GST was supposed to be simple. For operating businesses it's a monthly reconciliation marathon — GSTR-1, 3B, 2B matching, e-invoicing, refunds, audits — where the credit you don't reconcile is money you lose. We run GST as a managed tax function: filed right, reconciled monthly, defended when questioned.
GST compliance is the monthly cycle of outward supply reporting (GSTR-1), summary payment (GSTR-3B), input credit matching (GSTR-2B), e-invoicing for applicable turnovers, e-way bills for movement, and the annual return and reconciliation statement (GSTR-9/9C). Advisory adds the layer above: classification, place-of-supply, valuation, exemption analysis, and dispute handling.
The system's logic is matching — your credits depend on your vendors' compliance, your liability on your reporting precision. Companies that treat GST as data entry lose credit silently every month; companies that treat it as a managed function protect real money.
Multi-state businesses where registration, place-of-supply, and e-way bill discipline multiply — the complexity scales faster than the team. Companies with 2B mismatches bleeding input credit, where vendor follow-up is nobody's job and everybody's loss.
Businesses facing GST audits, scrutiny, or show-cause notices — where the quality of records and responses determines outcomes. Exporters and inverted-duty-structure businesses sitting on refund claims that need filing and fighting for.
Anyone whose GST is "handled" but nobody can explain the last three months' filings. If the person filing can't defend the positions taken, you don't have compliance — you have typing.
GSTR-1 and 3B prepared from your sales data, reconciled before filing — not filed and hoped. E-invoicing integration for applicable turnovers, e-way bill discipline for movements. The monthly cycle, run properly.
Monthly GSTR-2B vs purchase register matching, vendor follow-up for mismatches, credit optimisation. This single process protects more money than any other GST activity — unreconciled credit is donated tax.
HSN/SAC classification, rate applicability, place-of-supply determinations, valuation questions, exemption analysis — answered in writing, before you invoice. Classification errors compound monthly; getting them right once pays forever.
Export refunds, inverted duty structure, excess balance — claims prepared, filed, and followed through the department's process. Refunds don't arrive; they're extracted.
GST audit (departmental) preparation and representation, scrutiny responses, show-cause replies, and appeals. Records built monthly make disputes defensible; records built at notice-stage don't.
GSTR-9 and 9C — the annual true-up where the year's monthly positions get tested. Prepared from reconciled records, not reconstructed memory.
Monthly retainer by transaction volume and state count; refunds and litigation quoted as separate fixed-fee assignments. Annual returns included in the retainer — they're part of the year, not an extra.
Onboarding in 2–3 weeks: registrations verified, historical filings reviewed, the monthly rhythm established. Backlog cleanups quoted separately.
GSTR-1 and 3B filed from different data, 2B never matched, differences discovered at annual return. Monthly reconciliation is the control; filing is just the output. Reconcile first, file second — always.
Your vendors don't file, your 2B shrinks, your credit evaporates — and nobody follows up because nobody's watching. Monthly vendor compliance tracking is unglamorous and lucrative.
Wrong HSN, wrong rate, wrong place-of-supply — repeated on every invoice for years. One advisory opinion at the start prevents thousands of wrong filings.
Registrations, past filings, 2B position, open issues. The starting picture, honestly drawn.
Data in, reconciliations run, returns filed. Credit protected, positions documented.
Classification, structuring, and planning questions answered as they arise.
Audits, scrutinies, refunds, appeals — handled with the records the monthly process built.
Reconciliation, credit protection, advisory positions, and defence-readiness. Filing is the last 10% of GST; we do the 90% that makes the 10% correct.
Monthly 2B reconciliation with vendor follow-up. Mismatches caught in the month they occur, while vendors can still fix them.
We file and pursue them — export, inverted structure, excess cash. Refunds take departmental follow-through; we do the following.
Covered — integration, IRN generation discipline, and the reconciliation between e-invoices and GSTR-1. Mandatory above thresholds; messy if unmanaged.
Yes — scrutiny, audit, show-cause. We assess the position from your records and respond precisely. Monthly-managed clients rarely get surprised.
By state count and volume. The complexity is real and we price it honestly — but centralised management beats fragmented filing every time.
No — blocked credits (motor vehicles, food and beverages, personal use, exempt supplies) are specifically excluded. Claiming blocked credit is the fastest route to a demand notice.
Your credit is at risk — follow up in the month, escalate quarterly, and consider commercial consequences. Vendor discipline is a procurement problem with tax consequences.
Typically the financial year under audit — but records must be maintained for 72 months. The look-back in investigations can run wider.
Registration follows place-of-supply and physical-presence rules, not sales volume alone. Wrong registrations create compliance burden; missing ones create liability.
