How to Add and Print Bank Details on a Sales Invoice in TallyPrime: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Printing your company’s bank details on a sales invoice makes it easier for customers to make payments through NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, or direct bank transfer. TallyPrime allows you to save your bank account information in a Bank Ledger and display it automatically on printed, exported, emailed, or WhatsApp-shared sales invoices.

The process involves two main steps:

1. Creating or updating the company’s Bank Ledger.
2. Enabling the Show Bank Details option in the sales invoice print configuration.

TallyPrime’s current invoice configuration allows you to enable Show Bank Details and select the required Bank Ledger while printing or sharing an invoice.

Part 1: Create a Bank Ledger in TallyPrime

Before bank details can appear on an invoice, a proper Bank Ledger must exist in TallyPrime.

Step 1: Open the Ledger Creation Screen 🔗

1. Open TallyPrime.
2. Select your company.

3. From the Gateway of Tally, press:

   Alt+G – Go To

4. Type:

   Create Master

5. Select:

   Ledger

Alternatively, you may use:

Gateway of Tally → Create → Ledger

Step 2: Enter the Bank Ledger Name 🔗

In the Ledger Creation screen, enter a suitable name such as:

• HDFC Bank Current Account
• ICICI Bank Account
• State Bank of India
• Axis Bank Current Account
• Company Bank Account

Using the bank name along with the account type makes it easier to identify the correct account when several bank accounts exist.

Example:

Name: HDFC Bank – Current Account

Step 3: Select the Ledger Group 🔗

In the Under field, select:

Bank Accounts

Do not place the ledger under:

• Cash-in-Hand
• Current Assets
• Sundry Debtors
• Sundry Creditors

The ledger must normally be grouped under Bank Accounts so that TallyPrime recognises it as a bank ledger.

Step 4: Enter Bank Account Details 🔗

Depending on your TallyPrime release and selected bank, the available fields may include:

• Account Holder Name
• Bank Account Number
• Bank Name
• Branch Name
• IFSC Code
• MICR Code
• SWIFT Code
• BSR Code
• Account Type
• UPI ID

Enter the information exactly as it appears in your bank records.

Example:

Account Holder Name: Bison Infosolutions
Bank Name: HDFC Bank
Account Number: 12345678901234
Account Type: Current Account
Branch: New Delhi Main Branch
IFSC Code: HDFC0001234
SWIFT Code: HDFCINBBXXX
UPI ID: bison@hdfcbank

Verify the account number and IFSC code carefully. Incorrect details printed on invoices may result in customer payments being delayed or transferred to the wrong account.

Step 5: Save the Bank Ledger 🔗

After completing the details, press:

Ctrl+A

The Bank Ledger will be saved.

Part 2: Alter an Existing Bank Ledger

When your bank ledger already exists but its account details are incomplete, follow these steps.

Step 1: Open the Alter Master Screen 🔗

1. Press Alt+G – Go To.

2. Type:

   Alter Master

3. Select:

   Ledger

4. Select the required Bank Ledger.

Step 2: Verify the Ledger Group 🔗

Confirm that the Under field is set to:

Bank Accounts

Step 3: Update the Bank Details 🔗

Enter or correct:

• Account holder’s name
• Account number
• IFSC code
• Branch name
• SWIFT code
• MICR code
• UPI ID
• Account type

Press Ctrl+A to save the changes.

Part 3: Create or Open a Sales Invoice

After creating the Bank Ledger, create a new sales invoice or open an existing one.

   F8 – Sales

Method 2: Open an Existing Sales Invoice 🔗

This is the main step that controls whether the bank information appears on the invoice.

Step 1: Open the Invoice Print Screen 🔗

While the sales invoice is open, press:

Ctrl+P – Print

Current

In some TallyPrime screens, you can also use:

Step 2: Open Print Configuration 🔗

On the Print screen, press:

Set it to:

Step 4: Select the Bank Ledger 🔗

TallyPrime uses the details stored in the selected Bank Ledger and includes them in the invoice while printing, exporting, emailing, or sharing it through WhatsApp.

Step 5: Save the Print Configuration 🔗

Press:

Ctrl+A

This saves the print configuration.

In most cases, TallyPrime remembers the configuration for subsequent invoices of the same type. However, you should verify the invoice preview before sending it to a customer.

On the Print screen, press:

Check whether the invoice displays:

The details normally appear near the bottom portion or footer of the invoice.

If all information is correct, proceed with printing or exporting.

Adding UPI or QR Code Payment Details

Newer TallyPrime configurations may allow payment links or QR codes to be printed on invoices.

To configure a payment request:

1. Open the sales invoice.
2. Press Ctrl+P.

TallyPrime’s printing help confirms that a sales invoice can be configured to include a payment link, QR code, or both.

A QR code is different from ordinary printed bank details. Bank details display account information, whereas a payment QR code may allow the customer to initiate payment by scanning the code.

Recommended Bank Details Format on an Invoice

A clear format may look like this:

Bank Details for Payment

Account Name: Bison Infosolutions
Bank Name: HDFC Bank
Account Number: 12345678901234
Account Type: Current Account
Branch: New Delhi Main Branch
IFSC Code: HDFC0001234
SWIFT Code: HDFCINBBXXX
UPI ID: bison@hdfcbank

Always confirm that the account holder’s name matches the bank account records.

Important Security Precautions

1. Confirm the bank account number before printing invoices.
2. Verify the IFSC code from an official bank document.
3. Restrict ledger alteration rights for normal Tally users.
4. Do not print sensitive banking credentials such as internet banking passwords, debit-card numbers, CVV, PIN, or OTP.
5. Print only the information customers require for transferring payment.
6. Review invoices after any change in the company’s bank account.
7. Inform customers formally when your bank account changes.
8. Be cautious of invoice manipulation and business email compromise.
9. Use a digitally signed PDF where appropriate.
10. Maintain a backup of the Tally company data before making major master changes.

Recommended User Rights

Only authorised users should be permitted to:

• Create Bank Ledgers
• Alter Bank Ledgers
• Change invoice print configurations

This helps prevent unauthorised replacement of genuine bank details with fraudulent account information.
