What TallyPrime actually costs
Tally's pricing has two shapes, and the cheaper one depends entirely on how long you will use it. A Silver lifetime licence is ₹22,500 once; Silver rental is ₹9,000 a year at list. Rent for more than about two and a half years and you have paid for the licence you did not buy — but the rental keeps you current without a separate TSS renewal.
The cost people forget is TSS. The licence is perpetual, so the software keeps working, but without an active TSS subscription you stop receiving upgrades and the connected GST, banking and sync services switch off. Budget the annual ₹4,500 (Silver) or ₹13,500 (Gold) alongside the licence, not instead of it.
