It checks the bill before your CA has to.

A wrong GSTIN or the wrong kind of tax costs you the input credit. Billbird tests every bill against the rules below, and holds anything doubtful for a human.

  1. 1GSTIN fails its check character

    For 36AAGFD2290Q1Z the last character must be Z, not 7. Most likely a typo on the supplier's bill template.

  2. 2Wrong kind of tax for an interstate supply

    Supplier is in Telangana (36), you're in Tamil Nadu (33). This should be IGST 18%: ₹3,133.80 on ₹17,410.00.

  3. 3A line doesn't add up

    25 × ₹298.00 is ₹7,450.00. The bill says ₹7,540.00, so the taxable value is over by ₹90.00.

Need more than 3,000 bills a month or a Tally on-premise setup? Talk to us on +91 98400 21876.

What owners and CAs ask us first

Anything else, send a WhatsApp to +91 98400 21876. A person in our Chennai office answers, Monday to Saturday.

Where do my bills and numbers live?

On servers in Mumbai, encrypted at rest and in transit. Your staff only see the businesses you add them to, and you can export or delete everything from Settings at any time. We never sell or share bill data.

Can it read handwritten bills?

Yes, if the writing is reasonably clear. Printed and thermal bills read at about 98% field accuracy; handwritten kachha bills sit nearer 90%, so Billbird marks every handwritten field for a quick look before anything posts.

Which Tally versions work?

Tally Prime 3.0 and later, and Tally ERP 9 Release 6.6 onwards. Starter gives you an XML file you import in two clicks; Growth and CA Practice post directly through the Billbird connector on the Tally machine.

What happens if it misreads something?

Nothing posts without a match. If a total doesn't equal the lines plus tax, or a GSTIN fails its check character, the entry waits in Review with the doubtful field circled. Reply on WhatsApp with the right figure and Billbird remembers that supplier's layout.

Does it work with Zoho Books?

Yes. Billbird connects to Zoho Books India, creates the bill against the right vendor, and attaches the original photo so your CA can see it.

Can my accountant use it too?

Add your CA as a reviewer for free on any plan. They get the month-end summary on the 1st and can approve or correct entries without touching your Tally.

What counts as one bill?

One tax invoice, however many pages or line items. A photo with three bills in it counts as three. Unused bills don't roll over, and you can change plans any time.

Is there a free trial?

14 days and 50 bills, no card needed. If you stay, the first month starts on day 15, and yearly plans are billed as ten months.

Forward your first bill tonight.

Fourteen days, fifty bills, no card. We set up your Tally or Zoho ledgers on a call in Tamil or English, usually the same day.

  • You get a WhatsApp from +91 98400 21876 within a minute.
  • Your CA can join free as a reviewer.
  • Cancel from WhatsApp by replying “stop”.
