Ask about thisFrequently Asked
GST, Tax, Audit & Compliance — answered
Any business with aggregate annual turnover above ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for services / special category states) must register for GST. Inter-state suppliers, e-commerce sellers and certain notified categories must register regardless of turnover.
PAN, Aadhaar, proof of business (rent agreement / electricity bill), bank details, photograph, digital signature (for companies/LLPs) and proof of constitution like partnership deed or incorporation certificate.
Late fee is ₹50 per day (₹20 for NIL returns) capped at ₹5,000 per return, plus 18% interest p.a. on tax payable. Continuous default can also lead to GSTIN suspension.
GSTR-1 is the monthly/quarterly return of outward supplies (sales). GSTR-3B is a summary return where you declare total sales, input credit and pay net tax. Both are mandatory.
ITR is mandatory if income exceeds the basic exemption limit (₹2.5L old regime / ₹3L new regime), or if you meet conditions like foreign assets, high-value transactions, or business turnover thresholds — even with zero tax.
Generally 31st July of the assessment year for non-audit cases, and 31st October for cases requiring audit. Late filing attracts ₹1,000 – ₹5,000 fee and loss of certain benefits.
Businesses with turnover above ₹1 crore (₹10 cr if cash transactions ≤5%) and professionals earning above ₹50 lakh need tax audit. Presumptive scheme taxpayers showing lower profits also fall under it.
LLP has lower compliance and no minimum capital, suited for service firms and professionals. Pvt. Ltd. allows easier fundraising, ESOPs and investor entry, but has higher ROC compliance and audit requirements.
Typically 7–12 working days with complete documents — name approval, DSC, DIN, MOA/AOA filing and certificate of incorporation via the SPICe+ form.
ITC is available only on goods/services used for business, with valid tax invoice, where the supplier has filed returns and the goods are received. Some items (motor vehicles, personal use, blocked credits) are restricted.
E-invoicing is mandatory for businesses with aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore in any FY since 2017-18. The invoice must be reported on the IRP portal to obtain an IRN before being shared with the buyer.
Tax Deducted at Source is deducted at the time of certain payments (salary, rent, contractor, professional fees, etc.). Businesses with audit applicability and most companies are required to deduct and deposit TDS monthly.
Udyam registration certifies your business as Micro, Small or Medium Enterprise. Benefits include priority lending, lower interest, government tender preference, delayed-payment protection and various subsidies.
Yes — under Income Tax Section 44AA and GST law, businesses must maintain proper records of sales, purchases, expenses, stock and bank transactions, typically for 6–8 years.
Through proper expense claims, depreciation, salaries to family members at arm's length, 80C/80D investments, presumptive taxation (44AD/44ADA), and structuring purchases to maximise ITC and deductions.
Late fees and interest accumulate, ITC is blocked, GSTIN can be suspended and finally cancelled, e-way bills get disabled, and the department may initiate assessment under Section 62.
Composition scheme (for turnover up to ₹1.5 cr) pays a fixed low rate (1–6%) but cannot claim ITC or make inter-state sales. Regular scheme allows full ITC, inter-state trade and e-invoicing but has higher compliance.
DPIIT-recognised startups can claim 3-year tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, exemption on angel tax, easier compliance and access to government funding schemes like Startup India Seed Fund.
Companies must file AOC-4 (financials) and MGT-7 (annual return); LLPs file Form 8 and Form 11. Directors must file DIR-3 KYC every year. Non-compliance leads to heavy daily penalties.
Yes. Most of our services — GST, ITR, ROC, audit support, advisory — are delivered digitally and we serve clients across India. For on-site audits we travel as required.
