LOHITHKUMAR M & CO. offers the full spectrum of Chartered Accountancy services for individuals, startups, SMEs, corporates and NRIs across India.
End-to-end income tax — ITR filing to assessments
We handle the complete lifecycle of your income tax obligations — from computing your taxable income and selecting the optimal regime to filing your ITR, responding to notices and representing you before tax authorities.
We begin with a consultation to understand your income sources and deductions. Based on your profile, we compute liability under both regimes and recommend the optimal approach. We prepare and file your ITR, share the acknowledgement and guide you through e-verification. For assessments and notices, we draft detailed replies and represent you at every stage.
Complete GST management — registration to litigation
From obtaining your GSTIN to filing monthly returns and handling departmental notices, we provide end-to-end GST compliance management tailored to your business structure and turnover.
We review your supply chain, classify transactions by HSN/SAC and determine the correct rate and place of supply. Monthly we compile your sales and purchase data, prepare and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, reconcile ITC with GSTR-2B and advise on any mismatches before the due date.
Company incorporation to ongoing ROC compliance
We handle the full spectrum of MCA compliance — from incorporating your company or LLP to annual filings, statutory audit and secretarial work.
For new incorporations, we guide you from name selection through SPICe+ form filing and obtain your CIN, PAN, TAN and GSTIN in one shot. For ongoing compliance, we maintain a calendar for your filing due dates and prepare all board/AGM resolutions well within deadlines.
Statutory, internal, tax and forensic audit services
Drawing on 3+ years of Big 4 (Deloitte) internal audit experience, we provide rigorous audit and assurance services that go beyond compliance — giving management actionable insights.
We conduct risk assessment, identify audit scope, design audit procedures and execute fieldwork. Our reports include detailed findings, root cause analysis and prioritised recommendations, helping management strengthen controls and reduce risk.
Specialised property valuations for tax and regulatory compliance
With deep Deloitte experience in real estate tax valuations, we provide expert guidance on property transactions from a taxation perspective — ensuring your real estate deals are structured correctly and fully compliant.
We analyse your property transaction documents, compute stamp duty value vs actual consideration, determine the applicable Section and advise on correct tax treatment. For purchases above Rs.50 lakh, we ensure Form 26QB is filed correctly. We provide a detailed written computation and, where needed, accompany you through DVO references.
Anti-money laundering compliance under PMLA 2002 and FATF
With specialised AML experience from Deloitte, we help reporting entities — real estate agents, accountants, fintechs, NBFCs, jewellers — build robust, regulator-ready AML programmes.
We start with a gap analysis of your existing policies against PMLA requirements and FATF guidelines. We then design or revise your AML policy, build customer risk-scoring frameworks, draft KYC and regulatory reporting advisory reporting procedures and conduct staff training. We can also act as a periodic compliance reviewer.
International tax, FEMA, IFRS and NRI advisory
Whether you are an NRI managing Indian income, a foreign company entering India, or an Indian business going overseas, we provide specialist cross-border advisory spanning taxation, FEMA, transfer pricing and IFRS accounting.
We begin by understanding your cross-border structure, residency, entities and nature of income. We identify applicable treaties and Indian regulations, determine optimal structuring and prepare all required forms and filings. For ongoing bookkeeping, we maintain IFRS-compliant books and provide regular management reports.
MIS reports, virtual CFO, payroll, business valuation
Beyond compliance, we provide strategic financial advisory — from designing monthly MIS dashboards for management decisions to project finance documentation for bank loans and virtual CFO services for growing businesses.
For MIS engagements, we align with your reporting cycle, gather data from your accounting system, prepare standardised reports and deliver by agreed deadlines with management commentary. For CMA data / project finance, we prepare detailed financial projections, debt service coverage ratios and fund flow statements.

Deduction, deposit and return filing — 24Q, 26Q, 27Q, Form 16/16A
TDS and TCS compliance is a critical employer and deductor obligation. We handle the entire cycle — from determining the correct rate and deducting at source to depositing within due dates, filing quarterly returns and issuing Form 16 / 16A to deductees.
We collect your payment data each month, compute TDS at the applicable rate (factoring in exemptions and declarations), prepare challans and file quarterly returns. We also generate and distribute Form 16/16A and resolve any mismatches in Form 26AS.
Timely estimation, computation and deposit to avoid interest under Sec. 234B/C
Failure to pay advance tax on time results in interest under Sections 234B and 234C. We estimate your income proactively, compute the correct installment amounts and ensure deposits are made by all four due dates — March, September, December and March.
We review your income projections at each quarter, calculate liability under both regimes, prepare the challan and confirm the deposit. We alert you before each due date and share a computation summary for your records.
LTCG / STCG computation, Schedule 112A, indexation and Section 54/54F planning
Capital gains from equities, mutual funds, property, bonds and other assets have different rates and exemption provisions. We compute your exact liability, identify eligible exemptions and plan reinvestment to minimise tax within the law.
We obtain your complete transaction history, classify each asset, apply the correct rate and holding period, compute set-off positions and prepare your Schedule CG. We also advise on reinvestment timelines for Section 54/54F before the due dates.
Scrutiny, faceless assessment, reassessment and ITAT appeal representation
Receiving an income tax notice can be stressful. We decode the notice, assess risk, draft a factual and legally sound response and represent you at every level — from the Assessing Officer to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
We study the notice and underlying data, gather supporting documents and draft a comprehensive response with case law support where needed. We file the response through the e-proceedings portal and keep you updated at every stage.
Form 3CA / 3CB / 3CD for businesses and professionals above the threshold
A tax audit under Section 44AB is mandatory for businesses with turnover above ₹1 crore (₹10 crore in cash-transaction cases) and professionals with receipts above ₹50 lakh. We conduct the audit meticulously and file Form 3CA/3CB along with the detailed 44-clause Form 3CD before the September 30 deadline.
We begin by reviewing your books, bank statements and financial statements. We verify each clause of Form 3CD with supporting schedules, flag any reportable items and discuss with you before finalising. The audit report is filed well before the due date to avoid penalty under Sec. 271B.
Residential status, DTAA benefits, ITR filing, Sec. 195 TDS and repatriation
NRI tax compliance involves determining residential status, understanding which Indian-source incomes are taxable, optimising DTAA benefits and ensuring TDS deductions on payments to NRIs are correctly handled. We provide end-to-end NRI tax advisory and compliance.
We start with a residential status analysis for the relevant financial year. Based on the income profile, we identify taxable items, determine applicable DTAA provisions and prepare the ITR. For property transactions, we guide both buyer and seller on TDS obligations and obtain lower deduction certificates where possible.
Deduction optimisation, regime selection and year-round proactive tax structuring
Tax planning is not about evasion — it is about using every legitimate provision the law offers. We review your financial profile, recommend the optimal tax regime, maximise eligible deductions and structure income and investments to reduce your annual tax outgo.
We conduct an annual tax review meeting, analyse your income across heads and model scenarios under both regimes. We provide a written recommendation with projected savings and an action plan — investments to make, claims to document and filings to complete before year-end.
New registration, composition scheme, cancellation and amendment
GST registration is mandatory once your aggregate turnover crosses the threshold (₹20L for services, ₹40L for goods in most states). We handle new registrations, amendment of details, composition scheme registration and cancellation — accurately and without delays.
We verify your eligibility, prepare all required documents and file the application on the GST portal. We track the application, respond to any queries or deficiency memos from the officer and ensure the GSTIN is issued without delay.
GSTR-1, 3B, 9, 9C — monthly, quarterly and annual returns
Timely and accurate GST return filing is essential to maintain ITC eligibility and avoid penalties. We manage the complete return filing cycle for your business — monthly data compilation, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing, annual GSTR-9 and reconciliation statement GSTR-9C.
We collect your sales invoices and purchase data each month, classify transactions by place of supply and HSN/SAC, reconcile with books and file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B before due dates. At year-end we prepare GSTR-9 reconciling with the audited financials and certify GSTR-9C.
GSTR-2B reconciliation, Rule 42/43 reversals and Sec. 17(5) blocked credit analysis
Incorrect ITC claims are one of the leading causes of GST notices and demands. We perform monthly GSTR-2B reconciliation, identify mismatches, advise on reversals under Rules 42 and 43 and ensure your ITC register is clean and audit-ready.
Each month after the 14th, we download your GSTR-2B, match it line-by-line against your purchase register, flag mismatches and advise on whether to claim, hold or reverse. We maintain a master reconciliation tracker updated monthly and share a summary report.
GSTR-9 annual return and GSTR-9C reconciliation statement
The annual GST return (GSTR-9) consolidates your entire year's supply, ITC and tax payment data. Where applicable, the GSTR-9C reconciliation statement requires CA certification. We ensure both are accurate and filed before the December 31 deadline.
We begin with a complete reconciliation of your monthly GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 data against your books of accounts. We identify gaps, compute any additional tax liability and advise on payment before filing. GSTR-9C is prepared with detailed workings and certified after your review.
SCN responses, departmental audits, AAR/AAAR and GST Appellate Tribunal
GST litigation requires both technical GST knowledge and procedural expertise. We represent you at all stages — from responding to a show cause notice to arguing before the GST Appellate Tribunal — with well-researched submissions and case law support.
We study the SCN carefully, identify the legal and factual grounds for defence and draft a detailed reply with supporting case law and documents. We accompany you (or appear on your behalf) at personal hearings and keep you informed of all developments.
IRN generation, IRP integration, e-way bill management and compliance
E-invoicing is now mandatory for businesses with aggregate turnover exceeding ₹5 crore. Non-compliance results in invoices being treated as invalid for ITC. We help you set up the IRP integration, generate IRNs and manage e-way bills seamlessly.
We assess your invoice volume and existing accounting system and recommend the most efficient integration method — direct API, GSP (GST Suvidha Provider) or offline JSON tool. We set up the system, train your team and provide ongoing support for IRN generation and e-way bill management.
End-to-end registration of Private Limited Companies, LLPs, OPCs and Section 8 entities
Choosing the right legal structure is the first and most consequential decision for any business. We guide you through entity selection, prepare all incorporation documents, obtain DIN and DSC for directors, file the SPICe+ / FiLLiP form and deliver your Certificate of Incorporation — fully ready to open a current account and commence operations.
We start with a 30-minute advisory call to understand your business and recommend the right structure. We then collect KYC documents, prepare all drafts, obtain DSCs and file the application on the MCA21 portal. From name approval to CoI delivery, the entire process typically takes 7–10 working days. We also set up your statutory registers and minute book so you are audit-ready from day one.
AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1 and all MCA annual compliance for companies and LLPs
Every company and LLP registered under the Companies Act 2013 or the LLP Act 2008 must file annual returns and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within prescribed deadlines. Non-compliance attracts heavy late fees and can lead to director disqualification. We manage the entire annual filing calendar so nothing is missed.
We maintain a compliance calendar for each client from the date of financial year-end. We collect your audited financials, prepare all required forms, obtain director DSC approvals and file on the MCA21 portal. We share confirmation and SRN numbers for every form filed. A compliance summary report is shared at year-end covering all filings completed.
Company secretarial compliance — board meetings, resolutions, share transfers and statutory registers
Beyond annual filings, companies have ongoing secretarial obligations throughout the year — board meetings, statutory registers, share transfers, change of directors and amendments to constitutional documents. We provide retainer-based secretarial support so your company remains compliant at every step.
We operate as your outsourced company secretary. You share meeting details and decisions with us; we prepare the agenda, draft minutes and resolutions, maintain your statutory registers and file any event-based forms on MCA21. All documents are archived in a shared drive and available whenever needed for due diligence or audit.
Multi-currency accounting, GAAP reconciliation and outsourced bookkeeping for global businesses
Businesses operating across borders deal with multi-currency transactions, intercompany entries and the need to maintain books under both Indian GAAP and foreign GAAP simultaneously. We provide accurate, timely and audit-ready bookkeeping for Indian entities of foreign companies and Indian businesses with overseas operations.
We assign a dedicated bookkeeper and review CA to your account. Books are updated on a monthly cycle — we collect invoices, bank statements and expense data, post entries, reconcile ledgers and share finalised monthly accounts by the 10th of the following month. All data is maintained on your preferred accounting platform with shared access.
Comprehensive financial planning for NRIs — investments, repatriation, estate and tax optimisation
NRIs face a unique set of financial decisions — managing assets in India while residing abroad, optimising dual taxation, repatriating funds, planning for eventual return and structuring inheritance. We provide holistic financial advisory that bridges Indian tax law, FEMA regulations and the practical realities of living outside India.
We begin with a detailed financial profile review covering all India-based and overseas assets, income sources and goals. Based on this, we prepare a written advisory note covering tax optimisation, investment allocation and FEMA compliance. We meet (virtually) quarterly to review the plan and adjust for changes in income, assets or regulations.
RBI reporting, FDI/ODI filings, FCGPR, FCTRS, APR and LRS compliance
The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) governs all cross-border transactions in India. Violations attract severe penalties — up to three times the amount involved. We handle the full spectrum of FEMA compliance for inbound foreign investment, outbound investment, remittances and NRI transactions.
We assess the nature of the transaction, determine the applicable FEMA provision and reporting obligation, prepare the required forms and filings and submit through the authorised dealer bank or RBI FIRMS portal. We maintain a FEMA compliance register for each client and provide advance advisory before any significant cross-border transaction is executed.
TP documentation, benchmarking, Form 3CEB and APA advisory for related-party transactions
Transfer pricing regulations require that transactions between associated enterprises — subsidiaries, holding companies, group entities — be priced at arm's length. Non-compliance leads to additions, penalties and double taxation. We provide end-to-end transfer pricing compliance and planning for Indian entities with international related-party transactions.
We begin with a transaction mapping exercise to identify all international related-party dealings. For each transaction, we conduct a functional analysis and perform a benchmarking study to establish the arm's length range. The Local File and Form 3CEB are prepared and filed before the September 30 deadline. We also prepare Management with a plain-English summary of TP positions.
Treaty interpretation, benefit claims, LOB analysis and withholding tax optimisation
India has Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements with over 90 countries. Correctly interpreting and applying DTAA provisions can significantly reduce withholding tax on dividends, interest, royalties and technical service fees. We provide detailed DTAA advisory for both inbound and outbound structures.
We analyse the transaction, identify the applicable DTAA article and provide a written opinion on the treaty position. For ongoing transactions, we obtain the necessary documentation (TRC, Form 10F) from the non-resident party and advise on the correct withholding rate. We also represent you before tax authorities if the DTAA position is challenged.
India entry strategy, entity structuring, regulatory approvals and operational setup for foreign companies
Setting up a business in India involves navigating company law, FEMA, sectoral regulations, tax registrations and labour law simultaneously. Whether you are a foreign company entering India or an Indian entrepreneur launching a new venture, we provide structured advisory to get your business operational correctly and efficiently.
We start with a detailed briefing on your business model, target market, ownership structure and funding plan. We then prepare a written entity selection and entry strategy note. Once the approach is agreed, we manage the incorporation, all tax registrations and regulatory filings in a coordinated manner — providing a single point of contact throughout the process.
Independent audit of financial statements under the Companies Act 2013 and applicable accounting standards
Every company incorporated under the Companies Act 2013 is required to have its financial statements audited by an independent Chartered Accountant. The statutory audit provides assurance to shareholders, lenders and regulators that the accounts give a true and fair view. We conduct rigorous, risk-based statutory audits with a focus on accuracy, compliance and timely delivery.
We follow a structured three-phase audit approach: planning (risk assessment, internal control review), execution (substantive testing, analytical procedures) and reporting (draft report, management discussion, final sign-off). We coordinate closely with your finance team to minimise disruption and share an audit observation memo before finalising the report, giving you the opportunity to address any findings.
Risk-based internal audit, process reviews and management control assessments
Internal audit is a critical management tool for identifying operational inefficiencies, financial control gaps and compliance risks before they become material issues. Unlike statutory audit, internal audit is forward-looking and process-oriented — designed to help management strengthen controls and improve efficiency. We provide independent, objective internal audit services tailored to your industry and risk profile.
We prepare an annual audit plan covering all audit areas prioritised by risk. Each audit engagement begins with a process walkthrough, followed by transaction testing and control evaluation. We issue a draft report to management for response, incorporate their comments and finalise the report with an action plan. We track open observations and present a status update to management or the audit committee quarterly.
Customised management information systems — monthly dashboards, KPI tracking and business intelligence
Management Information Systems (MIS) translate raw financial and operational data into actionable insights for decision-making. Whether you are a startup tracking burn rate or an established business monitoring divisional profitability, accurate and timely MIS is indispensable. We design, build and deliver customised MIS reports aligned to your business model and management priorities.
We begin by understanding your business model, key decision variables and reporting frequency. We design a MIS template, agree on data inputs and build the reporting structure. Each month, we collect data from your accounting system and operations team, prepare the MIS pack and share it by a fixed date — typically the 7th or 10th of the following month — with a brief written commentary on key variances and concerns.
End-to-end payroll processing, statutory compliance — PF, ESIC, PT, TDS on salary
Payroll is one of the most time-sensitive and compliance-heavy functions in any organisation. Errors in payroll computation affect employee trust; delays in statutory deposits attract penalties; incorrect TDS leads to disallowances. We manage your complete payroll cycle — computation, disbursement coordination, statutory filings and employee queries — with accuracy and confidentiality.
We collect attendance data, leave records and variable pay inputs from you by the 25th of each month. We process payroll, prepare the salary register and share it for your approval before disbursement. We simultaneously prepare all statutory challans (PF, ESIC, PT, TDS) and file them before their respective due dates. Payslips are shared with employees via email or a secure portal. We handle all employee queries on payroll and statutory deductions.
CMA data preparation, project reports, bank loan documentation and DSCR analysis for term loans
Securing a bank loan or financial institution funding requires professionally prepared project reports and Credit Monitoring Arrangement (CMA) data that present your business credibly and address lender concerns proactively. We prepare comprehensive, banker-friendly project reports and CMA data that improve the quality of your application and reduce back-and-forth with the bank.
We start with a detailed discussion on your project, funding requirement and existing financial position. We collect audited financials, bank statements and business details, then prepare projections based on realistic assumptions agreed with you. The CMA data and project report are shared as a draft for your review before finalisation. We also accompany you to bank presentations if needed and respond to any queries the bank raises during appraisal.
