TallyPrime Upgrade Price 2026: ERP 9 to TallyPrime & Silver to Gold
Upgrading from Tally.ERP 9 to TallyPrime is generally free if you have a valid licence with active TSS; you install TallyPrime and your data and licence carry over. Upgrading from TallyPrime Silver to Gold costs about Rs 45,000 plus GST, crediting your existing licence so you pay only the difference. Both keep your data intact.
If you already own Tally, upgrading is usually far cheaper than buying new, and many users overpay because they do not realise this. As a Tally 3 Star Certified Partner in Purnea, Bihar, we handle upgrades regularly, so here is exactly what the two main upgrades cost in 2026, ERP 9 to TallyPrime, and Silver to Gold, and how the process works.
Upgrade prices at a glance
| Upgrade | Cost (approx.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tally.ERP 9 to TallyPrime | Free with active TSS | Renew TSS first if lapsed |
| Silver to Gold | Rs 45,000 + GST | Pay only the difference |
Tally.ERP 9 to TallyPrime: usually free
If you hold a valid Tally.ERP 9 licence with active TSS, you can move to TallyPrime at no extra licence cost. You simply install TallyPrime and continue with your existing licence, and your data migrates forward keeping masters, transactions and balances intact. If your TSS has lapsed, you renew it first (see renewal charges) and then upgrade. There is rarely a good reason to stay on the older ERP 9 once you understand the upgrade is essentially free.
Silver to Gold: pay only the difference
When a single-user business grows into a team, the Silver to Gold upgrade costs about Rs 45,000 plus GST. This credits your existing Silver licence so you pay the difference rather than the full Gold price. It is the correct path when two or more people need Tally at once. See Silver vs Gold to confirm you need the multi-user edition before upgrading.
Why upgrade from ERP 9 to TallyPrime?
TallyPrime is the current generation and is faster and easier to use than ERP 9, with the Go To feature, a cleaner interface, simpler multi-tasking, better reports, and the latest connected GST and e-invoicing. Staying on ERP 9 means gradually falling behind on features and statutory updates. Since the upgrade is generally free with active TSS, moving up is an easy decision that keeps your business current.
The upgrade process
- Back up your data as a standard precaution.
- Confirm your licence and TSS status; renew TSS if it has lapsed.
- Install TallyPrime alongside or in place of ERP 9.
- Migrate your data; TallyPrime brings your company data forward.
- Verify balances and start working on the current version.
Done correctly, the upgrade is smooth and your history is preserved. See data management for backup and migration detail.
A worked example
A business in Purnea on Tally.ERP 9 with active TSS wants the latest features. We confirm their TSS is active, back up the data, install TallyPrime, and migrate the company forward, all at no licence cost. They now run the current TallyPrime with the same data and licence. Separately, a Silver user adding a second staff member upgrades to Gold for about Rs 45,000 plus GST. In both cases, upgrading was far cheaper than buying new.

No. Upgrading from Tally.ERP 9 to TallyPrime migrates your data forward, keeping your masters, transactions and balances intact. It is a safe, well-established process. We recommend taking a backup first as standard practice, then the upgrade and data migration run smoothly.
Should I still be using Tally.ERP 9 in 2026?
