Compliance domain

One company, many GSTINs, and a re-sectioned Income-tax Act

Indirect tax compliance in India is per-registration, not per-entity. A manufacturer registered in fourteen states files fourteen sets of returns against fourteen sets of state-level notifications. On top of that, the Income-tax Act, 2025 has re-sectioned sixty years of internal references.

What the domain contains

The obligation groups we maintain

Each of these decomposes into individual obligations with an actor, an action, a trigger and a deadline, cited to the section or rule it comes from.

GST returns and reconciliations

GSTR-1, 3B, 9 and 9C per GSTIN, with input tax credit matching against GSTR-2B and the conditions in Section 16(2).

E-invoicing and e-way bills

IRN generation above the turnover threshold, e-way bill generation and validity, and the 30-day reporting window on the IRP.

Withholding tax

TDS and TCS deduction, deposit, quarterly returns and certificate issuance under the re-sectioned Income-tax Act, 2025.

Transfer pricing

Form 3CEB, master file and country-by-country reporting for qualifying groups, plus safe harbour and APA elections.

Customs and trade

Classification, valuation, Rules of Origin certification under CAROTAR, AEO conditions and export obligation fulfilment under EPCG and advance authorisation.

Assessment and litigation

Faceless assessment responses, show cause notice timelines, appeal limitation periods and pre-deposit requirements.

Why it goes wrong

The failure modes we see most often

01

Compliance multiplies by registration, not by entity

A single legal entity with fourteen GSTINs has fourteen compliance calendars, fourteen sets of notices and fourteen jurisdictional officers with their own views.

02

The new Income-tax Act broke every cross-reference

Substance is largely preserved but section numbers moved. Every internal SOP, template, contract clause and system configuration citing a 1961 Act section now cites something that does not exist.

03

Notices arrive at portals nobody watches

GST and income tax notices are served electronically with short response windows. Missed notices become ex parte orders, and the appeal costs more than the tax.

Across industries

This domain does not care what you manufacture

Domain obligations apply by activity, headcount, turnover and location — not by sector code. What changes between industries is how much of the domain lands on you, and which sectoral rules stack on top.
