Your questions, answered
Why should I hire a CA firm instead of a freelance accountant?
A CA firm brings qualified review, audit experience and the ability to represent you before tax authorities, which reduces errors and penalty risk.
Do you work with clients outside Pune?
Yes. We serve businesses across India and in the UAE and GCC through secure cloud workflows.
What does the Income-tax Act 2025 change for me?
It replaces the 1961 Act from 1 April 2026 and introduces a single "tax year". Your FY 2025-26 return is still filed under the old Act.
What are the current GST rates?
Since 22 September 2025, most goods and services fall under 5% or 18%, with 40% for specified luxury and sin goods.
How are your fees charged?
Fixed monthly retainers for ongoing work and fixed quotes for one-time assignments, agreed up front.
Is my financial data secure?
Yes. Documents are shared through access-controlled cloud folders, only the team working on your file can see them, and client information is kept strictly confidential.
Do you handle GST and income-tax notices?
Yes, including drafting replies and representation at hearings.
