How do I share my documents with you?
▾

How are your fees decided?
▾
Fees depend on the scope of the work, its complexity, and how frequently compliance is required. We discuss and confirm the fee with you before any work begins, so the cost is clear upfront.
Is my information kept confidential?
▾
Yes. All client information is treated as confidential and is used only for the work you have engaged us for. We do not share your details with third parties.
When is GST registration mandatory?
▾
When aggregate turnover crosses Rs 40 lakh for goods or Rs 20 lakh for services (lower limits apply in special category states), and in specified cases such as inter-state supply of goods or e-commerce sales, regardless of turnover.
I received a GST ASMT-10 or DRC-01 notice. What should I do?
▾
Reply within the time given in the notice, with a reconciliation and supporting documents (Form ASMT-11 for an ASMT-10 notice). A well-supported reply often closes the matter without a demand. Share the notice with us and we will review it and draft the reply.
What is the time limit to file an income tax appeal before CIT(A)?
▾
Generally 30 days from the date the assessment order or demand notice is served. Delay can be condoned if there is sufficient cause, but it is best to file within time.
Who needs a tax audit?
▾
Businesses and professionals whose turnover or gross receipts cross the limits prescribed under the Income-tax Act, and those opting out of presumptive taxation in specified cases. F and O traders often need to check this. We check applicability for you each year.
Should I register an LLP or a private limited company?
▾
It depends on your funding plans, number of owners and compliance budget. An LLP has lighter compliance, while a private limited company suits businesses that plan to raise equity funding. We explain both before you decide.
Do I need to deduct TDS when buying a flat or property?
▾
Yes, if the property (other than agricultural land) costs Rs 50 lakh or more. The buyer deducts TDS at 1 percent, deposits it with the challan-cum-statement (Form 141, earlier Form 26QB) and gives the seller a TDS certificate.
