Where the work sits
The kinds of engagements this practice holds
Described by category rather than by client name, as professional norms require.
Owner-managed businesses
Recurring compliance and advisory mandates for Mumbai businesses across trading, services and manufacturing, held over multiple assessment years.
Trusts and not-for-profits
Registration, renewal and annual reporting work for charitable trusts and societies operating in and around the city.
Non-resident families
Return filing, repatriation certification and property-transaction compliance for families with Indian assets and overseas residence.
Areas of help
Four ways the firm is usually engaged
Tax, filed and defended
Direct and indirect tax handled as one position — returns, audits, notices and representation.
The back office, kept current
Books, payroll, MIS and company-law obligations maintained so nothing accumulates.
Counsel on the harder decisions
Structuring, succession, due diligence and virtual CFO work for owners at a turning point.
Assurance and cross-border work
Audit conducted under partner oversight; non-resident and FEMA matters handled in one place.
Practice areas
Eight practices, one set of records
Each area is handled in-house, so a position taken in one filing holds in the next.
Specialist focus
For families whose money is in Mumbai and whose address is not
Mumbai holds one of India's significant NRI communities. This practice is built around their specific needs — returns for non-residents, treaty relief, 15CA/15CB and repatriation, lower-TDS certificates, FEMA questions and the compliance that attaches to selling Indian property from abroad.
NRI & International Services22 years of practice teaches what no exam can: the best professional advice is usually the simplest.
Who sits across the table
Seven kinds of client, one standard of attention
Individuals
Salaried professionals and property owners who need their return filed accurately and their notices answered properly. We plan the year rather than react to the deadline.
Small businesses
Proprietors, firms and closely held companies running lean. Books, GST and direct tax handled together so one set of records serves every filing.
Startups
Founders who need incorporation, DPIIT recognition and investor-ready records without slowing down. Compliance is set up once and kept current.
HNIs
Individuals with layered income — capital gains, business interests, property and overseas holdings. Positions are planned across the family, not filing by filing.
Family businesses
Second- and third-generation businesses formalising governance and succession. We work with the owner's position and the company's position at the same table.
NGOs and trusts
Registration under 12A/12AB, 80G and CSR-1, fund-wise accounting and annual filings. Documentation is maintained to survive scrutiny.
NRIs
Non-residents with Indian income, property or investments. Returns, repatriation certificates, lower-TDS applications and FEMA questions answered in one place.
