Print an RTGS or NEFT Form from Tally: Your Options Explained
Many businesses still fill bank RTGS and NEFT forms by hand after entering the payment in Tally. Here are the options for printing them from Tally instead.
Many businesses pay suppliers by RTGS or NEFT through a bank branch, which means filling in the bank's form. The payment is already entered in Tally, with the party, amount and bank, yet someone copies the same details onto paper by hand. Every manual copy is a chance to get an account number or IFSC wrong. This guide explains what TallyPrime records for electronic payments and your options for printing an RTGS or NEFT form from Tally.
What TallyPrime records for an RTGS or NEFT payment
Record the payment as a normal payment voucher (F5). When you select the bank ledger, the Bank Allocations screen opens:
- Set Transaction Type to e-Fund Transfer instead of the default Cheque.
- Enter the UTR or bank reference as the instrument number once you have it.
- Keep the beneficiary's bank details in the party ledger, so they are entered once and reused.
Recording the transaction type and reference correctly also makes month-end matching easier, as covered in our guide to bank reconciliation in TallyPrime.
Why the bank form is the tricky part
TallyPrime prints cheques from payment vouchers, but there is no single RTGS or NEFT form. Each bank has its own application form, with its own layout, boxes and declarations, and some branches change their format from time to time. A print format has to match your bank's form, field for field.
Your options
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Fill by hand from the Tally voucher | A few payments a month | Copying errors in account number and IFSC |
| Net banking or bank upload instead of a form | Businesses that can pay online | Approval workflows and limits set by your bank |
| Ready-made RTGS form add-on | Regular branch payments with a supported form | Check the bank formats and release it supports |
| Custom print format for your bank's form | A specific bank form used often | Re-check the layout whenever the bank changes its form |
AndurilTech lists an add-on named Print RTGS Form; read its product page for the formats it prints and the release it supports. For a summary of all payments made, there is also a Payment Register add-on.
Getting beneficiary details right
- Collect the beneficiary's name, account number and IFSC in writing, for example on a cancelled cheque or letterhead.
- Store them in the party ledger, not in a separate spreadsheet.
- Restrict who can change bank details in party ledgers. A changed account number is a classic fraud route; our guide to user rights in TallyPrime shows how to limit ledger alterations.
- Re-confirm by phone with a known contact if a supplier asks to change bank details.
When you need your bank's exact form
If your business pays from one bank's branch every week and that bank's form is not supported by an existing add-on, a custom print format is a small, well-defined project. Share a blank copy of the form through our Tally customization services page for a scoped quote.
Frequently asked questions
Can TallyPrime print an RTGS form?
TallyPrime records e-fund transfers and prints cheques, but bank RTGS and NEFT application forms differ by bank. Printing your bank's form usually needs an add-on or a custom print format.
How do I record an RTGS payment in TallyPrime?
Record a payment voucher, select the bank ledger, and in Bank Allocations set the transaction type to e-Fund Transfer. Enter the UTR or reference as the instrument number once you have it.
What details should be correct before printing a bank form?
The beneficiary name, account number and IFSC must exactly match the beneficiary's bank records. Keep these details in the party ledger and verify them once with the beneficiary.
