Do I need to visit the office to use your services from Kochi?
No. Most clients from Kochi share documents on WhatsApp or email, sign authorisations online and speak to the CA on a call or video. The office is in Goregaon West, Mumbai, and you are welcome to visit by appointment.
Does Kerala have its own tax rules?
Income tax and the central GST law are the same across India. State differences are in professional tax, stamp duty and the valuation rate used for property (the fair value in Kerala), and in state GST administration. Kerala levies professional tax on salaried employees and professionals, so employers and professionals must register and file it separately from income tax.
Is NRE interest taxable when I return to Kochi?
Interest on an NRE account is exempt in India only while you are a non-resident. Once you become a resident, the account must be converted, and later interest is taxable. We help you time this.
My family in Kochi receives money from my Gulf job. Is it taxable?
Money you send as a gift to close relatives is not income for them under the gift rules, but income earned abroad is taxed according to your own residential status in India. We check both sides.
How do I get a quote for my case in Kochi?
Fill the form on this page or WhatsApp us your situation. A CA reviews your documents free of charge and sends a fixed fee in writing before any work begins. Government charges are shown separately.
What is the last date to file an income tax return?
For individuals and HUFs who do not need an audit, the usual due date is 31 July after the financial year ends. Cases needing a tax audit normally get 31 October, and companies with transfer pricing reports 30 November. The government sometimes extends dates, so we confirm the notified date for your year before we start.
What happens if I miss the ITR due date?
You can still file a belated return under section 139(4), generally until 31 December of the assessment year, but with a late fee under section 234F (₹5,000, or ₹1,000 if total income is up to ₹5 lakh) and interest under 234A. Most losses cannot be carried forward in a belated return, which can cost more than the fee itself.
Do I need to e-verify my return after filing?
Yes. A return is treated as filed only after e-verification, which must be completed within 30 days of filing. You can verify with Aadhaar OTP, net banking, a pre-validated bank account or a demat account. We guide you through it and confirm the processed status on the portal afterwards.
