Moving from Tally payroll? Bring your data with you.

Your employees, leave balances and past payroll come across from Tally payroll. You check every row before it is saved, and you can undo the import within 7 days.

What to download from Tally payroll

Download these reports to Excel or CSV. Menu names change between versions, so ask your admin if you can’t find one.

  1. Tally Prime keeps payroll inside your books, so this is a file import.
  2. Export the employee list to Excel, with employees who have left.
  3. Export the pay sheet for each past month (or a range of months) to Excel. Pay heads become lines on each payslip.
  4. If you have no export for holidays or leave balances, add them with a simple sheet, or set them up here afterwards.

When you upload, we match the columns for you. If a column name is different, you can pick the right match yourself before anything is saved.

What comes with you

  • Employees, including people who have left
  • Departments, designations, locations and reporting managers
  • Leave balances as of your go-live date
  • Holiday lists
  • Past payroll, month by month, so payslips and Form 16 history stay
  • Attendance history and salary revisions, if you want them
  • Employee documents, from a ZIP file

Four simple steps

  1. Download your data

    Export your reports from the old software, or connect it where we support a direct connection.

  2. Upload and check

    We match the columns for you and show every problem row before anything is saved.

  3. Import

    One click brings it all in. Not right? Undo it and try again.

  4. Run side by side

    Run one month of payroll in both if you like, and compare before you switch off the old one.

Questions people ask

Will I lose my old Tally payroll data?

No. Nothing in your old software is changed. You download reports from it, and we read those files. You can keep using it until you are ready to switch.

How long does the move take?

Most companies upload and check their data in a day. Many then run one month of payroll in both places before switching off the old one.

What if the import goes wrong?

You see every problem row before anything is saved. After the import, you can undo it within 7 days and try again.

Do I need technical help?

No. If you can download a report to Excel, you can do this. Our team can also go through it with you on a call.

Moving from something else?

Tally payroll is a trademark of its owner. We are not connected with or endorsed by them. This page only explains how to move your own data into Vatsin HRMS.
