Quick Answer
To continue using Tally Connected GST Services, sign in to the GST Portal, open My Profile → Manage API Access, and set Enable API Request to Yes. In Select Duration, GSP-ASP combination, choose:
| Field | Selection |
|---|---|
| GSP | Tally (India) Private Limited |
| ASP | Tally Solutions Private Limited |
| Duration | 6 hrs or 30 days, according to the session length you need |
Complete the selection and check that it appears in the GSP/ASP Access History Table. Tally’s customer instruction recommends 30 days for continued use and asks customers to complete the update by 30 September 2026. Tally’s published guide also says existing Connected GST users need to complete the selection. tallysolutions.com
The key distinction: Adding a GSP–ASP combination to the table does not immediately give it an active API session. According to the GST Portal text shown in your example, an API session is created only after you provide a valid OTP. That session then remains active for the selected 6 hours or 30 days. When it expires, a new session requires another OTP.
Why Is This Selection Required?
TallyPrime uses connected access for supported GST tasks, including functions such as GSTIN validation, GSTR-1 upload, return downloads, and reconciliation. The GST Portal’s Manage API Access page lets a taxpayer specify which GSP–ASP combinations may request that access for a GSTIN.
The portal message you supplied states that, effective 30 August 2026, only combinations listed in the GSP/ASP Access History Table are permitted API access for the relevant GSTIN, UIN, or Temporary ID. This makes the history-table entry an important part of the setup even if TallyPrime connected features worked previously.
Tally has asked its customers to complete the Tally selection by 30 September 2026 to avoid disruption to Connected GST Services. That is a deadline for this Tally access update; it is not a GST return filing deadline. tallysolutions.com
Understand the Two Parts of API Access
The GST Portal screen combines a permission choice with a session duration choice. They serve different purposes.
| Setting or action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enable API Request: Yes | Allows API requests for the GSTIN while this setting is enabled. |
| Add the Tally GSP–ASP combination | Places the selected combination in the access history table, allowing that combination to seek access. |
| Provide a valid OTP | Allows the GSP–ASP combination to create an active authorisation session. |
| Select 6 hrs or 30 days | Sets how long the resulting API session can remain active. |
| Session expires | A new session must be initiated with another OTP. |
The presence of Tally in the GSP/ASP Access History Table therefore shows that the combination has been selected. It does not, by itself, prove that an OTP has been supplied or that an active session currently exists.
6 Hours or 30 Days: Which Duration Should You Choose?
The GST Portal screen you shared offers two duration choices: 6 hrs and 30 days. The shorter option was already available for Tally use; the 30-day option provides a longer active session.
| Duration | Practical use | What happens afterward |
|---|---|---|
| 6 hrs | A short period of connected GST activity. | The session expires after six hours; another session requires a new OTP. |
| 30 days | Ongoing Connected GST use when you want fewer session renewals. | The session expires after 30 days; another session requires a new OTP. |
For the update described in Tally’s customer notice, select 30 days if you want the longer active session Tally recommends. The choice does not create permanent access: the portal states that a fresh OTP is required to initiate another session after the chosen duration expires. Tally’s Connected GST setup documentation also describes the 30-day option for regular GST activity. help.tallysolutions.com
The screen shows a Duration field near Enable API Request and another Duration field within Select Duration, GSP-ASP combination. Read the label and explanatory text beside each field as you work. When adding Tally to the access history table, pay particular attention to the duration selected with the GSP–ASP combination.
Step-by-Step: Configure Tally on the GST Portal
Step 1: Open the GST Portal
Visit https://www.gst.gov.in/ directly and sign in to the GST registration you want to update. Check that you are working under the intended GSTIN before changing access settings.
Step 2: Open Manage API Access
Go to My Profile → Manage API Access. Tally’s Connected GST instructions identify this profile route for configuring API access. help.tallysolutions.com
Step 3: Enable API requests
Set Enable API Request to Yes. The portal describes this switch as enabling or disabling API access for the GSTIN, UIN, or Temporary ID.
Step 4: Select Tally’s GSP and ASP
In Select Duration, GSP-ASP combination (Beta), make the following selections:
- GSP: Tally (India) Private Limited
- ASP: Tally Solutions Private Limited
- Duration: 30 days for the longer session requested in Tally’s notice, or 6 hrs if you deliberately need a short session
The GSP and ASP names belong in different fields. Check both before proceeding. Tally’s guide confirms the specified Tally pairing. tallysolutions.com
Step 5: Select the combination and check the table
Click Select and complete any confirmation the portal displays. Check the GSP/ASP Access History Table afterward. The portal text says your chosen combination will appear there.
If the table still says “No records found,” the selection has not been shown as added. Review the fields and complete the portal action before assuming the update is finished.
Step 6: Start a connected session when needed
When you use a supported connected function in TallyPrime, follow the OTP process presented for that connection. The GST Portal explicitly states that selecting the combination alone does not grant an active API session: a valid OTP is required before the GSP–ASP combination can create one.
Step 7: Repeat for other applicable GSTINs
If you use Tally Connected GST Services under several GST registrations, check and configure the selection for each applicable GSTIN. Record which registrations you have completed.
What Does the GSP/ASP Access History Table Show?
The table records the combinations you have selected for the GSTIN. According to the portal text you supplied:
- You can add a maximum of five combinations to the table.
- A listed combination is permitted to request API access, subject to the portal’s OTP-based session process.
- Adding a combination does not mean an active authorisation session already exists.
- Deleting a combination stops it from sending new OTP requests, but a session created earlier can continue until its current duration expires.
For the Tally update, verify that the table lists the correct Tally GSP and ASP, rather than checking only whether Enable API Request says Yes.
How to Review or Stop Access
The same Manage API Access page provides controls for reviewing sessions and tokens. The effects are different, so choose the action that matches what you need.
| Portal control | Effect described on the portal |
|---|---|
| View logs | Shows AUTH sessions created by a GSP. |
| View revoked token | Shows revoked tokens. |
| Enable API Request: No | Prevents the GSP from creating new user sessions; sessions already created can continue until they expire. |
| Delete a GSP–ASP combination | Prevents that combination from sending new OTP requests; existing sessions can continue until they expire. |
| Revoke active token | Terminates an active AUTH session immediately. |
If you need to stop an existing session immediately, use “Revoke active token.” Turning API requests off or deleting the combination alone does not immediately end an already active session, according to the portal’s notes.
What to Do If TallyPrime Still Cannot Connect
Tally is not in the access history table
Return to Select Duration, GSP-ASP combination, check the exact GSP and ASP selections, complete Select and the confirmation, and review the table again.
Tally is in the table, but no active connection works
A table entry does not create an active session by itself. Check whether the required OTP authorisation was completed, whether the session has expired, and whether you are using the correct GSTIN in TallyPrime.
A connection worked earlier but now requests another OTP
Check whether the selected 6-hour or 30-day session has expired. The portal states that a new session requires another OTP after expiry.
You changed the duration, but TallyPrime still behaves as before
Begin a new TallyPrime session and reconnect. Tally’s documentation says changes to the API access duration apply to new TallyPrime sessions. help.tallysolutions.com
The requested GSP or ASP is missing
Check that you are using the correct section and GSTIN. Do not substitute a similarly named entry without confirmation. Ask your Tally Partner or TallyCare for assistance if the specified pairing is unavailable.
One GSTIN works but another does not
Check Manage API Access under the affected GSTIN. Confirm its Tally combination, API setting, OTP-backed session, and matching registration details in TallyPrime. Tally’s GST troubleshooting guidance includes API access and GSTIN checks for connected-service errors. help.tallysolutions.com
Frequently Asked Questions
I already use Tally Connected GST Services. Must I add the combination?
Yes. Tally’s GSP selection guide says existing Connected GST users should complete this process. The GST Portal message states that, from 30 August 2026, API access is permitted only for selected combinations listed in the access history table. tallysolutions.com
Should I select 6 hrs or 30 days?
For the longer active session described in Tally’s notice, select 30 days. The portal also offers 6 hrs if you need a shorter session. Either session ends after its chosen duration and requires a new OTP to start another session.
Does selecting 30 days mean I will never need another OTP?
No. The portal states that, after the selected duration expires, you must initiate a new session by providing another OTP.
Does adding Tally to the history table immediately give Tally API access?
No. The portal states that a valid OTP is required for the selected GSP–ASP combination to create an active AUTH session.
Does switching “Enable API Request” to “No” end an existing session?
No. According to the portal note, it stops the creation of new user sessions, while already created sessions remain active until their current duration expires. Use Revoke active token if an active session must end immediately.
Does deleting the GSP–ASP combination end an existing session?
No. It prevents new OTP requests from that combination, but an existing session can continue until it expires. The portal provides Revoke active token for immediate termination.
How many GSP–ASP combinations can I add?
The portal screen you shared says the GSP/ASP Access History Table can contain a maximum of five combinations.
Is 30 September 2026 a GST return filing deadline?
No. It is Tally’s stated deadline for completing this authorisation update to maintain its Connected GST Services. Continue to check GST return filing dates separately. tallysolutions.com
