Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each is avoidable with a calendar and an early review.
Ignoring a notice
Notices carry deadlines. An unanswered notice can turn into an order made without hearing your side.
Wrong classification or credit claims
Misclassifying goods or services, or claiming ineligible credit, tends to surface in audits with interest and penalty.
Foreign money without FEMA reporting
Inward or outward investment without the required filings can attract compounding and penalties.
Related-party dealings without documentation
Transactions between group entities need pricing support prepared at the time, not after a query.
Treating compliance as year-end work
Missed monthly and quarterly filings add late fees and can block credits or refunds.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
What should we do first when we receive a tax notice?
Note the date and deadline, do not ignore it, and send it to us with related documents. Many notices can be answered with a clear explanation and records.
We review it, tell you the risk and prepare the reply.
Can we appeal an order we disagree with?
Generally yes, within the time allowed by the relevant statute. Appeals go to the prescribed appellate authority, and a pre-deposit may be needed.
Limitation periods are strict, so contact us promptly.
Is GST registration mandatory for a startup?
It depends on turnover thresholds, the nature of supplies, and whether you make inter-state supplies or sell through e-commerce operators.
We check your position and register you correctly.
What is FEMA compliance for foreign investment?
Receiving foreign investment requires reporting to the RBI within prescribed timelines and following pricing and sector rules. Late or missing filings can lead to penalties or compounding.
We prepare filings and remediate past gaps.
Do ESOPs create a tax liability?
Generally, tax can arise at exercise as a perquisite and again on sale as capital gains. Eligible startups may have deferral benefits.
We advise on plan design and the employee tax position.
Can past non-compliance be corrected?
Often, yes. Voluntary correction, revised returns, compounding or settlement schemes can reduce the cost, depending on the issue and timing.
We assess options and act before an authority does.
How much does this cost?
Reviews and opinions are available at fixed fees, and litigation is scoped after we see the papers. Ongoing support can run through SIRI Shield.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
