01Income tax
Income-tax return (ITR) filing and tax planning
Help with filing your return, choosing between the old and new tax regimes and planning the year ahead — for salaried people, pensioners, freelancers, business owners and NRIs with Indian income.
What it involves
An income-tax return is your yearly statement of what you earned, the tax already paid on it — through TDS, advance tax or self-assessment tax — and any refund or balance due. Since 1 April 2026 income tax runs under the Income-tax Act, 2025, which calls the twelve months from April to March the tax year. The work is to choose the correct form, report every source of income, match the figures with your AIS and TIS, and e-verify the return once it is filed.
Who usually needs to file
- Salaried employees and pensioners — including many below the limit who want a TDS refund.
- Freelancers, consultants and tutors who bill clients directly.
- Shop owners, traders and small businesses, including those using presumptive taxation.
- Anyone with capital gains from shares, mutual funds, property or gold.
- Landlords and NRIs with rent, interest or other income in India.
Old regime or new regime — and planning ahead
The new regime is now the default, with lower slab rates but very few deductions. The old regime keeps deductions for things like provident fund, insurance, home-loan interest and house rent, but taxes income at higher rates. Which one leaves you better off depends on your own numbers, so the tax is worked out both ways before filing. Planning before the year ends — including advance tax, typically due by mid-June, mid-September, mid-December and mid-March — is far easier in December than in July.
A return that is filed but never verified is treated as not filed. Return due dates depend on your case and are sometimes extended — call to confirm the current date.
02GST
GST registration and returns
New GSTIN, amendments and cancellation, monthly or quarterly returns, the annual return and input tax credit reconciliation with GSTR-2B.
Registration, changes and cancellation
GST registration gives your business a 15-character GSTIN, lets you charge GST on your invoices and lets you claim credit for the GST you pay on purchases. It is generally compulsory once aggregate turnover crosses the threshold — commonly ₹40 lakh for many suppliers of goods and ₹20 lakh for services in Uttar Pradesh, depending on what you supply — and in some cases regardless of turnover, such as interstate supplies of goods. A registration needs updating when the address, partners, directors or bank account change, and should be formally cancelled, with a final return, when a business closes.
Who usually needs it
- Businesses nearing the turnover threshold for goods or services.
- Sellers on e-commerce marketplaces, who often need a GSTIN from the start.
- Service providers whose business clients want GST invoices, through voluntary registration.
- Interstate suppliers of goods, whatever their turnover.
Returns we help with
- GSTR-1
- Details of your outward supplies. Usually due by the 11th of the following month for monthly filers; your buyers' input tax credit depends on it.
- GSTR-3B
- The summary return through which tax is paid and credit claimed. Usually due by the 20th of the following month for monthly filers.
- QRMP scheme
- Quarterly returns with monthly tax payments for eligible smaller taxpayers. Dates differ from monthly filers.
- GSTR-9
- The annual return summarising the year, required depending on your turnover.
- ITC & GSTR-2B
- Purchases matched with GSTR-2B invoice by invoice, and supplier invoices actioned in the Invoice Management System, before GSTR-3B is filed.
General guide only. Due dates are set and frequently extended by the government, and some depend on your turnover or type of return — call to confirm the current date for your case.
03TDS & TCS
TDS and TCS returns
TAN registration, quarterly TDS and TCS returns, Form 16 and 16A for the people you pay, and correction statements when something goes wrong.
What it involves
When a business pays salary, rent, contractor or professional fees, commission or interest above specified limits, it usually has to deduct tax at source (TDS), deposit it with the government and report it every quarter. Tax collected at source (TCS) works the other way round: on specified sales, the seller collects tax from the buyer and deposits it. Before deducting anything you need a TAN — a 10-character number, separate from your PAN, that is quoted on every payment, return and certificate.
Quarterly returns and certificates
- 24Q
- TDS on salary paid to employees.
- 26Q
- TDS on other payments to residents — rent, contractors, professional fees, commission and interest.
- 27Q
- TDS on payments to non-residents.
- 27EQ
- Tax collected at source.
- Form 16 / 16A
- Certificates for employees and other payees, generated from TRACES once the return has been processed.
These are the familiar names. Under the Income-tax Act, 2025 and its rules, these statements and certificates may carry new form numbers; the return is filed in whichever form applies to the quarter.
Who usually needs it
- Employers paying salaries above the taxable limit.
- Businesses paying rent, contractors or professional fees, even small ones.
- Housing societies and residents' associations with maintenance, housekeeping or security contracts.
- Sellers who must collect TCS on specified sales.
Mistakes such as a wrong PAN or a challan tagged to the wrong quarter are fixed with a correction statement. The people you paid see their credit only after your return is processed, so a late or incorrect return affects them too.
04Accounting
Accounting and bookkeeping
Ledgers kept current, bank reconciliation, a short monthly MIS report and PF/ESI payroll compliance support — so GST and income tax don't pile up at the end of the year.
What bookkeeping usually covers
- Day-to-day entries — sales, purchases, expenses, receipts and payments recorded in your ledger.
- Bank and cash reconciliation — every entry matched to your bank statement, and every difference explained.
- Debtors and creditors — who owes you, whom you owe, and for how long.
- GST-ready registers that tie back to the returns you file.
- Monthly MIS — a short set of reports on sales, major expenses, margin, receivables and cash.
- Year-end support — trial balance, profit and loss account and balance sheet for your return and any audit.
Payroll compliance — PF and ESI
Once your business has employees, Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees' State Insurance (ESI) may apply, depending on your headcount, wages and the rules in force. Compliance means registering the establishment, deducting the employee share, paying both shares by the monthly due date and filing the monthly returns. We help with registration, monthly contribution filings and the salary records behind them.
Monthly bookkeeping works well for most small businesses because it lines up with GST returns and bank statements. Leaving everything to the year-end usually means missing bills and a harder reconciliation.
05Business registration
Business registration
Choosing and registering the right structure — proprietorship, partnership firm, LLP or private limited company — plus MSME/Udyam registration.
Choosing the right structure
The structure decides who is liable for the business's debts, how it is taxed, how much paperwork it carries each year and how easily it can take on partners or investors.
| Structure | Liability | How it is set up | Often suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sole proprietorship | Unlimited — you and the business are one | No single registration; established through GST, Udyam, local registrations and a current account | One-person businesses and freelancers starting out |
| Partnership firm | Unlimited — partners are jointly and severally liable | Partnership deed; registration with the Registrar of Firms | Two or more people running a business on a simple footing |
| LLP | Limited to the agreed contribution | Incorporated with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs; LLP agreement filed | Professional firms and owner-run businesses wanting limited liability |
| Private limited company | Limited to share capital | Incorporated with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, with directors, MoA and AoA | Businesses planning to raise investment or scale up |
MSME / Udyam registration
Udyam registration is free, online and based on Aadhaar and PAN. It classifies a business as micro, small or medium by investment and turnover, and can help with access to some government schemes, priority-sector lending and protection against delayed payments from buyers.
What comes after registration
Registration is the start, not the finish. Depending on the structure you'll need a current account, GST if it applies, TDS once you pay rent or contractors, regular bookkeeping and the annual filings that come with an LLP or company.
Many new ventures start from home. A residential address can usually be used as the place of business, with a utility bill and the owner's no-objection letter if the flat is not in your name — though some licences need commercial premises.
06Tax notices
Income-tax and GST notice replies
Help reading income-tax intimations and notices and GST notices, gathering the documents they refer to and preparing a response.
What to do when a notice arrives
- Check that it is genuineIncome-tax notices can be authenticated on the e-filing portal. GST notices appear in your GST portal account, and those from central GST officers carry a DIN you can verify on the CBIC website.
- Note the response dateIt is written on the notice. Most replies are submitted online, and the date matters more than anything else on the page.
- Collect the papers it refers toThe return, computation, statements and invoices for the year or period concerned.
- Respond — fully, partly or with an explanationAgree where the department is right, explain with evidence where it isn't, and keep the acknowledgement.
Common notices we help with
- Intimation
- Sent after your return is processed. It compares the department's computation with yours and may show a demand, a lower refund or adjustments.
- Mismatch
- Income in your AIS that doesn't appear in your return — or GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B figures that don't agree.
- Defective return
- A return that is missing something or was filed in the wrong form, and needs correcting within the time given.
- ASMT-10
- Discrepancies a GST officer has found while scrutinising your returns.
- DRC-01A / DRC-01
- Intimation of tax ascertained, and show-cause notices proposing a GST demand.
- Scrutiny
- A detailed examination of an income-tax return, carried out largely online through e-proceedings.
Fake “tax notice” messages asking you to click a link or pay into a personal account are common — the department doesn't collect tax that way. If you're unsure whether a message is genuine, don't click anything; check it on the official portal or bring it to us.

Questions
Tax and GST questions, answered
Common questions about the new tax year, returns, GST, TDS, business structures and notices.
General guide only. Due dates are set and frequently extended by the government, and some depend on your turnover or type of return — call to confirm the current date for your case.
What is the 'tax year' under the new Income-tax Act?
The Income-tax Act, 2025, in force from 1 April 2026, uses 'tax year' for the twelve months from 1 April to 31 March in which income is earned. It replaces the earlier pairing of 'previous year' and 'assessment year'. Returns for earlier years still follow the rules that applied to them.
Can I switch between the old and new tax regime?
Generally, people without business income can choose the regime afresh each year — but the old regime is usually available only in a return filed by the due date; a late (belated) return is generally taxed under the new regime. People with business or professional income have stricter limits on switching back and forth. Call us to confirm the rule for your tax year.
What is advance tax and does it apply to me?
If your tax for the year, after TDS, is expected to cross a set threshold, you are generally expected to pay it in instalments during the year — typically by mid-June, mid-September, mid-December and mid-March. It commonly affects freelancers, business owners and people with large capital gains or rental income.
What is the difference between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B?
GSTR-1 reports your sales — invoice by invoice for business customers — and your buyers' input tax credit depends on it. GSTR-3B is the summary return through which you pay tax and claim input tax credit. For monthly filers, GSTR-1 is usually due by the 11th and GSTR-3B by the 20th of the following month.
Do I need GST registration to sell on Amazon or Flipkart?
Usually, yes. Sellers supplying goods through e-commerce platforms have generally needed GST registration regardless of turnover, although relaxations now exist for some small sellers who supply only within their own state. Tell us what you sell and where, and we can help you check which rule applies.
What happens if a TDS return is filed late?
A late-filing fee generally applies for each day of delay, subject to a cap, and penalties are possible if the delay is long. Separately, interest applies if tax was deducted but deposited late. Filing on time also matters for the people you paid, because their credit appears only after your return is processed.
Should I register as a proprietorship or an LLP?
A proprietorship is quick to set up and has the least paperwork, but your personal assets are exposed to business liabilities. An LLP gives limited liability and a separate legal identity, with annual filings with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The right choice depends on your risk, partners and plans.
What if I've missed the deadline to reply to a notice?
Respond as soon as possible. Depending on the stage, you may be able to submit a late reply, ask for more time or appeal against an order. The options narrow with time, so bring the notice to us quickly.
