Deepak,

Its advisable to maintain separate books of accounts in TALLY for all three branches. But if you want to maintain one company regarding accounting of all branches, then be sure that transactions are entered correctly in respective company/ branch and inter-branch accounts are re-conciled.

ya, it is advicable to open 3 separate cos and create a group company for these three. In the books of Unit 1, you shld create Unit 2 and Unit 3 ledgers under the group of Branches / Division and in Unit 2 company u shld create Unit I and Unit 3, in the same manner Unit 3 also. At any point of time in the consolidation company the Branches / Division head is always equal or Zero balance. Then you can know unit wise income and expenditure and liabilities and assets and inter-branch transactions easily. gud luck.

Yes it is advisable to open 3 separate companies for each branch.

If books are kept separately, Inter - branch reconciliation can be done easily.

You have to create\customize all type of voucher series for your data entry for your 3 branch, but I think, you can't get seprate trial balance branchwise. BTW JFY now Busy (another Accounting software similier to Tally) introduced Branch Concept in theire latest version Busy 3.9 with user friendly customization. So Tally should also applied this concept in single Company.
