Compliance

Indirect Tax / GST Advisory

GST is simultaneously a Governance question, a Regulatory requirement, and an ongoing Compliance obligation. Mismanaged, it generates interest, penalties, and assessments that compound over time.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is India's primary indirect tax — levied on the supply of goods and services and collected across the supply chain. It affects every transaction your business makes. Compliance is not annual — it is monthly. And Input Tax Credit (ITC), if not actively managed, is value quietly left on the table.

What We Deliver

GST Registration & Structuring

New registrations, multiple-state registrations, composition scheme evaluation, and GST number cancellation/reinstatement.

GST Monthly Returns

Accurate, timely preparation and filing of GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and QRMP scheme returns across all GSTINs in your structure.

Input Tax Credit (ITC) Optimisation

Active reconciliation of GSTR-2B vs purchase register to ensure maximum permissible ITC is claimed — and ineligible ITC is not. Protects against department notices.

GST Annual Return & Audit (GSTR-9 / GSTR-9C)

Annual reconciliation statement and certification by a practising CA. Mandatory above prescribed turnover.

GST Refund Claims

Preparation and filing of refund claims for exporters (zero-rated supplies), inverted duty structures, and excess cash ledger balances.

e-Invoice & e-Way Bill Compliance

Setup, integration advisory, and compliance management for mandatory e-invoicing and e-way bill generation.

GST Health Check

Diagnostic review of your GST positions, past returns, ITC eligibility, and block credit exposure — recommended before a GST audit or assessment.

GST Litigation & Representation

Drafting replies to department notices (DRC-01, show cause notices), appearing before the Adjudicating Authority, and filing appeals before the Appellate Authority / GST Tribunal.

Businesses with regular GST turnover obligations — any registered supplier.

Companies with large ITC balances worried about department scrutiny.
