Tally on a desktop.

Tally got you here. It won't get you to FY 30-31.

Tally is a brilliant desktop accounting system. But your business now lives on phones, in WhatsApp, on the field — and the pain points aren't bugs, they're the cost of a desktop-only world.

"I can't bill from the field"
Tally lives on the office Windows machine. On site you call the office: "raise invoice 47 for ABC, ₹1.2 lakh." Mera works on your phone, tablet and web — even offline.
"Send me the Tally backup"
Every month-end: zip the company folder, WhatsApp it to your CA, hope their Tally version matches. Mera gives your CA a free read-only portal — books live, no zip files.
"Only one person can use it"
Multi-user Tally needs the gold edition, more licences and a local network. In Mera, add your accountant, billing clerk and sales team — each with their own role, on every paid plan.
"My customer keeps asking for the PDF"
The same WhatsApp every month: "bhai, last month ka invoice bhej dena." Each customer gets a free portal — they download bills themselves, see status, and pay by UPI.
"What if the hard disk crashes?"
Tally backups depend on someone remembering to take them. Mera syncs every change to the cloud automatically — encrypted, no thumb drives, no "we forgot Friday's backup".
"AMC renewal hurts every year"
Tally Prime renewal, add-on charges, per-machine licences. Mera starts free, paid plans from ₹149/month — accounting, GSTR-ready reports, AI bill scanning, mobile and portals included.

Honest answers about switching

Will I lose my old Tally data? +

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.

What does Mera Invoices import from Tally? +

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.

How long does the migration take? +

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.

Can I still export back to Tally for my CA? +

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.

Does Mera Invoices replace Tally completely? +

For invoicing, billing, GSTR-ready reports, 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.

What does the migration cost? +

Free. Migration assistance is included on every plan, including the free tier. No setup fees, no consultant charges, no AMC.

Is the data safe on the cloud? +

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.

What if my office internet goes down? +

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.

Your books on a desktop. Or your books, everywhere.

Free migration. Free CA portal. Free customer portal. ₹0 to start, no credit card.
