Frequently Asked Questions

Client Inquiries & Statutory Clarity

Practical answers regarding Income Tax scrutiny defense, GST compliance, institutional bank audits, corporate advisory, and partner consultations.

Under India's Faceless Assessment Scheme, all proceedings and reassessments are conducted digitally through the National Faceless Assessment Centre (NaFAC) within strict statutory timelines. Our firm guides clients through an immediate, step-by-step defense:

  • Forensic Data Reconciliation: Cross-verifying reported ITR figures against the Annual Information Statement (AIS), Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS), Form 26AS, and verified bank records to detect data variances early.
  • Comprehensive Legal Submissions: Managing Partner CA Sujesh C. Suratwala drafts detailed, item-by-item submissions supported by financial ledgers, transactional evidence, and binding High Court and Supreme Court precedents.
  • Faceless Video Hearings: Representing clients before the Assessment Unit or CIT (Appeals) through electronic video-conferencing to defend legitimate deductions and resolve departmental queries.

A statutory Tax Audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act is mandatory for business entities with annual turnover exceeding ₹1 Crore (or ₹10 Crores where aggregate cash receipts and payments do not exceed 5%), and for professionals with gross receipts exceeding ₹50 Lakhs (or ₹75 Lakhs under eligible presumptive limits).

Our audit desk conducts a rigorous independent verification of books of accounts, depreciation claims, TDS compliance, related-party payments under Section 40A(2), and statutory liabilities under Section 43B. We furnish Form 3CA/3CD (for entities audited under company law) or Form 3CB/3CD (for non-corporate enterprises) well in advance of statutory deadlines.

Under Section 45(5A), individual and HUF landowners entering into registered development agreements with builders benefit from deferred capital gains taxation. The tax liability arises only in the financial year when the local municipal authority issues the project Completion Certificate (CC).

Our firm provides strategic advisory to landowners, cooperative societies, and developers across South Gujarat on stamp duty valuation (Jantri) determination, monetary consideration structuring, TDS obligations under Section 194-IC, and capital gains exemptions through eligible reinvestments under Sections 54, 54F, and 54EC.

With stringent portal automation, claiming unverified ITC leads to automatic notices and interest under Section 50. Our indirect tax desk provides full statutory safeguard:

  • Continuous GSTR-2B Matching: Performing monthly automated invoice-matching between internal purchase registers and portal auto-populated GSTR-2B before filing GSTR-3B.
  • Defaulting Supplier Tracking: Identifying vendor non-filers and ITC mismatches early so corrective actions or payment hold-backs can be enforced.
  • Annual Consolidation: Year-end audit reconciliation under Form GSTR-9 and statutory certification under Form GSTR-9C pursuant to Section 44 of the CGST Act.

When clients receive scrutiny notices under Section 61 (Form ASMT-10) or show-cause notices under Section 73/74 (Form DRC-01) alleging ITC differences or turnover variances, our firm:

  • Conducts transactional forensic reconciliation to identify timing differences, credit notes, or supplier reporting errors.
  • Prepares paragraph-by-paragraph legal and factual replies accompanied by supplier payment proofs, e-way bills, and CA certificates.
  • Represents clients during personal hearings before GST Adjudicating Authorities and handles appeals before Appellate Commissioners.

Directed by Senior Partner CA Bhaveshkumar G. Mali (Navsari Office No. 406, 'B' Wing), our firm provides comprehensive assurance services for major commercial and cooperative banks:

  • Statutory Bank Branch Audits: Independent audit of advances, P&L verification, IRAC prudential provisioning, and Long Form Audit Report (LFAR) disclosures per RBI directives.
  • Concurrent & Revenue Audits: Continuous day-to-day verification of credit sanctioning, security documentation, and revenue leakage detection.
  • Stock & Book Debt Audits: On-site physical inspection of hypothecated stocks, inventory valuation, drawing power recalculation, and working capital monitoring.

We provide full regulatory lifecycle assistance for corporations and LLPs under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA):

  • Incorporation & Structuring: Private Limited Companies, Public Companies, One Person Companies (OPC), Section 8 non-profits, and LLPs.
  • Annual ROC Compliance: Preparation and filing of Form AOC-4 (financial statements), Form MGT-7/7A (annual returns), Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC), and maintenance of statutory registers.
  • Corporate Changes: Allotment of shares, alteration of Memorandum & Articles of Association (MOA/AOA), registered office shifts, and director appointments.

Engaging our firm begins with a direct, confidential discussion:

  • Direct Partner Access: Submit an inquiry via our website contact form (directly received by Managing Partner CA Sujesh Suratwala at casujesh@gmail.com), or reach our Navsari Head Office (Offices 407 & 406, 'B' Wing, Union Heights) and Surat Branch Office (1020 World Trade Centre) by phone.
