What is Ledger?- A ledger is the actual account head to
identify your transactions and are used in all accounting vouchers. For
example, purchase, payments, sales, receipts, and others accounts heads
are ledger accounts. Without a ledger, you cannot record
any transaction.
Tally automatically creates two ledger accounts,
i.e., Profit & Loss account and Cash in Hand account. As per the
requirements of the organization, we can create the ledger accounts. In Tally,
we cannot create the same ledgers.
