CA Payal Jain

Kaloti and Lathiya Chartered accountants Bhilai – Chhattisgarh

testimonial-img

As a practicing Chartered Accountant, I’ve been using **Tally Prime** for several clients’ accounting and GST compliance requirements over the past few years. Tally has proven to be one of the most dependable tools for managing day-to-day bookkeeping, preparing GST returns, and ensuring accuracy in compliance

testimonial-img

CA Swarnim Rai

M/s R Rishi and Associates Bhopal, MP

testimonial-img

With Tally Prime’s direct GSTR‑1 upload feature, our compliance time has shrunk dramatically. Before switching to Tally Prime’s GSTR-1 upload workflow, our team manually exported data, logged into the portal, uploaded files, checked for rejections, and handled correction loops—and it consumed half a day every month. What once took a half-day now takes only an hour. Highly recommend this to any business using Tally for GST filing.

TallyPrime now helps in filing various returns and reconciling all the GST returns filed with tally data, like GSTR3B, GSTR1, 2B v/s Input claimed, 2A v/s Input claimed, IMS direct upload, etc. with so much ease.
