TallyPrime 6.1 comes with two different release:

• TallyPrime 6.1

• TallyPrime Edit Log 6.1

While both versions offer numerous improvements, the key difference is the Edit Log feature. The Edit Log version comes with an permanent log of all changes, providing enhanced audit and compliance features. For the non-Edit Log version, this log can be enabled or disabled based on user preferences.

Released in June 2025, TallyPrime 6.1 brings meaningful improvements that help businesses handle GST compliance, ITC tracking, and internal audit processes with more control and less effort.

This version introduces the Invoice Management System (IMS) - a robust solution designed to simplify invoice reconciliation and ITC reporting. Along with IMS, this release delivers smarter tools across banking, MSME compliance, GST filings, and edit log tracking.

Invoice Management System (IMS)

Built-in Control for GST Invoices and Input Tax Credit

TallyPrime 6.1 debuts a fully integrated Invoice Management System, making it easier for businesses to compare purchase invoices with the GST portal and decide ITC eligibility more confidently.

What’s new in IMS? -

• Inward Supplies at a Glance
  Supplier invoices fetched from the GST portal can now be viewed in a grouped, color -coded format - highlighting matched, mismatched, and missing entries.

• Set Actions for Each Invoice
  Businesses can mark invoices as Accepted, Rejected, Pending, or No Action based on how they reconcile with books. These tags directly influence what gets carried into GSTR-2B and 3B.

• ITC Summary in One Place
  The IMS dashboard gives a clear overview of all ITC - what’s available, what’s under review, and what has been rejected - helping decision-makers file returns with full awareness.

• GSTR-2B Recalculation on Demand
  With actions applied, the system can regenerate GSTR-2B data in real time, ensuring that the return is always aligned with the most recent reconciliation.

• Remarks and Notes for Reference
  Remarks can be added against invoices and are reflected across reports. These notes help auditors or internal users track decisions during reconciliation.

Edit Log Summary

A Detailed Trail of Changes Across Entries and Users

With growing audit requirements, having clarity over who made what changes becomes critical. TallyPrime 6.1 refines this with a more powerful Edit Log Summary, which gives full visibility into changes made to both vouchers and master records.

Highlights of the enhancement:

• Complete Change Overview
  The report outlines entries that were changed, untouched, or deleted. Both transactional and master data changes are tracked.

• Drill-down to Entry-Level Versions
  From the high-level summary, users can navigate down to each voucher or master to see what changed and in which version.

• Advanced Filters for Clarity
  The report supports filtering by user, activity type, and time period. Users can also switch between full logs or limited views showing only changes.

• User Identification (With Security Enabled)
  If user-level security is on, Tally tracks the user ID and timestamp for each modification - making accountability easier.

MSME Experience Enhancements

Updated Reporting for Better Vendor Compliance

TallyPrime now includes support for the latest MSME Form 1 Annexure, making it simpler to prepare compliance reports for suppliers registered under MSME.

Key upgrades include:

• Updated Form Format
  The revised format now includes a supplier-wise summary, displaying PAN and payment timelines (within or beyond 45 days).

• Multi-Supplier View with Filters
  Reports can be tailored using filters, helping users focus on specific vendors or criteria during audit checks.

• Export-Ready for MCA Uploads
  Data can be exported directly into a pre-formatted Excel sheet compatible with the MCA portal - reducing prep time and errors.

Banking Improvements

Streamlined Reconciliation and Expanded Controls

Banking gets a series of usability and process improvements in TallyPrime 6.1, aimed at saving time and reducing reconciliation errors.

What's improved? -

• Opening BRS After Company Split
  Any transactions left un-reconciled at the time of splitting a company will automatically show up as part of the Opening BRS in the new data-set.

• Manual Reconciliation Made Simpler
  

  • Entries manually reconciled earlier can now be included.

  • Reconciliation values are shown even when done in future periods.

• Better Matching with Potential Match Feature
  In both Find Match and Modify Match screens, Tally now suggests probable matches - reducing time spent on review.

• Bank Date Visibility in Reports
  When transactions are reconciled using linking, the bank date is now visible even in the reconciled report.

• Import Reverse Payment Files from Anywhere
  Files can now be imported regardless of their source location. The Import Summary now offers a detailed breakdown of payment statuses.

• Improved Sync for Multi-Company Setups
  In setups where data is synced between companies, the system can override manually marked statuses during synchronization to ensure consistency.

GST Compliance Upgrades

Filing and Reconciliation with More Flexibility and Accuracy

This release delivers important enhancements for businesses filing GSTR returns and managing reconciliation at scale.

What's new -

• Reconciliation Even with Minor Mismatches
  Tally now allows reconciliation even if the taxable amount in books slightly differs from what's on the portal.

• Flexible GSTR-1 Upload Formats
  GSTR-1 data can be exported in .xlsx or .csv formats, giving businesses more control over how they manage offline filing.

• Clearer Handling of Rejected Invoices
  Invoices marked Rejected in IMS are moved to a separate section within GSTR-2B and excluded from ITC totals - but remain available for review later.

• Auto Reconciliation Within IMS
  A new setting under Company GST Details enables automatic marking of matched invoices as Accepted, minimizing manual effort and ensuring clean books.

Wrapping Up

TallyPrime Release 6.1 and TallyPrime Edit Log Release 6.1 continues the evolution that began with the Release of 6.0 - adding sharper tools for compliance, smarter data tracking, and more clarity around ITC and reconciliation.

With the new Invoice Management System (IMS) at its core, this version simplifies complex workflows and improves visibility across key business functions. Businesses can now manage their Input Tax Credit with greater confidence, ensuring that reconciliation and return filing processes are both accurate and streamlined.

The enhanced Edit Log Summary strengthens audit readiness by offering deeper visibility into transactional changes, while upgraded MSME compliance, smarter banking reconciliation, and refined GST features reflect Tally’s continued focus on real-world usability and regulatory alignment.
