Tally tools & customisations
Useful additions. Built around your work.
Alongside LekhaLift, explore focused TDL customisations and a local reporting app. We confirm your installed release, scope and quotation before setup.
Invoice address automation
TDL customisation
Automatically select a configured company address for invoice printing and export. Adapt the company and address settings to your business.
Maintain child records and a fee tracker. Review the fee dashboard, overdue alerts, pending fees and missing due dates. Stores operational records in the Tally company using UDFs.
Read Tally data for stock statements, ageing, GST and bank reconciliation reports, audit packs and Excel exports. This separate app reads accounting data; it does not post vouchers to Tally.
Customisations are scoped separately from the LekhaLift free pilot. Version compatibility and commercial terms are confirmed before installation.
Trust & security
Your books deserve a careful checkpoint.
Review first. Keep Tally local. Confirm permissions and data-handling terms during onboarding.
Approval before posting
Check the source invoice, ledger and GST before approving a voucher.
A traceable audit trail
Trace the invoice, edits, approval and Tally response. Inspect a real record during activation.
Only the access needed
Configure a dedicated user and verify the connector's effective permissions. Tally documents user roles and voucher permissions; role settings alone do not prove that an XML connector enforces them.
Keep port 9000 restricted
The connector uses Tally's local XML interface. Restrict port 9000 to the customer PC or approved local network, with no public port forwarding. Cloud traffic uses a separate connection.
Data handling, explained plainly
Claude processing
The installed LekhaLift app sends invoices directly from your PC to the Anthropic API, using your own Claude API account and key. You pay Anthropic for API usage separately. Anthropic says commercial API inputs and outputs are not used for model training by default, with feedback and explicit-permission exceptions. Provider training policy.
Provider retention
Anthropic's standard API retention is up to 30 days, with exceptions for features such as the Files API, agreements, safety enforcement, and law. This is not a zero-retention promise. Provider retention policy.
Local app and API key
Claude requests originate from your PC. Before activation, confirm how the app stores your API key, documents and logs, who can access them, and how to delete them. Direct API calls do not establish secure key storage or a zero-retention guarantee.
Your Tally data
The local company remains under your control. The connector needs only the client context required for the selected workflow; access, backup, and duplicate-posting checks are part of onboarding.
Website enquiries
When direct submission is available, the details you provide are saved in a private Cloudflare enquiry database for follow-up. An internal email alert shares only the enquiry reference with the team; it does not include your contact details. You can request deletion at [email protected]. If direct submission is unavailable, the form prepares an email draft for you to send. Only your theme preference is saved on this device. No invoices or API keys are collected by this form.
Privacy contact
Request product data-handling details or deletion assistance at [email protected].
Official documentation
Tally: XML and user access
Tally's connector documentation describes local XML requests on port 9000. Its security documentation explains user roles. LekhaLift compatibility is checked on the customer's installed release and test company.
A test-company check must establish access controls, approval, posting response, duplicate protection, and deletion. No independent security certification or production validation is claimed on this page.
Correct fields before edits, divided by fields checked.

Manual entry time compared with the full review and posting workflow.

Built on Claude
Claude reads. You decide.
Claude does the core document-understanding work: reading invoice photos and PDFs and preparing fields, ledger suggestions and GST treatment for review.

How your PC connects to Tally and Claude
Customer PC
Tally + connector
A local connector exchanges XML with Tally on restricted port 9000.

Customer PC
LekhaLift app
Calls Claude directly using the customer's own API key. Reviews and approvals happen in the app.

Document understanding
Your Claude API account
Reads the invoice and proposes accounting details. The customer pays API usage separately.
Tally's local XML port is separate from the app's direct connection to Anthropic. Keep port 9000 off the public internet.
For startup reviewers.
A clear product, a defined audience, and Claude at the centre of document understanding.

03
Work with support
Begin the free period with onboarding, training and help when you need it.
Before you start.
Clear answers about the pilot, your API account and installation.
What is free for six months?
The LekhaLift app, setup, training and full product support. You provide your own Tally licence and Claude API account. Claude API usage is paid separately by you. TDL customisations and OpenTally are scoped and quoted separately.
How does the Claude connection work?
The installed app on your PC calls the Anthropic API directly using your own API key. We help you configure the connection. Do not send your API key in a website enquiry or email.
Which Tally version do I need?
Share your release number and company setup. We check compatibility and permissions in a test company before activation. The child and fee management TDL targets TallyPrime / TallyPrime Edit Log 7.1; other releases need a setup check.
What support is included?
Connector installation, API connection setup, product training and troubleshooting are included in the LekhaLift pilot. Support is coordinated through [email protected]. We agree availability and the support schedule during onboarding.
What happens when the pilot ends?
Any paid continuation is agreed separately. There is no automatic paid conversion. Tell us if you want to stop, and discuss how to remove the connector, local documents, logs and API key settings safely.
Where do my documents and API key go?
The app sends the required document directly from your PC to Anthropic. Anthropic applies its own API policies. Local key storage, document retention and deletion are checked during onboarding; a direct API connection is not a zero-retention promise. Ask for the product's written data-handling details before using client records.
Tell us about your firm. We’ll discuss your Tally setup and the work you want to simplify. The app is free for six months; your own Claude API usage is charged separately.
