but in actual we will not pay the vat because firstly we deduct amt as price adjustment after than we mentioned same amt of tax which is deducted as price adjustment

    Note; In J&K state we all submit the Annexure I for claiming remission order but now till date no provision mentioned in tally

    Ledger Group are given as under:-
    Sale Sale
    Excise duty & Taxes (excise)
    Price Adj duty & taxes (other)
    Vat duty & Taxes (Vat)

    Please tell me how to solve this problem

    Thanks & Regards
    Ranu

  85. If i pay the sales tax is RM 5000.00 but i got the sales tax deduction from purchases goods, if i can deduct RM 1,000.00 so the total sales tax i pay is RM 4,000.00.

    How to do the transaction in simple method? thank you.

  86. I have to make a sales invoice and i have to give cash discount to the party because he is making payment within 15 days through cheque.

    I want to know whether cash discount is given before VAT rate or should be given after VAT?

    For Example:
    ————–
    Item Name Qty Rate Total
    Tubelight 20 Nos 40 800

    Less:Cash Discount 2% 16
    ——
    784
    VAT 14.5% 113.68
    ——-
    TOTAL 897.68
    ——-

    OR
    Item Name Qty Rate Total
    Tubelight 20 Nos 40 800

    ——
    800
    VAT 14.5% 116
    ——-
    916
    Cash Discount 2% 18.32
    ——–
    TOTAL 897.68
    ——–

    Which one is correct.
    Kindly Reply.

    1. Ramesh,
      Cash discount has nothing to do with billed value or vat.
      Cash discount is a post sales transactions and you can’t give its effect in advance that means you have to charge full vat otherwise it will be accounted as tax evasion.
      you can give a trade discount in your sales invoice without any issue!

  87. want to edit the entry of TDS wherein I have entered one wrong reference of bill no. & amt in the column of “against ref.” appearing below party name. In short want to delete that wrong bill reference and amount.

  88. Dear Sir
    Basically i am a recharge dealer, i get trasfer balance from my bank account and resale to my party, so by one means balance in hand is my current asset, is it right and at the time of saling balance should i pass payment entry or sales entry ? and how to maintain that recharge balance account ? means i wanted to get that rechrge account balance is credited when i transfer amount from bank and debited when sell to my party.

    Thanks

    1. Hi jitubhai,
      What a surprise to see here!
      How can I forget my collegues who worked with me. I am so happy to see you after a long time
      Well Right Now I shifted to mangalore recently

      regarding learning Tally, unfortunately, there is no easiest way to learn it.All you need is to start working in an Account department in any company. The day-to-day work are the best teacher!

      If ever you any confusion or doubt in accounting of any kind of entry, I am always available here to help you. but Again Accounting is a very practical subject and every company have different nature of business, different types of accounting treatment, nature of transactions so, its not easy nor possible to offer any ready made solution in this regard.

  93. Jitendra Parmar (JITU) says:

    Dear Rana Shab,

    I am very happy that my dear collogue shifted to Mangalore.

    Thanks a lot for your timely precious suggestions in regards of learning Telly.

    As stated by you that Account is Practical subject & it is depend on the nature of business of one company to another, then also I keen to learn the telly at any cost from the basic from my GURU of Account Mr. M. K. Rana. Therefore for learning telly at Home through theoretically as well as self practice on computer at Home, Please kindly suggest the BEST REFERENCE BOOK TO LEARN TELLY (Covers all Chapters) & LATEST TELLY SOFTWARE which is internationally approved & helpful for future.

    Meanwhile, at present I am working As an PA to Shri Kishorbhai Kadvani – Chairman of GIDC-Lodhika Association & looking task of his personal account through manually. Now to earn more though Telly Data Entry of 1-10 company in single day in GIDC – Lodhika, Shapar, Metoda & Halamtara, I therefore think that there is large scope for Account rather than other department in any Indl. Company.

    Please kindly suggest whatever suitable for me.

    Thanks,

    Jitu

    I am a freelance worker. I have trouble in entering salary TDS working. I created TDS on contractor, professional or technical, etc with exact sections under duties and taxes in tally. But there is no section available for TDS on salary. I need the section for TDS on salary to get select in tally under duties and taxes, for that what i want to do. or there anyother provisions available to get this option.

    I spoken to one expert, he said that sec of TDS on salary not available in ledger. But this option is available on Payroll. Can you detail it please.

    1. Hello RV.

      You were rightly advised that the TDS on salary is covered under the Payroll Feature.
      So, you need to enable Payroll in Tally.ERP 9 and then you need to configure the employee master, salary master, leave and many things after that you need to pass all salary vouchers in the payroll Vouchers.
      If you need my help in this regard, you can hire me through Vcita. at the site http://www.tallynine.com on the right side bar there is an option to hire me

    1. Hello Mukesh,
      In Tally.ERP 9 Vat computataion generate automatically, but you need to configure your Sales/Purchase /Debtors/Creditors ledger and item ledger properly. And also need to pass entries accordingly.

      1. I Paid Professional Tax how to enter journal entry in tally ERP9

        1. Shalini,

          Professional tax or any payment entry is to be passed through the payment voucher.(F5)
          Debit the professional tax and credit bank or cash by which you paid the tax.

          1. Ya i know payment entry. after payment i am checking Professional tax ledger it was showing closing balance. i want close that balance what i can do i am asking you please help me.

          2. Shalini,

            I am not getting you. There are 2 types of professional tax. One is on Employee- staff and another is firm’s professional tax. If you are posting for the second one, then it will have a debit balance. the professional tax should be created under the indirect expenses group for firm’s professional tax.
            And if you are posting Employee professional tax, then it will have completely another entries as well as grouping of the ledger too
