Income tax, GST and TDS — one team, one calendar

Three tax regimes, dozens of deadlines and constant amendment. Splitting them across different advisers is how mismatches appear between what you filed under one and what you claimed under another.

Direct & Indirect Taxation

Filed correctly the first time, defended if questioned

Taxation is the most consequential recurring decision most businesses make, and the one where errors compound quietly. A misclassified supply, an unreconciled input credit or a missed advance tax instalment does not announce itself — it surfaces two years later as a demand with interest attached.

We handle income tax, GST and TDS as a single practice: planning before the year, compliance through it, and representation when the department asks a question. Our clients range from salaried individuals to manufacturers, exporters, professionals, trusts and corporate groups.

Direct & Indirect Taxation at Ratnesh Thakur & Co.

This page is for you if

  • You are GST-registered and want returns filed accurately and on time
  • You want tax planning done before the year, not reconstructed after it
  • A notice, scrutiny assessment or demand has arrived
  • Your TDS deductions and Form 26AS credits don't reconcile
  • You need clean, defensible tax records for a lender or investor
The service list

What we handle, end to end

We prepare and file returns for salaried employees, self-employed professionals, proprietorships, partnership firms, LLPs, private limited companies, trusts, NGOs and corporate organisations.

Income sources, deductions, exemptions, capital gains, investments and business expenses are examined before the return is prepared, not after a query arrives. Complexity is a reason to take more care, not a reason to charge more for the same work.

Effective tax planning is about managing finances intelligently within the law, not avoiding tax. We analyse income structures, business transactions, investments, deductions, exemptions and depreciation to build a strategy that fits how your business actually operates.

Planning through the year lets you make informed decisions rather than discovering the consequences in March.

Advance tax is payable where estimated liability crosses the prescribed threshold, and both under-estimation and late payment attract interest.

We compute instalment-wise obligations from projected income, business profits, capital gains and deductions, monitor due dates, and revise the computation when the year turns out differently from the forecast.

Assessments, reassessments, scrutiny proceedings, rectifications and appeals all require timely, documented responses.

We prepare the reply, assemble the supporting record and represent you before the Income Tax Department, appellate authorities and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. The objective is resolution rather than escalation.

A notice does not imply wrongdoing, but the reply window is short and a weak first response is difficult to undo.

We handle notices for defective returns, scrutiny assessments, information mismatches, TDS discrepancies, demands, reassessment proceedings and verification requests — analysing what has actually been asked before drafting anything.

We handle registration, business classification, HSN and SAC selection, and the documentation that avoids later complications.

Amendments too: changes of address, partner or director details, constitution, authorised signatory, additional place of business, bank details, and cancellation or surrender where a registration is no longer required.

Monthly, quarterly and annual returns across regular, composition and other applicable schemes — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C and CMP-08.

Purchase and sales records are verified and liabilities reconciled before submission, so discrepancies are found by us rather than by the department.

Input tax credit is the largest benefit under GST and the most common source of dispute. We reconcile purchase registers against GSTR-2B, supplier invoices and your accounting records to identify mismatches, missing invoices, duplicate claims and ineligible credit.

Where the problem is at the vendor's end, we coordinate with them. Regular reconciliation protects working capital as much as it protects compliance.

We review tax records, invoices, ITC claims, outward supplies, statutory registers and filings to find errors before they become liabilities.

Advisory covers interstate supply, exports and imports, reverse charge, e-commerce operations, classification of goods and services, and the tax treatment of transactions you are contemplating rather than ones you have already completed.

Return mismatches, ITC disputes, demand notices, assessments and cancellation proceedings — we draft the reply, rectify the underlying issue and represent you before GST authorities.

We advise on applicability, calculate deductions under the correct section at the correct rate, prepare working sheets, generate challans and ensure timely payment.

Quarterly returns are filed in Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ, with PAN, challan and deduction data validated before submission, and correction statements filed where revisions are needed.

Certificates are issued within the prescribed timelines, and we reconcile deductions, challans, Form 26AS and the Annual Information Statement against your accounting records so that deductees receive the credit they are entitled to without chasing it.

How it works

The shape of the engagement

Before the year

Planning

We look at projected income, transactions and investments and set the approach — entity structure, timing, and which elections are worth making.

Through the year

Compliance

Monthly and quarterly GST returns, TDS payments and returns, advance tax instalments, reconciliations.

Year end

Filing

Returns prepared from records that have already been reconciled, rather than assembled in a rush.

If questioned

Representation

Notices answered and, where necessary, appeals carried through to the ITAT.

Common questions

Before you get in touch

Bring it to us before responding. Most notices are routine — mismatches, verification requests, defective returns — but the reply window is short and a hurried first response is hard to walk back. We read what has actually been asked, then draft.
It depends on turnover thresholds, whether you supply interstate, whether you sell through e-commerce, and your sector. Some businesses register voluntarily because customers expect it or because input credit outweighs the compliance. We'll tell you which case applies rather than registering by default.
Yes, and it's common. We identify the mismatch during reconciliation, quantify the exposure and take it up with the vendor. Where the credit is genuinely unavailable, it's better to know in the same quarter than at annual return.
It depends on your deductions, housing loan position, allowances and how those look over the next few years rather than only this one. The comparison takes a few minutes with your actual numbers and is worth doing properly once.
The limitation periods depend on the provision invoked and the amount involved, and they have changed more than once in recent years. If you've received a reassessment notice, the specific section quoted on it determines the answer — bring it in and we'll tell you where you stand.
