Common questions
When is GST registration mandatory for my business?
GST registration is generally required once your aggregate turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh for services), and immediately for inter-state supplies, e-commerce sellers and certain notified categories — regardless of turnover.
Which income tax regime should I choose?
It depends on the deductions you actually claim. The new regime offers lower slab rates with minimal deductions, while the old regime rewards investments and exemptions. We compare both for you each year before filing.
What documents do I need for a business loan or project report?
Typically the last 2–3 years of financials, GST and ITR returns, bank statements, KYC and a business plan. We prepare bank-ready CMA data and project reports so your application is complete on the first attempt.
How often should my books be reconciled?
Monthly. Reconciling bank statements, GSTR-2B and your purchase register every month prevents notices, protects your input tax credit and keeps year-end filing painless.
Do I need a tax audit?
A tax audit is required once turnover crosses the prescribed threshold (₹1 crore for business, ₹50 lakh for professionals, with higher limits where digital transactions dominate). We assess your applicability and handle the full audit.
How do you keep my financial data secure?
Your data is handled with strict confidentiality on secure, technology-driven systems, and you always deal directly with the principal CA — never a call centre.
