← All guidesPDF bills to Tally: your options
Updated 21 October 2026
More and more bills arrive as PDFs: from billing software, e-commerce, insurance companies and government portals. Here are the ways to get them into TallyPrime.
1. Type them
Open the PDF and enter a purchase voucher by hand. Fine for a few bills; slow and error-prone for many.
2. Import a file
TallyPrime can import vouchers from an XML file (Import > Transactions). Someone, or some software, has to create that file from the PDFs first, with ledger names that exist in your company.
3. Read them automatically
Software can read the PDF's text (or the image, for a scanned PDF), pick out the supplier GSTIN, invoice number, date and taxes, and create the voucher. Check that the tool also handles:
- PDFs that hold several invoices, like a vehicle purchase with its insurance policy and RTO receipt.
- Locked government PDFs such as e-challans.
- Cess on vehicles, and receipts with no GST.
- Each bill going to Tally only once.
Soni Vault reads PDFs without any AI where the text is clear, splits multi-invoice PDFs into one bill each, handles e-challans and cess, and sends approved bills to TallyPrime once, either directly or as an import file.
