GST registration, filing and compliance
Registration, return filing, reconciliation, refunds and notice handling under the Goods and Services Tax.
The Goods and Services Tax touches almost every part of a trading or manufacturing business — how you invoice, what credit you can claim, and what you file each month or quarter. We handle that cycle end to end for businesses in Shikohabad, Firozabad and the wider Agra region, and work with clients online across India.
Our work covers the routine (registration, periodic returns, annual reconciliation) and the exceptional (departmental notices, refunds, cancellation and revocation). Where a matter involves representation before the department, our advocate handles the drafting and appearance.
What GST compliance involves
Most registered businesses file monthly or quarterly returns reporting outward supplies and tax payable, and reconcile the input tax credit available to them against what suppliers have actually reported. Errors in that reconciliation are the most common reason a business later receives a notice.
Beyond the periodic returns, an annual return and a reconciliation statement may be required depending on turnover, and specific transactions — exports, supplies to SEZs, e-commerce sales — carry their own procedures.
Working with us on GST
We begin by understanding what you supply, where your customers are, and how your records are currently kept. That determines which registrations apply, which returns you must file, and what can realistically be claimed as credit.
From there the work is a monthly rhythm: you share invoices and purchase records, we prepare and file, and you receive the acknowledgement along with a note of what falls due next.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to register for GST?
Registration depends on your turnover, the nature of your supplies and the state you operate in. Some categories must register irrespective of turnover.
How long does GST registration take?
Applications are usually processed within 7 to 10 working days, subject to departmental verification.
What happens if I do not file a GST return for a period with no sales?
A nil return is still required. Late fees accrue for each day of delay, for each return, whether or not there was any turnover. Continued non-filing can also lead to the registration being cancelled by the department.
If you no longer need the registration, cancelling it formally is considerably cheaper than leaving it dormant and unfiled.
My supplier has not filed their return. Can I still claim the input credit?
Input tax credit is available on the basis of what appears in GSTR-2B, which reflects what your suppliers have actually reported. Where a supplier has not filed, the credit will not appear there, and claiming it anyway creates a mismatch that is likely to be queried.
The practical response is to identify these cases each month and follow up with the supplier while the period is recent, rather than discovering them at the annual reconciliation.
I have received a GST notice. What should I do first?
Note the date of the notice and the period it allows for a response — that period runs from the date of the notice, not from when you read it. Then send us the complete notice, including annexures, along with your registration details.
Most notices arise from a difference the system has flagged rather than from an allegation of wrongdoing, and are resolved by a reply with the supporting records. Allowing the period to lapse is what turns a manageable query into a costly one.
