Two of the most helpful features added in the most recent version of Tally Prime 2.1 are the Edit log and Digital signature. The most recent version of Tally Prime comes in two flavours: one with a required Edit log and one with an enable/disable Edit log option.
Businesses with B2B clients and a turnover of $20 million or more are required by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to utilise accounting software that includes a detailed edit record of all user activity.
Tally released two variants of Tally Prime 2.1—Tally Prime 2.1 Edit Log and Tally prime 2.1—to meet this legal requirement.
One of the best benefits of utilising Tally is that you don’t have to pay for any new features that are added.
As a result, as long as you continue to use Tally after purchasing Tally Prime and activating your Tally Software Service (TSS) Subscription, you are eligible to upgrade Tally.
One of the most anticipated Tally features, the digital signature, was added in Tally Prime 2.1. Previously, a plug-and-play TDL or addon was required to install both the Edit log and the digital signature in Tally.
To maintain a user log or employ a digital signature, however, you are no longer need to use a TDL or plug-and-play addon as of this version.
