Release 6.0

Contact Details for e-Payment

Using the e-Payments facility in TallyPrime, you can send payment instructions to the bank quickly and securely, without visiting the bank.

If you are using TallyPrime Release 5.1 or earlier, then watch How to Make e-Payments to Your Beneficiaries Through TallyPrime.

To use e-Payment as a mode of payment you need to configure your bank ledger. You can record a payment voucher and select e-Payment as the mode of payment and later export the payment instructions which can be loaded to the bank portal. In TallyPrime, you can also reconcile your e-Payment transaction.

The process of e-Payment reconciliation is also much simpler. Bank portals provide you with an intermediate/payment reverse file that records the status of your e-payments upload. You only have to import the intermediate/payment reverse file to TallyPrime, and TallyPrime will update the reconciliation status for you. You can view and track the status of your e-payment transactions using the e-Payments report and identify any incomplete information or mismatch in beneficiary details.

Apart from cheques, the most used payment mode is e-Payment in the business. e-Payment is a method of paying online or through an electronic medium. The most popular methods of e-Payment are Credit Cards, Debit Cards, UPI payments and so on. Online payment or e-Payment became popular as it improves the relationship with the suppliers due to the transparency, security and fast transfer of money. It also reduces the risk as Electronic payments are much more efficient and safe due to the multiple ways of securing your payments.

All the banking information and transactions that you maintain in TallyPrime are safe. However, you can provide additional security by authorising only certain users for e-Payments reports and operations. You can also create users with different levels of rights.

 

Configure Bank Ledger for e-Payments

To make the payments to the parties through online payment or e-Payment you need to enable e-Payments in your bank ledger. Once enabled you can configure the e-Payments option depending on the bank through which you have enabled the e-Payments facility. You can configure your Bank ledger for e-payments only for selected banks.
