Migrate from Tally ERP to Lekhya

Move all your ledgers, parties, and vouchers from Tally ERP 9 or Tally Prime to Lekhya in 3 steps. No data loss. No manual re-entry.

What you need

Step 1. Export from Tally

Tally Prime

  1. Open your company in Tally Prime
  2. Go to Import & Export → Export
  3. Select Masters → Format: XML → Export all ledgers
  4. Repeat for Vouchers → select date range
  5. Save both XML files

Tally ERP 9

  1. Gateway of Tally → Data
  2. Select Export → XML format
  3. Choose All Masters + Vouchers
  4. Select fiscal year period
  5. Export and save the .xml file

Step 2. Upload to Lekhya

  1. Log in to Lekhya → Accounting → Tally Migration
  2. Click Upload XML and select your Tally export file
  3. Lekhya parses it and shows a preview: number of ledgers, vouchers found, and any errors
  4. Review the mapping (Tally groups → Lekhya account types)
  5. Click Start Import

Step 3. Verify in Lekhya

  1. Go to Reports → Trial Balance
  2. Compare with Tally's Trial Balance (same period)
  3. Totals should match to the last rupee
  4. Check Chart of Accounts — all your Tally ledgers should appear
  5. Check Parties — customers and vendors from Sundry Debtors/Creditors are imported

If totals don't match: Check the import log for failed vouchers. Common issues: vouchers with only one line (Tally occasionally creates unbalanced entries), unsupported voucher types. These are listed in the error report — you can fix them manually in Lekhya.
