Tally Prime & ERP 9 Course: GST, Accounting for Beginners

Tally Prime and ERP 9 are the standard accounting platforms used across Indian businesses of all sizes. This beginner-level course on Udemy walks through the core features that new users need to start managing finances immediately.

The course begins with the basics: installing the software, navigating the interface, and understanding essential features such as creating ledgers, recording voucher entries, and managing inventory. Learners progress to GST accounting, where they extract GST reports, handle input tax credit, and generate E-way bills — a practical skill set for anyone working with Indian tax compliance.

A dedicated section covers payroll management. Users learn to set up employee master records, process salary slips, and compute statutory deductions such as PF and TDS within Tally. Shortcut keys are taught throughout, helping beginners operate the software faster without memorising every menu path.

By the end, a learner can create a company in Tally, record sales and purchase transactions, generate GST-compliant reports, and run a basic payroll. The course does not cover advanced cost centre analysis, multi-currency setups, or Tally.ERP 9’s deeper inventory valuation methods. Those topics are better suited to the intermediate Tally course also listed on 10courses.

This course is free to audit on Udemy, carries a 4.1 rating from 268 reviews, and offers a completion certificate. It is delivered in English and is self-paced, so a dedicated learner can finish the modules in under a month with regular study.

Free options include the Complete Accounting & Taxation Course 2026 on Udemy, which also covers GST and payroll, and the Tally Prime & ERP 9 in Hindi course, which teaches the same concepts in Hindi for regional learners.
