FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
Everything people ask before trying MoneyMistri — from Tally mechanics to what actually happens to your data.
Getting started
Do I need to install anything on my computer?
No. MoneyMistri is a cloud-based web application — you use it from any browser, including your phone. For syncing to Tally, we provide a lightweight desktop connector that runs alongside Tally Prime on the computer where Tally lives. It takes under 2 minutes to set up.
Which Tally versions does it work with?
Tally Prime. The connector talks to Tally on the same computer it runs on, pushes clean Purchase Vouchers, and verifies after import that the voucher actually landed correctly — it reads the entry back from Tally rather than assuming success.
How accurate is the AI data extraction?
Our extraction engine achieves 95%+ accuracy on standard Indian GST invoices. For the rest, deterministic checks — GSTIN checksum, tax-mode conflicts, totals consistency — flag exactly which fields need your eyes, and the review screen shows the original bill beside the extracted data so you can fix anything in one click. Nothing reaches Tally without passing through that review.
What types of bills and invoices are supported?
All standard Indian business documents: GST sales invoices, purchase bills, debit/credit notes, and expense receipts. You can upload PDFs, scanned images, or photos taken from your phone camera.
Can I import purchase invoices into Tally Prime automatically?
Yes — that is the core of what MoneyMistri does. You upload the purchase bill (PDF, scan, or photo), AI extracts every field, GST validation checks it, you review anything flagged, and one click syncs a clean Purchase Voucher into Tally Prime through our desktop connector. No re-typing, no manual XML imports.
Working with your accountant
Does MoneyMistri replace my accountant or CA?
No — it removes the worst part of their job. Your CA still reviews, advises, and files; MoneyMistri makes sure the purchase data they work from is complete, validated, and already in Tally. Many accountants ask their clients to use it precisely so the records arrive clean.
Can my accountant and I both use it?
Yes. The owner and the accountant work in the same workspace on the same books — upload from the shop, review from the office. There is no separate "CA edition" to buy.
Data, trust, and control
Is my financial data safe?
Your documents are processed only to run the product — never sold, never shared with advertisers, never used to train third-party public models. Uploaded files are auto-deleted after a retention window (currently 180 days). Traffic is encrypted, and the connector talks to Tally only on your own computer. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
What happens if the AI reads something wrong?
It gets caught before it matters. Every document passes deterministic validation (GSTIN checksums, tax splits, totals) and a human-review screen where flagged fields are highlighted next to the original bill. You approve, correct, or reject — and an audit trail records every change. AI does the typing; you keep the control.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes — the Starter plan is free, and every paid plan starts with one month free, no card required. Upload this month's bills and judge the result on your own books, not a demo.
The money questions
How does MoneyMistri help me find where my business is losing money?
Leaks hide in stale books. When every purchase bill is captured the day it arrives, three things become visible that aren't visible in books that run two months behind: GST credit you haven't claimed (every uncaptured bill is ITC lost — permanently, after the Section 16(4) deadline), duplicate vendor payments (validated invoice numbers make the second copy show up), and a current picture of who owes whom. MoneyMistri keeps the underlying data current automatically; the leaks stop being invisible.
My sales are good but there's never money in the bank. Can this help?
That gap usually means cash is leaking through things profit reports don't show: GST you collected but owe, receivables nobody chased, missed input credit, payments made twice. The first step to finding it is books that are current — which is exactly the part MoneyMistri automates. Start with our guide "Is your business actually profitable, or just busy?" for the three numbers to check monthly.
My CA keeps saying my purchase records are incomplete. How does this fix that?
Bills die in WhatsApp chats and courier envelopes before they ever reach your CA. With MoneyMistri, you (or your staff) photograph or upload bills the day they arrive; extraction and validation happen immediately, and your CA gets clean, complete, Tally-ready records instead of a shoebox at quarter-end. Most "incomplete records" problems are capture problems, not accounting problems.
How do I get GST filing under control without hiring more staff?
The expensive part of GST is not the filing — it's the data entry and reconciliation behind it. If purchase bills enter the books the day they arrive, validated against GST rules, then GSTR-2B reconciliation becomes a comparison of two clean lists instead of a month-end archaeology project, and your CA's time goes to review instead of re-keying. That's the work MoneyMistri removes.
Pricing & plans
How much does it cost?
The Starter plan is free for one GSTIN and up to 10 invoices a month. Growth is ₹1,500/month for up to 4 GSTINs and 40 invoices, and Scale is ₹4,500/month for unlimited GSTINs and up to 200 invoices. Beyond that, talk to us for a custom plan. Full details on the pricing page.
What if I have more than one business or GSTIN?
The Growth and Scale plans cover multiple GSTINs under one account — each business keeps its own books, contacts, and Tally company, switched from one workspace.
