Upload your bank statements and automatically import transactions into Tally/Tally Prime: AI-powered parsing, instant summaries and polished charts, accurate totals, and clean vouchers for faster reconciliation and easier tax filing.
Why this feature matters
Most SMBs still copy numbers from bank PDFs into Tally. It's slow, error-prone, and steals time from real work. Loupe Factory's new Tally Bank Import turns that drudgery into a 10-minute workflow with a fine-tuned AI model that understands bank statements out of the box.
Time & cost impact (for a 50-employee company, 5 bank accounts)
Assumptions (conservative):
- ~800 transactions/month across 5 accounts (≈160/account).
- Manual entry + reconciliation ≈ 2 minutes/transaction + 2 hours/month housekeeping.
- Loupe Factory import: ~2-5 minutes/account after first-time setup (mapping), including review & push.
Cost Savings at a glance
| Process | Monthly Time | Annual Time | Estimated Cost (at $35/hr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual entry + reconciliation (today) | ~30 hrs | ~360 hrs/year | $12,600/year |
| With Loupe Factory Tally Import | ~20-25 mins | ~4-5 hrs/year | $140-$175/year |
| Net Savings | ~29.5 hrs/month | ~354-355 hrs/year | ~$12,390-$12,425/year |
Result: ~90-95% time saved and $11k-$12k/year in labor savings at a $35/hr fully-loaded cost. Adjust the local currency rate to your geography.
How long does one import take?
- First-time setup: 20-40 minutes total to map frequent counterparties to ledgers.
- After setup: 2-5 minutes per account to upload, review AI summary, and push to Tally.
- For 5 accounts: ~10-25 minutes end-to-end in a typical month.
How it works (quick start)
-
Install the Loupe Factory Tally Desktop Connector (one-time). You can find the installer in the Tally Bank Import page.
Run PowerShell as Administrator, then execute:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\tally-proxy-bootstrap.ps1
When prompted, allow the firewall exception. The proxy now listens onhttps://localhost:8443and forwards to Tally on port 9000. - Confirm Tally's HTTP server is enabled (F1 → Settings → Connectivity; default port 9000) and keep the destination Company selected.
- Open Workflows → Integrations → Tally Bank Import in Loupe Factory or jump to Tally Bank Import. The Tally host defaults to
https://localhost:8443so the browser talks through the secure proxy. - Enter bank & company names and upload unprotected PDF statements directly from your bank.
- We parse each statement with AI to extract dates, amounts, narrations, instrument numbers, and counterparties.
- Review the AI-generated summary, totals, closing balance, charts, and transaction table.
- Map counterparties to existing Tally ledgers or toggle “Create missing ledgers” to add new ones on the fly.
- Click “Push to Tally.” Credits become Receipt vouchers, debits become Payment vouchers, self-transfers become Contra vouchers. Banker's dates and instrument numbers flow through for reconciliation; duplicates are still skipped by Tally rules.
- That's it! Your Tally books update instantly and you keep hours back every month.
https://localhost:8443 as the Tally host before pushing vouchers.
