A doctor can easily maintain their records in tally 9 . Tally 9 , the accounting software provides all facility to doctors for recording all transaction of their medical profession which are given step by step .

Aim of this tutorial

Ist step

Create company for medical profession :-

Tally → Company Info → Create → fill the form of creation of company → Accept the form

when you fill the form of company creation , you have to select maintain option as Account only because , a doctor does not purchase or sale of goods he is not businessman but he is service provider . So no need to select Account with inventory .

2nd Step

Creation of ledger accounts of medical profession :-

This step is relating to creation of ledger of medical profession . In medical profession , doctor does not sell the goods so first of all change the master group of Sale Account into Professional fees Account

for this

Gateway of tally → Account Info → Group → Alter → select Sale Account → write professional fees on the place of sale account and accept this master group

"Now , If doctor starts new profession , then there is no need to show opening balance in ledger creation but if doctor is old and convert all his accounts from manual to tally 9 , he has to write opening balance of his different assets and liabilities in ledger creation of tally 9 . "

Change Feature - F11

Maintain cost centre = yes

Change Configuration - F12

Use Advance entries in master under heading of Account Master = yes

Create Cost Center of each patient separately

Every cost centre must be for every patient .

Account Info → Cost Center → Create

Now create ledger

I am giving some examples :-

Gateway of tally → Account Info→ ledger → Create → Write following account under different groups

1. Capital of doctor Account ( under Capital Account )
2. Equipment Account ( Under fixed Assets Account
3. Furniture Account ( Under Fixed Assets Account )
4. Consultancy Fees of Doctor Account ( Under Professional Fees Account )
5. Operation Fees Account ( Under professional Fees Account )
6. Gifts from patients Account ( under Indirect income )
7. Inspection fees Account ( Under professional fees Account )
8. Income from nursing home ( Under indirect income )
9. Other professional income ( Under professional fees Account )
10. Expenses of medicine purchases ( Under indirect expenses )
11. Office Expense ( Rent , lighting , water , salary of employees , telephone expenses ( Under indirect expenses )
12. Depreciation on operation and exra- equipments and furniture and on other fixed assets ( Under indirect expenses )
13. Motor car expenses (under indirect expenses )
14. Stationery expenses (under indirect expenses )
15. Conveyance expenses (under indirect expenses )
16. Any other expense ( Under indirect expenses )

A doctor does not require to calculate gross profit because he is neither salesman nor sell any product . So all expense will go under indirect expenses , there is no need to send any expenses under direct expenses group .
