In Tally ERP 9, a contra voucher is a type of accounting voucher used to record transactions that involve both cash and bank accounts. The term "contra" means "opposite," and this type of voucher is used to record transactions that involve the transfer of funds from one bank account to another or from a bank account to cash or vice versa.

For example, when you deposit cash into your bank account or withdraw money from your bank account, you would use a contra voucher. Similarly, when you transfer funds from one bank account to another, you would also use a contra voucher.

When you create a contra voucher in Tally ERP 9, you will need to provide the following information:

• Voucher Type: Select "Contra" from the list of voucher types.
• Date: Enter the date of the transaction.
• Bank/Cash Account: Select the bank or cash account from which the funds are being transferred.
• To Bank/Cash Account: Select the bank or cash account to which the funds are being transferred.
• Amount: Enter the amount of the transaction.
• Narration: Optionally, you can provide a brief description of the transaction.

Once you have entered all the required information, you can save the contra voucher. Tally ERP 9 will automatically update the relevant bank and cash accounts, and the contra voucher will be reflected in the bank reconciliation statement. Additionally, you can generate reports to analyze the transactions recorded in the contra voucher.
