Transfer Pricing & Form 3CEB
The moment your Indian entity transacts with a group company abroad — a services agreement, a management fee, an intercompany loan, even a cost recharge — transfer pricing applies, and the pricing has to be defensible at arm’s length. We benchmark the transaction, prepare the documentation the law requires and certify Form 3CEB.

Worth reading first
Your brand is not yours until you file — and 'we've used it for years' is a weak defence
Prior use counts for something in Indian trademark law, but proving it is expensive and uncertain. A filing costs a fraction of the dispute it prevents.

Who actually needs GST registration — and who is better off registering anyway
The turnover threshold is only one of several triggers. Plenty of businesses below it are still legally required to register, and some above it choose to register early for reasons that have nothing to do with the law.

Priced before we start
Every service on this site carries its fee. You get a written scope and a number before any work begins, and the invoice matches it.
Two people on every filing
Nothing goes to a department on one pair of eyes. A second professional reviews the return before it is submitted.
A person, not a ticket
You get a named associate who knows your file, reachable on WhatsApp, not a queue and a different voice every call.
We watch the calendar
Once you are on our books we track your due dates and reach out before the deadline, not after the late fee.
