Same Indian GST muscle. Same CA-friendly books. Now on the cloud, on your phone, and shared live with your customers and your CA. Send us your Tally backup — we'll have you billing in Mera Invoices before evening tea.
Tally is a brilliant desktop accounting system. But your business now lives on phones, in WhatsApp, on the field. The pain points aren't bugs — they're the cost of a desktop-only world.
Tally lives on the office Windows machine. On site, on the road, at the customer's office — you call the office: "raise invoice number 47 for ABC, ₹1.2 lakh." Mera works on your phone, tablet, web, even offline.
Every month-end: zip the company folder, WhatsApp it to your CA, hope they have the right Tally version. Mera gives your CA a free read-only portal — they see your books live, no zip files, no version mismatches.
Multi-user Tally needs the gold edition, multiple licences, and a local network. In Mera, add your accountant, your billing clerk, your sales team — each with their own role and permissions, included in every paid plan.
Every month, the same WhatsApp: "bhai, last month ka invoice bhej dena." Mera gives each customer a free portal — they download every bill themselves, see payment status, raise disputes. You get your WhatsApps back.
Tally backups depend on you remembering to take them. Mera syncs every change to the cloud automatically — encrypted at rest, row-level secured, no thumb drives, no "we forgot last Friday's backup".
Tally Prime renewal · add-on charges · per-machine licences. Mera starts free, paid plans from ₹149/month, includes everything — accounting, GSTR, AI bill scanning, mobile app, portals, all of it.
Tally is great at what it does. Mera does the same — and what came after.
Pricing references reflect publicly listed Tally Prime Silver edition (single user, perpetual licence) and standard AMC. Comparison reflects feature parity at the time of writing.
You send the Tally backup. We map customers, vendors, products and opening balances. You verify and raise your first invoice. That's it.
From Tally: Gateway → F3 Company → Backup.
Email the resulting .tcb file (or zipped company folder) to
migrate@merainvoices.com
with a one-line description of your business.
Our team imports the masters into your Mera account: customers with GSTIN verification, vendors, products with HSN mapping, opening AR / AP per party, Chart of Accounts. Each row is validated against the GSTN database before it lands.
You log in, spot-check 10 customers, 5 vendors, 5 products and the Trial Balance. Run the Ageing report — it shows what's owed as of cut-over day. Approve, and start raising invoices in Mera. Tally stays on the desktop as your archive.
Move the books to Mera and your CA gets something better: a free, read-only portal where they see your invoices, payments, GSTR-1 / 3B previews and the full ledger — live, without any backup zip arriving on WhatsApp.
Email migrate@merainvoices.com with your Tally backup attached. Or sign up and one of us will reach out within 4 working hours.
No. Your Tally installation stays exactly where it is — we import a copy of the data, never touch the original. Keep Tally for the previous financial year's archive; run Mera Invoices going forward.
Customer master, vendor master, item master, opening balances per party (AR and AP), and your Chart of Accounts. Send us your Tally backup (.tcb or company folder); we map, validate and load it. Historical transactions stay in Tally — you start fresh in Mera with correct opening balances.
One afternoon for most businesses. Send the backup in the morning, review the imported data after lunch, raise your first invoice in Mera before tea. Larger ledgers (10,000+ parties) take a day.
Yes. Mera Invoices exports a Tally XML you can import into any Tally installation. But honestly — invite your CA to the CA portal instead. It's free, read-only, and they see your books live. No XML round-trips.
For invoicing, billing, GST filing, accounting, quotations, purchases, payments and customer-facing operations — yes. For specialised use cases like manufacturing BoM, advanced inventory costing methods or payroll, Tally still has more depth. Most SMBs don't need those modules; if you do, you can run both.
Free. Migration assistance is included on every plan, including the free tier. No setup fees, no consultant charges, no AMC.
Yes. Supabase row-level security, HTTPS everywhere, OTP-verified sign-up, encrypted backups at rest. Your data is yours — export it any time as Excel, JSON or Tally XML. DPDP compliant; servers in India region.
The business app is offline-first. Reads come from a local cache (so the UI is instant); writes queue locally and sync when you reconnect. You can raise invoices on the field, on the phone, without a stable connection.
Free migration. Free CA portal. Free customer portal. ₹0 to start, no credit card.
