Question

How do I use Tally for a private micro finance bank?

Community Answer

Basically, a micro finance bank is all about receiving money for deposits and lending money as loans. You create all customers on Tally as a chart of accounts such that all transactions relating to every customer are recorded. You can generate an account statement for every customer. Tally will really help you to do this.
