Download and Install TallyPrime & TallyPrime Edit Log

New users: Getting started with TallyPrime? Installing it is quick and hassle-free! Whether you’re a first-time user or an existing one, we’ve got you covered. In just a few steps, you’ll have TallyPrime up and running, ready to manage your business effortlessly. 

Before you begin, choose the right version for your business needs. 

• TallyPrime is perfect if you need a simple yet powerful business management solution for accounting, inventory, and compliance.
• TallyPrime Edit Log is recommended for businesses that require a detailed audit trail of all transactions to meet statutory compliance.

The process of downloading and installing is same for both TallyPrime and TallyPrime Edit Log. However, you can easily differentiate between them—from the setup file and application appearance to the screen when you launch the application.

Existing users: If you are already using an earlier version of Tally, then upgrade to TallyPrime or TallyPrime Edit Log, as applicable. Thereafter, you can continue your business as usual.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for more details on using it.
