Chennai's dedicated GST practice · GSTR-1 due 11th · GSTR-3B due 20th/22nd
Most of it happens without you leaving your shop counter. Share your documents on WhatsApp, approve the prepared draft, and your DRC-01/DRC-01A Demand Reply is completed on the portal from Rs.4,999 — by a Chennai team that businesses across Nungambakkam have relied on for years.
Share your number — a senior GST consultant calls you back within 30 minutes.
GST does not distinguish between a large showroom and a small service unit — the due dates and matching systems apply equally to both. Nungambakkam is prime corporate Chennai: banks, consulting firms and company headquarters on Nungambakkam High Road and Sterling Road, with luxury retail on Khader Nawaz Khan Road. Service exporters and consultancies dominate, so LUT renewals under RFD-11 each financial year, place-of-supply determinations on cross-border services and input tax credit on high-value office rentals are the recurring GST questions in this market. That is why our DRC-01/DRC-01A Demand Reply engagements in Nungambakkam follow the same discipline whatever the client's size: written checklists, reconciliation before filing and every acknowledgement archived. Businesses from Chetpet and T. Nagar run on the same process, entirely over WhatsApp if they prefer.
Not a bulk-filing portal. A senior consultant knows your file, your jurisdiction and your deadlines.
If your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B start drifting apart, if a large supplier stops filing, or if your turnover approaches the e-invoice threshold, we flag it to you immediately. Early warnings from our side are cheaper than departmental letters later.
Tally, Zoho Books, Busy, marketplace reports, plain Excel or even a handwritten bill book — we take your data in whatever form your Nungambakkam business already maintains it. You are never forced to buy new software or retrain staff just to become our client.
Your work is executed by trained GST staff working under direct senior supervision, not passed to interns learning on your file. The person preparing your return understands reverse charge, blocked credits and place of supply, because getting these wrong costs you money.
If a query, ASMT-10 scrutiny notice or DRC-01 arrives on a return we filed, we stand behind our work and help you draft the reply. You are not left alone with a departmental letter and a thirty-day clock ticking against you.
E-invoicing is mandatory once turnover crosses Rs.5 crore and e-way bills apply to goods movements above Rs.50,000. We set up, train and troubleshoot both systems, so your despatches from Nungambakkam are never held up by a compliance gap at the gate.
Freight paid to transporters, advocate fees, imported services and other notified supplies attract GST under reverse charge, with self-invoicing where the supplier is unregistered. We maintain a running RCM check every period, because this is the liability self-filers most consistently miss.
We examine whether the notice is under Section 73 or 74, check the limitation period, and break the demand into issues that can be defended separately.
Each issue is tested against your records, GSTR-2B and case law, and we give you a candid view of what is defensible and what is genuinely payable.
A detailed statutory reply is drafted in Form DRC-06 with reconciliations, invoices and legal grounds, shared for your approval and filed on the portal in time.
We represent you at the personal hearing. For any admitted liability we file DRC-03 promptly, using the concessional closure available under Section 73 where applicable.
We track the adjudication outcome, review any order in DRC-07, and advise on rectification or appeal in APL-01 within three months if the demand is confirmed.
Send these on WhatsApp (+91 - 9600 606 444) and we take it forward the same day.
Timeline: Draft reply in 5-7 working days · No hidden charges · GST invoice provided
Practical outcomes our clients measure us by.
Rates, reverse charge, place of supply and blocked credits are applied correctly at the preparation stage, so you neither overpay tax you do not owe nor underpay and invite demands with penalty later.
Correct e-way bills matched to correct invoices mean your consignments clear roadside inspections cleanly, avoiding detention proceedings whose penalties can far exceed the tax on the goods being carried.
When a query or verification comes, you respond through a professional who deals with the department regularly, in the department's own language and format, instead of facing an officer's letter alone.
When a business winds up, proper cancellation and a timely final return ensure the file is genuinely closed, so no demand or late-fee computation resurfaces against you long after the shutters came down.
Large buyers check vendor GST compliance before releasing payments and renewing contracts. A clean filing record with timely GSTR-1 uploads keeps your invoices reflecting in their GSTR-2B and your payments unblocked.
Loan applications and government tenders routinely demand GST returns and registration documents. With everything filed and archived properly, you can produce a complete compliance file within hours instead of days.
| Aspect | With ChennaiGST | DIY / Unattended |
|---|---|---|
| Goods in transit | E-way bills generated correctly and matched to invoices, so consignments pass roadside inspections without detention or penalty. | A defective or missing e-way bill can mean detention at a checkpoint, with penalties that dwarf the tax on the consignment. |
| Keeping up with changes | Rate changes, portal updates and new thresholds such as the Rs.5 crore e-invoice limit are tracked by us and applied to your case proactively. | Changes are discovered after the fact — often through a rejected filing, a blocked e-way bill or a departmental letter. |
| Risk of notices | GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-2B reconciled before filing, removing the mismatches that trigger most scrutiny notices. | Inconsistent figures across returns quietly build a mismatch history that surfaces later as ASMT-10 scrutiny or a demand notice. |
| When a notice arrives | A professional drafts the reply in the department's format and files it within the statutory window, such as thirty days for ASMT-11. | You face departmental language alone, and a missed reply deadline can convert a simple query into a demand with penalty. |
| Record keeping | Every return, challan, acknowledgement and working paper archived in an organised folder, retrievable in minutes years later. | Documents scattered across email, downloads and old phones; assembling records for a bank or an audit takes days. |
| Late fees and interest | Filings go in ahead of statutory dates, so the Rs.50-per-day late fee and 18 percent interest never arise. | Late fees accumulate silently every delayed day, and interest on unpaid tax runs at 18 percent per annum. |
Positions we rely on when preparing filings and drafting replies — with the exact citation, so you can verify each one.
Circular No. 169/01/2022-GST · 2022-03-12
The Board amended its earlier instruction on proper officers so that show cause notices issued by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence are adjudicated by specified Additional or Joint Commissioners of designated Commissionerates. Where a single investigation covers several taxpayers spread across different States, one officer now adjudicates the whole case instead of each jurisdiction passing its own order. The change is meant to avoid conflicting decisions and multiple parallel proceedings on the same set of facts.
What to do about it: If your Chennai business receives a DGGI notice that also covers group entities in other States, check that the case is being adjudicated by the single designated authority rather than replying separately in each jurisdiction.
Notification No. 9/2025-Central Tax (Rate), dated 17 September 2025, Schedule I entries for electrically operated vehicles and chargers · 2025-09-17
Electrically operated vehicles including two-wheelers and three-wheelers, fuel cell and hydrogen vehicles, e-bicycles and chargers or charging stations for electric vehicles remain in Schedule I at five per cent. Small petrol cars up to 1200 cc and up to 4000 mm, small diesel cars up to 1500 cc and up to 4000 mm and motorcycles up to 350 cc moved to eighteen per cent, while larger cars, hybrids above those limits and motorcycles above 350 cc were placed at forty per cent.
What to do about it: The tax gap between an electric two-wheeler at five per cent and a petrol motorcycle at eighteen per cent is now the single biggest pricing lever for Chennai vehicle dealers.
M/s. Maheswari Enterprises v. State Tax Officer — Madras High Court (Madurai Bench), W.P.(MD) Nos. 6245, 6247 and 6249 of 2021, decided 19 July 2021 (Nisha Banu J.) · 2021-07-19
Assessment orders were passed without hearing the taxpayer, the department arguing that no hearing had been requested. The Madras High Court set aside the orders and remanded the matters, holding that under Section 75(4) of the TNGST Act a personal hearing has to be given whenever the authority proposes to pass an adverse order, irrespective of whether the taxpayer specifically asked for one. A reasonable opportunity of hearing was directed to be given within three months.
Practical effect: An assessment order passed without offering you a personal hearing is vulnerable, whether or not you ticked the box asking for one in your reply.
