Tally On Cloud With License: How It Works, Pricing & Setup

Tally on Cloud with licence is a complete, bundled solution combining TallyPrime software, secure cloud hosting, and remote access in one monthly subscription of Rs 899-1,299. Work from anywhere on any device with 99.9% uptime and daily backups included.

What Is Tally On Cloud With Licence?

Tally on Cloud with licence is a hosted version of TallyPrime that combines your perpetual software licence with professional cloud infrastructure. Unlike bring-your-own-licence hosting, this is an all-in-one package: you pay one monthly fee and receive the software, hosting, security, backups, and support together.

Global IT Care, a Tally 3 Star Certified Partner in Purnea, Bihar (operating since 2010), offers this service to small and medium businesses across India who need reliable, accessible accounting software without managing servers.

How Does Tally On Cloud With Licence Differ From On-Premise?

On-premise Tally runs on your local computer or office server. You own the licence, control the hardware, and manage updates yourself. Tally on Cloud runs on a remote server you access via internet. The cloud provider manages infrastructure, security, and backups. You focus on your business.

Key differences:

• On-premise: one-time licence cost, no monthly fee, offline-capable, you manage hardware.
• Tally on Cloud: monthly subscription, always online, automatic backups, provider manages servers.

For a detailed comparison, see our guide on Tally Cloud vs On-Premise.

Tally On Cloud With Licence Pricing Breakdown

Pricing for Tally on Cloud with licence typically ranges from Rs 899 to Rs 1,299 per month (2026 indicative). This includes:

• TallyPrime Silver or Gold licence (perpetual).
• Cloud server hosting with 99.9% uptime SLA.
• Daily automated backups.
• Secure remote access (RDP).
• One year of Technical Support Service (TSS) included.

The exact price depends on which edition you choose and how many users need access.

TallyPrime Silver vs Gold On Cloud

TallyPrime comes in two editions, both available on Cloud:

Feature	Silver	Gold
Concurrent Users	1 user	Unlimited on LAN
Perpetual Licence Cost	Rs 22,500 + 18% GST	Rs 67,500 + 18% GST
Cloud Monthly (with licence)	~Rs 899-1,100/month	~Rs 1,100-1,299/month
TSS Renewal/Year	Rs 4,500 + GST	Rs 13,500 + GST
Best For	Solo accountants, freelancers	Teams, multi-branch offices

Both editions include GST, TDS, TCS, e-invoice, and e-way bill features built in. Choose Silver for single-user work; Gold if your team needs simultaneous access.

Monthly vs Bring-Your-Own-Licence Cloud Hosting

Two ways to use Tally on Cloud:

• With Licence (bundled): Rs 899-1,299/month. Licence included. Simpler billing, no separate software purchase.
• Bring-Your-Own-Licence: Rs 175-290/user/month for hosting only. You already own a perpetual licence. Pay only for server space and access.

Bring-your-own-licence is cheaper if you already own TallyPrime. If you are starting fresh, bundled cloud with licence is more convenient. Learn more in our Tally on Cloud pricing guide.

Setting up Tally on Cloud with licence involves these steps:

1. Contact a Tally 3 Star Certified Partner (like Global IT Care in Purnea).
2. Choose your edition: Silver (1 user) or Gold (unlimited team).
3. Provide business details and GST registration (if applicable).
4. Partner provisions your cloud server and installs TallyPrime.
5. You receive login credentials and RDP connection details.
6. Download RDP client for your device (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS).
7. Connect to your cloud Tally instance and start working.

The entire process typically takes 1-2 business days. Your partner handles all technical setup.

Remote Access: Working From Anywhere

Tally on Cloud with licence lets you access your accounting software from any location using a secure Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection. Whether you are in your office, home, branch, or travelling, you can log in and work.

Supported devices:

• Windows desktop or laptop.
• Mac (macOS).
• Linux.
• Android smartphone or tablet.
• iPhone or iPad (iOS).

All you need is an internet connection and the RDP client app (free from Microsoft, Apple, or open-source). For more on remote access, see how to access Tally remotely.

Mobile Access To Tally On Cloud

Tally on Cloud supports mobile work via RDP clients. Install Microsoft Remote Desktop (free) on your Android or iOS device, enter your cloud server credentials, and you have full Tally access on your phone or tablet.

This is ideal for:

• Approving invoices on the go.
• Checking account balances during travel.
• Responding to urgent accounting queries.
• Multi-branch managers reviewing reports from the field.

See our detailed guide on Tally on mobile access.

Security Features In Tally Cloud Hosting

Tally on Cloud with licence includes multiple security layers:

• Encrypted RDP: All remote connections use encryption. Your login credentials are never transmitted in plain text.
• Firewall: Cloud servers sit behind enterprise-grade firewalls.
• User authentication: Multi-user access is controlled. Each team member has their own login.
• Data isolation: Your company data is isolated on your server. No data mixing with other clients.
• Daily backups: Automatic backups ensure you never lose data, even if hardware fails.
• Disaster recovery: Reputable cloud providers maintain redundant infrastructure.

Your data is safer on a professional cloud than on an office PC without backups.

Uptime And Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Tally on Cloud hosting typically guarantees 99.9% uptime. This means your server is available for work almost all the time. In a year, 99.9% uptime allows for only about 43 minutes of planned or unplanned downtime.

Most quality hosting providers offer:

• 99.9% uptime SLA (standard).
• Automatic failover if a server fails.
• Redundant internet connections.
• 24/7 monitoring and support.

Always confirm the SLA in your contract before signing up.

Daily Backups And Data Recovery

Every Tally on Cloud subscription includes daily automated backups. Your accounting data is copied to secure storage every 24 hours. If your main server fails, your data can be restored within hours.

Backup benefits:

• No manual backup work required.
• Multiple backup copies stored in different locations.
• Quick recovery if data is accidentally deleted.
• Compliance with accounting regulations (data retention laws).

Ask your cloud provider about their backup retention policy (typically 30-90 days of backups kept).

Enabling GST In TallyPrime On Cloud

To use GST features in Tally on Cloud with licence, you must enable GST in your company settings. Once enabled, you can file GSTR-1, GSTR-2B, and GSTR-3B directly from Tally.

Steps to enable GST:

1. Open TallyPrime on your cloud instance.
2. Press F11 (Features).
3. Navigate to Statutory and Taxation > GST.
4. Set GST Applicable to Yes.
5. Enter your GST Registration Number (GSTIN).
6. Save and restart Tally.

Once enabled, GST is automatically calculated on all invoices. You can then generate GST reports and file returns directly.

GSTR-1 And GSTR-3B Filing From Tally Cloud

TallyPrime 6.x includes connected GST features. You can file GSTR-1 (outward supplies) and GSTR-3B (monthly return) directly from Tally without manual data entry.

To access GST reports in Tally:

• Press Alt+G (Gateway of Tally) > Display More Reports > GST Reports.
• Or press Alt+G directly and navigate to GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B.

GSTR-3B is due on the 20th of the next month for regular taxpayers. Filing from Tally ensures accuracy and saves time.

E-Invoicing And IRN Generation On Cloud

Tally on Cloud supports e-invoicing. When you enable e-invoicing and have an active TSS (Technical Support Service), Tally automatically generates an IRN (Invoice Reference Number) and QR code for each invoice.

The IRN is submitted to the IRP (Invoice Registration Portal) and flows into your GSTR-1 automatically. This eliminates duplicate data entry and reduces filing errors.

Requirements:

• TSS active (included in first year, renew annually).
• Valid GSTIN.
• Internet connection (always available on cloud).

Technical Support Service (TSS) On Cloud

Every TallyPrime licence includes one year of TSS free. TSS covers:

• Software updates and patches.
• Connected services (GST filing, e-invoice, e-way bill).
• Telephone and email support.
• Bug fixes and new feature releases.

After one year, renew TSS annually:

• Silver: Rs 4,500 + 18% GST per year.
• Gold: Rs 13,500 + 18% GST per year.

Early renewal (before expiry) adds one free month. Two-year renewal gets approximately 10% discount. Without TSS, Tally keeps working offline, but no updates or connected services.

What Happens If TSS Expires?

If you do not renew TSS, your Tally licence continues to work for offline accounting. However:

• No software updates or new features.
• Connected services (GST, e-invoice, e-way bill) stop working.
• No access to latest tax rules or compliance changes.
• No telephone support from Tally.

For a business filing GST returns or e-invoices, TSS renewal is essential. Renew before expiry to avoid service interruption.

Troubleshooting Common Tally Cloud Issues

If you encounter problems in Tally on Cloud, try these steps:

• Tally not responding: Press F1 (Help) > Troubleshooting > Repair. This rebuilds internal Tally files.
• Data corruption: Use Alt+Y (Data) > Repair to fix damaged data. Always back up first.
• Cannot connect to cloud: Check your internet connection and RDP credentials. Verify the server IP and port are correct.
• Slow performance: Check your internet speed (minimum 2 Mbps recommended). Restart your RDP session.
• License server error: Ensure the TallyPrime Server Monitor has the correct IP and port configured. Restart the Tally service on the cloud server.

For persistent issues, contact your Tally 3 Star Certified Partner.

Data Repair In TallyPrime

Tally includes built-in data repair tools to fix corruption or inconsistencies. To repair your data on cloud:

1. Open TallyPrime on your cloud instance.
2. Press Alt+Y (Data menu).
3. Select Repair.
4. Choose the company and repair type (Standard or Deep).
5. Let Tally scan and fix issues.
6. Restart Tally.

Always back up your data before running repairs. Cloud backups are automatic, but a local backup is extra insurance.

Scaling Users On Gold Edition Cloud

TallyPrime Gold on Cloud supports unlimited concurrent users on the same LAN (or cloud instance). If your team grows from 2 to 10 users, no additional licence cost is needed. All users access the same Tally company data simultaneously.

This makes Gold ideal for:

• Growing businesses expecting team expansion.
• Multi-branch offices with shared accounting.
• Outsourced accounting firms managing multiple clients.

Silver is locked to one user. If you need a second user, upgrade to Gold (one-time cost of Rs 45,000 + GST).

Upgrading From Silver To Gold On Cloud

If you start with Silver and later need multiple users, upgrade to Gold. The upgrade cost is Rs 45,000 + 18% GST (2026 indicative). You keep your existing data and settings; only the licence level changes.

Upgrade process:

1. Contact your Tally 3 Star Certified Partner.
2. Pay the upgrade fee.
3. Partner applies the Gold licence to your cloud instance.
4. Restart Tally.
5. All users can now access simultaneously.

No data loss or downtime. The upgrade is seamless.

Offline-First Architecture Of TallyPrime

TallyPrime is designed as offline-first software. Even on cloud, Tally prioritizes local responsiveness. If your internet connection drops briefly, your RDP session may disconnect, but Tally itself does not lose data.

This is different from purely cloud-based software (like web apps) that cannot work without internet. Tally on Cloud gives you the best of both worlds: cloud convenience plus offline reliability.

Comparing Tally On Cloud With Licence To Alternatives

Other accounting software options include web-based tools (Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online) and other ERP systems. Tally on Cloud with licence stands out because:

• 35 million+ users globally trust Tally for compliance and accuracy.
• Built-in GST, TDS, TCS, e-invoice, and e-way bill (no add-ons).
• Perpetual licence (you own the software, not a subscription).
• Offline-first architecture (works without internet).
• Homegrown by Tally Solutions, optimized for Indian tax rules.
• Lower monthly cost than many SaaS alternatives.

Cost Comparison: Cloud With Licence vs On-Premise

Let us compare total cost of ownership over 3 years:

Scenario	On-Premise Silver	Cloud With Licence Silver
Initial Licence	Rs 26,550 (incl. GST)	Rs 0 (included in cloud)
Year 1 TSS	Free (included)	Free (included)
Year 1 Cloud Hosting	Rs 0	Rs 10,800 (900/month)
Year 2-3 TSS	Rs 5,310 x 2 = Rs 10,620	Rs 5,310 x 2 = Rs 10,620
Year 2-3 Cloud Hosting	Rs 0	Rs 21,600 (900/month)
Hardware (PC/Server)	Rs 30,000-50,000	Rs 0
3-Year Total	Rs 67,170-87,170	Rs 43,020

Cloud with licence is cheaper over 3 years and eliminates hardware management. On-premise is better if you already own a server or prefer one-time costs.

Who Should Choose Tally On Cloud With Licence?

Tally on Cloud with licence is ideal for:

• Small businesses without IT infrastructure.
• Accountants and bookkeepers working remotely.
• Multi-branch companies needing centralized accounting.
• Startups wanting to avoid upfront hardware costs.
• Businesses prioritizing data security and automatic backups.
• Teams that need to scale users without buying new licences.
