GST Registration and
Indirect Tax Services in India
GST compliance is a continuous monthly obligation — not an annual one. Every invoice, every purchase, every credit claim carries an indirect tax dimension. One wrong classification or a missed return can cascade into notices, blocked ITC, and penalties.
Overview
What Are Indirect Taxes in India?
Indirect taxes are levied on the supply of goods and services rather than on income or profit. The tax is collected from the supplier but ultimately borne by the end consumer through higher prices. In India, the primary indirect tax is GST — which replaced VAT, service tax, excise duty, CST, and several other levies from July 1, 2017, creating a unified national tax structure.
GST operates as a multi-stage tax — collected at each stage of the supply chain, with each registered business able to offset the GST paid on its purchases (input tax credit) against the GST collected on its sales. This mechanism eliminates the cascading effect of the earlier tax-on-tax structure. Customs duty continues to apply separately on import and export transactions, and VAT still applies in certain states on specific goods such as petroleum products and liquor that remain outside the GST framework.
Our Services
Our GST Registration and Indirect Tax Services
Our indirect tax practice covers the complete GST compliance lifecycle — from first registration to annual return and dispute resolution.
GST Registration Services
Getting the right GST registration in place from the start is critical. The wrong category, a missing state registration, or an incorrect business classification can create compliance gaps that are costly to fix later. We handle GST registration for all business types and situations — including new registrations, composition scheme enrolments, amendments, revocations, and cancellations.
GST Return Filing and Compliance
Monthly GST compliance is where most businesses face the highest risk of errors and penalties. Our return filing services cover every form — GSTR-1 (outward supplies), GSTR-3B (summary with tax payment), GSTR-9 (annual return), and GSTR-9C (reconciliation statement). For businesses preferring dedicated accountant support, our Return Filing by Accountant service provides a named professional managing your entire GST calendar every month.
Input Tax Credit, GSTR-2B Reconciliation and ITC Review
Input tax credit is only claimable on purchases that appear in GSTR-2B — and the rules around what can and cannot be claimed are strict. Excess ITC claims result in reversal demands with 18% interest. Our team performs monthly GSTR-2B reconciliation, matches your purchase register against available credits, flags non-filing vendors, and advises on ITC blocked under Section 17(5). We also handle GSTR-2A reconciliation for historical review and ITC-04 filing for job work transactions.
GST Refund Services
Exporters, businesses with inverted duty structures, and those with excess ITC accumulation are entitled to GST refunds — but the application process requires precise documentation and disciplined follow-up. We handle refunds for IGST-paying exporters, LUT-based export of services, and inverted duty structure cases. We also file GST LUT forms at the start of each financial year for exporter clients — enabling zero-rated export without upfront IGST payment.
GST Notices, Assessment and Audit Support
A GST notice is not something to handle alone. Every notice — whether a return scrutiny query, a Show Cause Notice, or an audit notice — has a specific legal basis, a deadline, and a documentation requirement. Our team handles the complete range of proceedings — from the first ASMT-10 scrutiny notice through to departmental audits, adjudication hearings, and appellate proceedings before the GST Appellate Tribunal.
GST Advisory and Specialised Services
Beyond compliance, many business decisions have indirect tax consequences that need to be evaluated before the transaction — not after. Our GST Consultancy Services cover HSN/SAC code classification, rate determination, place of supply, reverse charge mechanism, and structuring advice. We also provide e-way bill support, e-invoicing advisory, OIDAR compliance for foreign digital service providers, and proactive GST Health Check reviews to identify past compliance gaps before they trigger departmental action.

F.A.Q.
Businesses with aggregate annual turnover exceeding Rs. 20 lakhs (Rs. 10 lakhs for special category states) must register for GST. Businesses making inter-state taxable supplies, providing services through e-commerce operators, or falling under specific notified categories must register regardless of turnover. Voluntary registration is available below the threshold, which is useful for businesses wanting to claim input tax credit.
The Composition Scheme allows small businesses with annual turnover up to Rs. 1.5 crore (Rs. 75 lakhs for some states) to pay GST at a flat rate on turnover — typically 1% for traders, 5% for restaurants, and 6% for service providers — without charging GST on invoices and without claiming input tax credit. It simplifies compliance but cannot be used by businesses making inter-state supplies or supplying through e-commerce operators.
Yes. Voluntary registration is available for any business or professional below the turnover threshold. The benefit is the ability to claim input tax credit on business purchases and professional services. However, once registered voluntarily, GST return filing becomes mandatory. We assess whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific situation before advising on it.
GSTR-2A is a dynamic document that updates in real time as suppliers file their GSTR-1 returns. GSTR-2B is a static monthly statement generated on the 14th of each month, showing the ITC available for the current return period based on suppliers’ filings up to that date. ITC can only be claimed based on GSTR-2B — not GSTR-2A. Provisional credit based on self-assessment is no longer permitted under current GST rules.
If your GST registration has been cancelled suo motu by the department — typically due to non-filing of returns — you can apply for revocation of cancellation within 90 days of the cancellation order. The revocation application requires all pending returns to be filed and all outstanding dues to be paid. We manage the complete revocation process — filing returns, settling dues, drafting the revocation application, and following up with the department.
