FAQ
Accounting software records your sales, purchases, expenses and bank transactions in double-entry books and produces the ledger, trial balance, profit and loss account and balance sheet. Indian tools add GST invoices and returns, e-invoices, e-way bills and TDS.
Desktop tools such as TallyPrime and BUSY 21 keep data on your PC, work offline and can be bought once. Cloud tools such as Zoho Books and Giddh need no installation, work on phones and let your CA log in, but you pay every year. Pick based on where your team and CA work.
Vyapar advertises Tally import and export, Giddh syncs with Tally, BUSY says it can move Tally data, and myBillBook exports to Tally on request. Zoho publishes a Tally migration guide labelled for its GCC editions. Use the Tally import filter to see them.
You must generate e-invoices for B2B sales once your aggregate turnover crosses ₹5 crore. Use the GST e-invoice filter, and check the plan: some tools keep e-invoicing for higher plans.
Zoho Books (revenue up to ₹25 lakh), BUSY Express, Giddh, ProfitBooks and Odoo (one app) have free plans, and ERPNext is free to self-host. Use the Free plan filter.
