Our guides help you make decisions about your books, your TallyPrime licence and your compliance. So here are the rules every guide follows: where facts must come from, who checks them, how we date them, how we use AI and how we fix mistakes in public.
The TallyoCloud editorial policy in one breath: every guide cites official sources first (government text for tax and law, Tally Solutions and Microsoft for product facts), labels claims as verified, reported or contested, is checked by a second person, shows a real "last updated" date, discloses any AI help and logs corrections on this page.
Every fact in a guide has a source, and sources have a ranking. If two sources disagree, the higher one wins and the guide says there was a disagreement. Every tax or legal claim must link the primary government text.
The Income-tax Act and Rules, the Companies Act and the Companies (Accounts) Rules, the CGST Act, rules and notifications plus state GST notifications, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and Rules, and CERT-In's directions. Where a notification is in the Gazette of India, the gazette copy is the final word; if we can only find a reproduction, the guide says so.
Tally Solutions' help centre and website for licensing, Tally Virtual Users, features, releases and licence prices. Microsoft Learn for Remote Desktop, the Windows App and Windows Server. Apple for Mac, iPhone and iPad hardware and software. For example, the fact that TallyPrime installs only on Microsoft Windows comes from Tally's own help centre, not from a competitor's blog.
News reports, articles by CA and law firms, vendor blogs and forums. We name them, date them and link them. They can flag something new or add context, but they are never the only source for a tax or legal point, or for a fact about Tally's licensing.
Before a guide goes live, each important claim gets one of three labels. The label decides what the guide is allowed to say. Pick one to see how it works.
The writer opened the Tier 1 or Tier 2 source, found the exact passage and linked it. The reviewer opened it again. Only verified claims can be stated plainly or used to give you a recommendation.
Windows App on iPhone, iPad and Android does not support printer redirection, so export a PDF and share it instead.
Source linked inline: Microsoft Learn, Windows App feature comparisonThe claim appears in a named secondary source, but we have not matched it to the official text. The guide names who reported it and when, says it is not yet confirmed, and does not change its advice because of it.
A news report says a GST return deadline has been extended, but the notification is not yet on the CBIC site. The guide says "reported by (publication) on (date); not yet notified" and keeps the original deadline until the notification appears.
Official sources, or qualified experts, read a rule differently. The guide sets out each reading with its source and says plainly that it is unresolved. If the disagreement is the main point of the guide, we hold the guide back until it is resolved.
Income-tax Rule 46(8) and daily backups on servers in India. In 2026 one CA firm's blog said the notified Rules contained no such clause, while Tally's own guide and several firms described the requirement. We held our guide back until we could read a primary source: the Income Tax Department's FAQ on Form No. 26 (the tax-audit report), which confirms the daily India-backup requirement and the server details auditors must report. Our pages now cite that FAQ.
Related rule: rule 3(5) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 already requires companies to back up electronic books daily on servers in India. Our link for it is an ICAI branch reproduction of the 2022 amendment, and we say so until we link the gazette copy."It works on an iPad" is a claim like any other. A claim about how something behaves can come from only two places: the vendor's own documentation, linked, or our own check on a server set up the same way as a customer's, with the device, operating system, app version, TallyPrime release and date written down.
| Kind of claim | Minimum source | How it appears in the guide |
|---|---|---|
| Tax, GST, company-law or data-protection rule | The Act, Rule or notification itself (Tier 1); professional review before any interpretation | Link to the government text and a "last reviewed" date |
| TallyPrime licensing, virtual users, features, licence prices | Tally Solutions' help centre or website | Link and date checked; prices marked as excluding GST |
| Which devices and apps can connect | Microsoft Learn or Apple documentation | Link, with known limits stated, not hidden |
| Printing, shortcut keys, step-by-step instructions | Vendor documentation, or our own check on a server set up like a customer's | Source link, or the device, OS, app version and date of our check |
| Speed, latency and bandwidth figures | A measurement with its method published | Method and date beside the number; otherwise attributed to its source or left out |
| Our own service: uptime, backups, support hours, prices | Our contracts and price list | One figure, the same on every page, matching the SLA and pricing page |
These rules matter most in device-specific guides, such as printing from Tally on Cloud and shortcut keys on Mac and iPad. If a check fails, or results differ between devices, the guide says so instead of reporting only the best result.
Nobody reviews their own work. Here is the path every guide takes from first idea to published page.
The writer gathers sources tier by tier and records each claim with its link and the date it was checked.
Plain language, answer first. Each important claim gets its label: verified, reported or contested.
A second person re-opens every source, re-runs the steps where needed and checks every price and figure.
The guide goes live with its date. It is checked again when Tally, Microsoft or the law changes.
A guide that explains what a tax, GST, company-law or licensing rule means for you must also be reviewed by a qualified professional, preferably a non-practising chartered accountant. Professional bodies limit how members may be named by a business (for chartered accountants, the ICAI's Code of Ethics), so we take advice on those rules before choosing or naming any reviewer. Until that review is done, a guide only reports what the official text says, links it and asks you to confirm with your own adviser.
Guides carry the byline "TallyoCloud Cloud Team" until a named writer, with written consent, has a real profile page. We never invent authors, photos or credentials. Google's guidance on helpful content asks readers to judge who created a page, how and why, and an invented byline would answer that question falsely. More about the company behind the guides is on our About page.
A fresh date should mean fresh facts. Google's people-first content checklist asks whether a site is "changing the date of pages to make them seem fresh". We don't.
Google's guidance on generative AI content (updated 1 October 2026) says AI output can contain errors and must be fact-checked by hand before publishing, down to titles, meta descriptions, structured data and image alt text. It also warns that generating many pages without adding value can breach its scaled-content spam policy. Our rules go a step further.
Disclosed per guide. A guide that used AI says so in its footer, for example "AI assistance: research summary and first draft; facts and steps checked by a person". In line with that rule: this policy page was drafted with AI assistance, and the Google, Tally and Microsoft pages it cites were checked against their live versions on 6 October 2026.
When a fact, figure, step or recommendation in a guide turns out to be wrong, we fix it, change the guide's date and add a line here: when, which guide, what changed and why. Newest entries go at the top. Typo and layout fixes are not logged.

Send the page address, the sentence you think is wrong and, if you have it, a link to the source. We check it against the primary source and reply with what we found. Other providers are welcome to correct what we say about them too.
TallyoCloud is an independent provider that hosts customers' licensed TallyPrime on Windows cloud servers. That is a commercial interest, so we manage it in the open.
We are not Tally Solutions and do not claim to be a Tally partner. TallyPrime is a trademark of Tally Solutions Pvt. Ltd., and we use the name only to describe the software we host.
We may use AI tools to find sources, summarise long documents and suggest a first draft, but never to decide what is true. A person checks every fact against its source and every step against the current TallyPrime release before publishing, as Google's guidance on AI content asks. Any guide where AI helped says so in its footer, next to the date it was last updated.
When a reader or our own re-check finds an error, we confirm it against the original source, fix the guide, change its 'last updated' date and add a line to the corrections log on this page saying what changed and why. Typo and layout fixes are not logged. If the error affected advice you acted on, contact us and we will explain exactly what changed.
No. No company pays to appear in, be ranked by or be left out of our guides. We sell Tally on Cloud hosting ourselves, so every comparison says so, dates each fact about other services and links its source, and states where an alternative, including Tally Solutions' own TallyPrime Cloud Access, is the better choice for some buyers.
No. Our guides explain what a rule says and link the official text, such as the Income-tax Rules, the Companies (Accounts) Rules or a CGST notification, so you can read it yourself. They do not replace advice from your chartered accountant or lawyer on your own facts. Where sources disagree about what a rule means, the guide says so instead of picking a side.
We re-check a guide when Tally Solutions ships a new TallyPrime release, when an income-tax, GST, company-law or data-protection rule changes, or when Microsoft changes the Windows App. The 'last updated' date moves only when the content actually changes, never just to look fresh, and every price figure carries the date it was checked against its source.
Email tallyocloud@gmail.com or message us on WhatsApp with the page address, the sentence you think is wrong and, if you have it, a link to the source. We check it against the primary source and reply with what we found. If you are right, the fix goes live with a new 'last updated' date and an entry in the corrections log on this page.
