Step 10: Update the financial year starting date of the company. In India, the financial year of the company starts on 1^st April and ends on 31^st March.

Step 11: Update the date from which accounting is allowed in Tally. Generally, this date and the starting date of the financial year are the same. But if the company has been formed on any other date of the year, that date will be mentioned.

For example: If books have been set to begin from 1-Dec 2019, the Tally will not allow the entries for the 1-April-2019 to 30-Nov-2019.

Step 12: If we want to use TallyVault, enter a password. It is a secure feature that encrypts data.

Note: we have to use this feature very carefully. If we forget the password, it may be impossible to recover the data. We can permanently lose the data.

Step 13: Repeat the password of TallyVault. Tally ERP matches this password with the previously entered password to ensure that the password we typed previously was the intended password, which means there is no typing error.

Here the bar indicates the password strength. Strong passwords indicate with a green bar. A strong password is better.
