Takkada is Tally on mobile: an app for Indian distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers that puts their existing Tally on the phone and in a browser. It sits on top of the TallyPrime or Tally ERP 9 installation the business already runs and covers the work of the whole day from the phone. Raise a GST invoice with the e-invoice IRN and e-way bill, check 20+ reports and stock, book sales orders and delivery challans, give each salesman his own parties and record his visits, build the van load, send invoices and payment reminders on WhatsApp, and collect on a UPI link at 0% MDR. Every entry made in Takkada posts back into Tally, so there is one set of books. Tally stays the system of record. A distributor with 30 to 300 retail parties uses Takkada so that the books, the team and the customers are all reachable from the phone, not only from the office desktop.

What Is Takkada, in One Paragraph
What is Takkada: it is Tally on mobile, a layer that puts a distributor's existing Tally on the phone and in a browser. It adds mobile invoicing (including e-invoice and e-way bill), 20+ reports, stock and orders, a salesman module, dispatch loading, WhatsApp invoices and reminders, UPI payment collection at 0% MDR, and automatic matching of receipts back into Tally. The distributor keeps Tally as the system of record. Takkada is the part that lives on the phone, in the field, and in the retailer's WhatsApp.
The one-line version a distributor would repeat to another distributor: "Tally toh wahi hai, bas ab poora kaam phone se ho jaata hai: bill, report, stock, salesman, aur paisa bhi."
The Problem Takkada Was Built To Solve
An Indian distributor running ₹2 crore to ₹200 crore of turnover runs the whole business on Tally, and Tally lives on one desktop in the office. Every job that happens away from that desktop waits for it.
The salesman is in the field with no way to raise an invoice, so goods move on Monday and the bill reaches the retailer on Thursday. The owner wants to check a party's outstanding or a stock level at 9 PM, and the books are on a computer he left hours ago. The godown loads the van from a paper list. The accountant spends the last hour of the day typing purchase bills and matching bank receipts by hand.
Takkada puts all of that on the phone. The salesman invoices at the counter. The owner sees reports, stock and outstanding wherever he is. The van is loaded from a list built in the app. Purchase bills come in from a PDF, and receipts match themselves to the right invoice.
What Takkada Actually Does

| Role-based access | Owners, accountants and salesmen each see only what their role needs |
| Stock control | What to reorder today, from which supplier and by when, from your own sales and purchase orders |
| Manufacturing | Bills of materials and production runs posted to Tally as Manufacturing Journals, plus job work |
| Tally drafts | Optional vouchers keyed in Tally, checked on the phone and posted into the books |
| Desktop billing | A keyboard-first billing form in the computer browser, for staff who type all day |
Some of these are in the higher plans and some are add-ons. The pricing and plans guide lays out which is which.
Who Takkada Is For
Takkada is built for Indian offline distributors and wholesalers using Tally, typically 5 to 50 person businesses, often family-run. Within that, four kinds of users get the most out of it:
- Owners who want their reports, stock and outstanding on the phone
- Accountants and operators who need to create vouchers on mobile
- Distributors who bill in the field and need e-invoice, e-way bill and WhatsApp dispatch from the phone
- Team-based distributors who need role-based access for several salesmen
Honest scope on who it is not for. Takkada is not built for pure service businesses with no inventory, not built for companies that do not run on Tally, and not a replacement for Tally. Tally stays. Takkada is the layer on top.
How Takkada Sits On Top Of Tally
This is the part that separates Takkada from a standalone app a distributor would have to re-key data into. Tally remains the source of truth for every ledger, every party, and every voucher. Takkada reads from Tally and writes back to it through a two-way sync, so an invoice raised on the phone appears in Tally, and a receipt collected on UPI posts back as a Tally voucher.
The distributor does not maintain two sets of books. There is one set, in Tally, and Takkada keeps it current from the phone. For a business where the accountant has trusted Tally for fifteen years, that continuity is the point. Tally is the neighbour, not the enemy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Takkada in simple terms?
A: Takkada is Tally on mobile for Indian distributors. It lets a distributor raise invoices from the phone, see reports and stock, book orders, run a sales team, load the van, send invoices and reminders on WhatsApp, and collect payment on UPI at 0% MDR, with every entry going back into Tally. Tally stays as the books; Takkada is the mobile layer on top.
Q: Does Takkada replace Tally?
A: No. Takkada runs on top of an existing Tally installation and treats Tally as the system of record. Nothing is migrated off Tally. The distributor keeps the same company data, the same ledgers, and the same accountant workflow, with a phone and browser layer added on top.
Q: How does Takkada collect payments at 0% MDR?
A: With the Payment Collection add-on, the retailer pays through a UPI link that points to the distributor's own UPI handle, so the money moves directly on the UPI rail with no payment gateway taking a percentage in the middle. Takkada earns from a flat annual subscription, not from a cut of each transaction, which is why the 0% MDR on UPI holds with no transaction cap and no monthly fee.
Q: Can salesmen use Takkada in the field?
A: Yes. A salesman with the right role can raise a GST invoice at the counter from the phone, generate the e-invoice IRN and e-way bill, book an order, and record his visit with a geo-tagged check-in. The invoice can go to the retailer on WhatsApp the moment it is saved, so the retailer's credit clock starts on delivery day, not three days later.
Q: Who is behind Takkada?
A: Takkada is built by Pay Saathi Innovation LLP, registered in Guwahati, Assam, for Indian distributors and wholesalers running on Tally. It is sold through the Tally partner network as well as directly, and is designed around the real working day of distributors in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
Q: What does Takkada cost?
A: Takkada is priced as a flat annual per-customer subscription across four plans, from Momentum at ₹4,500 through Enterprise at ₹24,000 (GST extra), with a 3-year term billed once at 25% off. Full pricing is broken down in the Takkada pricing and plans guide.
