To all the users and admirers of Tally, ApniTally wishes them a very Happy New Year 2018, I pray that new year brings new opportunities and hopes to you and May God give you all the power to realize your goals in coming year.
The year 2017 was very eventful for the business community as well as the users of Tally. It was such an eventful year that I could not spare time to write on GST and other development going in Tally software for my beloved readers. We were so busy in helping out the users of Tally on the ground that we could not get enough of time to spare for our online admirers.
The coming of GST and the later development in its journey, many changes were seen by Indian businessmen as well as common people. The journey saw many ups and downs. Some times technical glitches led do increasing dead lines for filing and some times elections led to ease some norms. These changes are going to happen in the coming year too but now the journey of GST would be little bit more smoother. In the year ahead we are going to see the complete bill cycle of GST which would ease the life a little bit. Earlier in the month of December GSTR -2 was seen as the next big hurdle as well as big test for GST council but this test has been delayed. Now the bigger challenge is e-way bill which would be implemented from Feb 1, 2018. And in March we may see the full bill cycle of GST.
The dampening effect of demonetization has now ceased and the hustle and bustle of new tax regime is also settled down. Now India would see a growth trajectory in year 2018. We can hope to achieve around 8% growth and the GST would be the vehicle.
Tally has also traveled the GST journey with India. Helping users of Tally in GST journey was the biggest challenge for Tally which Tally managed successfully with introduction of new help channels for its users. In addition to existing help channels another channel of blog was introduced, which now has become defacto guiding resource not only for GST concepts but also for Tally users. Newer and newer functionalities were being added with Govt. clearing doubts about it’s procedures. The first mile stone of this journey was GSTR 3B. It was achieved very smoothly and Tally users filed their GSTR 3B with Tally. Now the latest release of Tally.ERP 9 rel 6.3.1 is handling GSTR1 as well as GSTR3B very efficiently. You can create JSON files with rel 6.3.1 of GSTR1 and GSTR 3B.
You can see why you need to download the latest rel here. The facility to file GSTR2 is also being provided which would be helpful in near future.
Overall year 2018 is going to be a very exciting year for all of us Tally lovers.
