Every business in India, from a neighbourhood shop to a large distributor, has to keep accurate books, file GST on time and know whether it made a profit. That's why accountants who can work confidently in TallyPrime, and who understand GST, are needed in shops, CA firms, companies and as freelancers. This course starts at zero, with what a debit and a credit really are, and takes you step by step to keeping a business's full books in TallyPrime 7.2: recording every transaction, managing stock and bank accounts, handling GST from the invoice to the return, running payroll and TDS basics, and producing the final accounts.

What you'll learn

• Accounting foundations: golden rules, journal, ledger and trial balance, then installing TallyPrime (free Educational mode), company setup, F11, F12 and shortcuts
• Masters and vouchers: groups, ledgers, stock items, and payment, receipt, contra, purchase, sales, journal, credit and debit notes
• Inventory, orders and banking: godowns, batches, price lists, order processing, cost centres, bank reconciliation, cheques and e-payments
• GST in TallyPrime: GST 2.0 slabs, setup, tax invoices, e-invoicing, e-way bills, reverse charge, GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, IMS and GSTR-2B reconciliation
• Payroll and TDS: employees, pay heads, payslips, PF and ESI basics, and TDS under the Income-tax Act, 2025
• Reports and career: day book, outstanding, P&L, balance sheet, ratios, cash flow, year-end closing, backups, Excel, interviews and freelancing

Learn by doing. You keep the books of Sharma Electronics, a fictional GST-registered electronics shop and distributor in Jaipur, for a full financial year: purchases from suppliers, sales to retailers across Rajasthan and other states, returns, salaries, bank entries, GST returns and final accounts. Every TallyPrime lesson shows the exact screens, menu names and shortcut keys, and every number is checked so debits always equal credits. Quizzes and a small task in every lecture, practice files with answer keys, a self-assessment task after every module and two live projects at the end (a full month of books, then that month's GST returns and final accounts) make sure you can do the work, not just watch it.
