In TallyPrime, a group is a collection of ledger accounts that are classified based on the nature of their transactions. Groups are used to classify and report similar transactions in a uniform manner. For example, you can create a group called “Direct Expenses” and add all the ledger accounts that relate to direct expenses such as raw material, wages, and transport to this group. This will help you to view and analyze all the direct expenses together and make informed business decisions.

You can create groups in TallyPrime by following these steps:

1. Go to the Gateway of TallyPrime and select “Accounting Info” from the main menu.
2. In the Accounting Info menu, select “Groups” from the sub-menu.
3. The Group Creation screen will be displayed.
4. Enter the name of the group and select the appropriate group type from the list.
5. Press Enter to save the group.

You can also create sub-groups within a group by selecting the group as the parent group while creating the sub-group.
