Guides
GST, Tally & the money behind your business
Practical guides for GST-registered Indian businesses and the accountants who serve them. Every guide cites the CGST Act, CBIC circulars, and the official GST portal — not opinion.
GST compliance & ITC
Protect your input tax credit — 2B reconciliation, GSTIN checks, and where GST quietly leaks money.
Matching GSTR-2B with your purchase register — the complete practical guide
GSTR-2B is generated on the 14th each month. Reconcile it with your purchase register through IMS before GSTR-3B — the full 2026 routine and fixes.
GSTIN validation before Tally entry: the 15-digit checks that save your ITC
A wrong GSTIN sends your supplier's invoice into someone else's GSTR-2B — and your ITC with it. The 15-character structure, the checksum, and how to validate before posting to Tally.
Why GST compliance keeps leaking money — and how to stop it
GST leaks money through missed ITC, 2B mismatches, manual reconciliation and penalties. What each leak costs an Indian SMB — and the fixes, by ROI.
Tally & invoice automation
Get purchase bills into TallyPrime as clean, validated vouchers — by hand, by import, or automatically.
How to import purchase invoices into TallyPrime — every method, compared
Three ways to get a GST purchase bill into TallyPrime as a voucher: manual F9 entry, Excel/XML/JSON import, and automated AI extraction with a connector. The exact steps, and when each makes sense.
Tally purchase voucher automation: how bill-to-voucher actually works
What a TallyPrime purchase voucher is made of, and how automation builds one end-to-end — extraction, GST validation, the port-9000 XML push, and read-back verification.
GST invoice OCR for Tally: why OCR alone fails, and what actually works
Plain OCR reads text; it doesn't understand a GST invoice. Why OCR-only tools break on real bills, how AI extraction differs, and what accuracy to expect before data reaches Tally.
Understanding your business finances
Know whether you're actually making money — margins, cash, receivables, and where the leaks hide.

Most businesses leak money in five places: missed ITC, duplicate payments, unchased receivables, unreconciled GST, stale books. Here's how to find each.
Is Your Business Actually Profitable, or Just Busy? Three Numbers That Tell You the Truth

How to understand your own business finances — without becoming an accountant
Profit isn't your bank balance. A 30-minute monthly review — margins, receivables, GST position, purchase records — tells you if you really make money.
