Running payroll in Tally alone means pay heads, attendance entries and a payroll voucher on the office computer, or an Excel sheet and a journal typed in by hand. The Staff and Payroll add-on works the salary out from the attendance your staff and managers mark, and makes the entry for the Tally you already keep.
The Salary page shows this month's draft for everyone and the months already confirmed. Open salary so far at any time and confirm on the last day. The owner and the accountant can run it from the phone or from a computer.
Pick the Tally ledgers you already use for salary, PF, ESI, professional tax and advances, or let the app create them. The same ledger choice comes up when you approve a staff bill, where you pick the Tally expense ledger it goes to.
The confirmed month becomes one salary entry for Tally, debit and credit shown balanced before it is sent through Takkada's Tally connector. The app shows Waiting for Tally until it arrives.
Advances and loans get their own entries, and the salary run takes back what is due, with the EMI, interest and balance left for every loan.
| What you need | Tally with Takkada | Tally alone |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance | Marked on the phone each morning by a manager, or punched in by staff. | Attendance entries kept on the office computer, or a paper register. |
| Salary working | Worked out from attendance, overtime, fines and advances, line by line. | Pay heads set up once, or an Excel sheet each month. |
| The salary entry | One balanced entry made for Tally each month and sent through Takkada's Tally connector. | A payroll voucher or journal entered at the office. |
| Advances and loans | Recovered in the salary run, with an EMI table for loans. | Recovery worked out and entered by hand. |
| Staff bills | Approved to a Tally expense ledger, paid now or with salary. | Collected as paper, entered as a payment later. |
| Staff self-service | Staff see their own payslips, attendance, leave and ledger. | Payslips printed or sent from the office. |
The PF, ESI, professional tax, labour welfare fund and income-tax rates in the app are worked out from the rates it holds and are not yet checked by a CA; have your CA check the figures before you pay or upload them. TallyPrime has its own payroll with pay heads, attendance vouchers and payroll vouchers. Takkada does not use Tally's pay heads; it makes the salary entry as an accounting voucher in the ledgers you pick.

See what every plan includesNo. The Staff and Payroll add-on works the salary out in Takkada and makes the salary entry as an accounting voucher in the ledgers you pick, so Tally's pay heads and payroll vouchers are not needed. If you already use Tally payroll, talk to your accountant before running both.
You choose. Pick the Tally ledgers you already use for salary, PF, ESI, professional tax and staff advances, or let the app create new ones, and every entry uses that choice from then on.
Once you confirm the month, the app makes one balanced salary entry and sends it through Takkada's Tally connector, the same way Takkada sends invoices and receipts. Until it arrives the salary month shows Waiting for Tally.
