An alternative path

Import bank statements to Tally without Connected Banking

TallyPrime's own Connected Banking feature links your bank account to Tally for automatic statements and reconciliation — but it has real prerequisites, and it doesn't cover every bank. If you're not set up for it, or your bank isn't on its list, converting the PDF you already have is the faster path.

What Connected Banking requires

It's a real feature, with real setup

Per Tally's own documentation, Connected Banking needs TallyPrime Release 6.0 or later, an active TSS (Tally Software Service) subscription, and enrolling your account with two-factor authentication and Tally.NET credentials. It currently supports four partner banks: Axis Bank, SBI, ICICI and Kotak Mahindra.

Notably absent: HDFC Bank — India's largest private bank isn't a Connected Banking partner at all, connected or not.

The alternative

Use the PDF your bank already sends you

bank2tally skips the enrollment entirely — no TallyPrime version requirement, no TSS subscription, no bank login inside Tally. Just the statement PDF you download from net banking or get emailed every month, for HDFC, SBI, ICICI, Axis or Kotak. Upload it, get Tally XML back.

Questions

Which banks does TallyPrime's Connected Banking support?

Four partner banks: Axis Bank, State Bank of India, ICICI Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. HDFC Bank is not currently a Connected Banking partner.

Do I need a TSS subscription to use bank2tally?

No. bank2tally is separate from Tally's own subscription and Connected Banking system — it just converts a PDF statement you already have into Tally-importable XML.

Is this an official Tally feature?

No. bank2tally is an independent, third-party converter — not affiliated with Tally Solutions. It produces a standard Tally XML import file, the same kind you'd get from any Tally-compatible conversion tool.
