03 / Opening it
Opening the CSV file.
Excel
- Data, then From Text/CSV, then pick the file. Dates are written 2026-01-05, which Excel reads the same in every country.
Google Sheets or Numbers
- File, then Import (Sheets) or Open (Numbers).
Accounting apps
- Most apps that take a bank CSV ask you to match columns once: Date, Description, Debit, Credit.
04 / The Tally XML file
Getting a Tally XML file.
TallyPrime’s and Tally.ERP 9’s exchange format. Each voucher has ledger lines that balance: a debit is written as a negative amount.
- TallyPrime: open the Day Book (or the bank ledger’s vouchers), press Alt+E (Export), set Format to XML (Data Interchange), then Export.
Have a bank statement PDF instead? The bank statement converter reads it in your browser too.
05 / Good to know
The details that matter.
- Export from TallyPrime as XML (Data Interchange). You pick the ledger: bank ledgers come first. Cancelled and optional vouchers are left out, and Tally’s UTF-16 files are read as they are.
- Columns: Date, Description, then Memo, Reference and Category when the file has them, then Debit and Credit, and Balance when the file had one. UTF-8 with a byte-order mark, so Excel shows accents and ₹ signs correctly.
06 / Questions
Straight answers.
Is this Tally XML to CSV converter free?
Yes, for 2 files a day with no account. A free account (just your email, no password) gives you 2 more, and paid plans have no daily limit. It runs in your browser, and nothing is stored.
Is my Tally XML file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and the CSV file is written by code running in this browser tab. Neither is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and convert a file.
Which columns will the CSV file have?
Date, Description, then Memo, Reference and Category when the Tally XML file has them, then Debit (money out) and Credit (money in), and Balance when the file had a running balance. Dates are real dates, oldest first.
Which ledger becomes the account?
The bank ledger: ledgers with bank details come first, then any ledger on the bank or cash side of payments and receipts. You can pick another in the panel.
