Every school in India has one thing in common: their accountant loves Tally. And for good reason. Tally ERP is the gold standard for Indian accounting — it handles GST, TDS, balance sheets, and audit reports better than any school ERP ever will.
The Integration vs Replacement Debate
Many school management systems try to replace Tally with built-in accounting modules. This is almost always a mistake. Here's why:
Your accountant already knows Tally. Retraining them on a new system means months of friction and errors.
Tally is audit-ready. CA auditors expect Tally data. They know how to verify it. A custom accounting module creates audit headaches.
Tally handles complexity. Fund-based accounting, trust accounting, donor-restricted funds — Tally handles all of this natively.
How Two-Way Integration Works
EduBold takes the integration approach: keep using Tally for what it's best at, and let EduBold handle what Tally can't — student management, admissions, and academics.
Here's how it works: 1. Parents pay fees through EduBold (online or at the counter) 2. EduBold generates the receipt and updates the student ledger 3. The fee collection voucher is automatically pushed to Tally 4. Your accountant reconciles in Tally as usual
No double entry. No data discrepancies. No retraining.
The Result: 100% Fee Reconciliation
Schools using EduBold's Tally integration achieve 100% fee reconciliation accuracy. Every rupee collected through EduBold appears in Tally automatically.
This is the best of both worlds: modern fee collection for parents, familiar accounting for your finance team.
