Setting up tally for personal accounting

I'm in the process of moving my personal accounting from GnuCash to Tally ERP. So, please help me to set up the following accounts under correct ledger groups and the ways to post the transactions.

1) Bank SB accounts

2) Bank FD accounts

3) Cash account

4) Credit card

5) Loans taken from friends ( money borrowed)

6) Loans given to friends (money lended)

7) Expenses related to my new house construction ( purchase of materials, labor etc)

8) Purchases

9) Telephone/Internet bill payments

10) Expenses related to Car ( would like to get categorized like Fuel, Maintenance, Taxes etc.)

11)  Insurance (Mediclaim, Life, Automobile)

Thanks Kaviraja.

Can you please explain more about "7) Expenses related to my new house construction ( purchase of materials, labor etc)" in capital group? I just want to get  all expenses related to the ongoing house construction like Labor, Raw material purchase etc. grouped so as at any point of time I can get the total expenses and transactions involed in house construction in report format.

You can Group This in Capital , since it is not Revenue Expenditure  , For Tax also you can not claim as business Expenses.

 

Please tell me the structure of ledgers to be created under 'Capital group' for labor,material purchase, transportation etc.
