What is Tally Prime?

Tally Prime is a business management software developed by Tally Solutions, widely used in India for accounting, inventory, GST compliance, and payroll processing.

It supports statutory compliance for Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), Professional Tax, Gratuity, and Income Tax, and generates related statutory forms, challans, and returns.
