How to Create a Company in Tally


On the initial "Company Info" screen, you can either select an existing company to start making voucher entries or create a new company to begin accounting. To create a new company, select the "Create Company" option and press Enter. This will take you to the Company Creation screen.
Here, you need to fill in information such as the company's name, mailing address, financial year, etc.

Company Creation Screen Details

Let's go through each field on the Company Creation screen:

  • Directory: This is the path on your computer where Tally will save your company data. For example, C:\Tally\Data.
  • Name: Enter the official name of your company as you want it to appear in Tally.
  • Mailing Name: This is usually the same as the company name but can be changed if you use a different name for postal communication.
  • Address: Enter the full address of your company.
  • Country: Select the country your business operates in from the list.
  • State: After selecting the country, choose the appropriate state.
  • Pincode: Enter the postal code for your address.
  • Contact Details: Fill in your company's Phone Number, Mobile Number, Fax, E-mail, and Website.
  • Financial Year Begins From: Enter the start date of the financial year for your company (e.g., 01-04-2023).
  • Books beginning from: This is the date from which you want to start maintaining your account books. It is usually the same as the financial year start date.
  • Security Control: You can set a Tally Vault password for data encryption or use security controls to create users with different levels of access. This is optional.
  • Base Currency Information: These fields are usually pre-filled based on the country selected. You can change details like the currency symbol, formal name, and formatting if needed.

After carefully filling in all the information, double-check it for accuracy. Finally, press Enter repeatedly or press Ctrl+A to accept and save the screen. Your company will be created and will be added to the list of companies.
