5. What is the GST registration threshold limit?

GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds: ₹40 lakhs for suppliers of goods (₹20 lakhs for special category states). ₹20 lakhs for service providers (₹10 lakhs for special category states). However, certain businesses must register regardless of turnover – e.g., inter-state suppliers, e-commerce operators, reverse charge mechanism applicants, and importers/exporters. Voluntary GST registration is also beneficial for input tax credit claims.

6. Which ITR form should I file?

ITR-1 (Sahaj): Resident individuals with salary/pension + one house property + other sources (interest) up to ₹50 lakh. ITR-2: Individuals/HUF with capital gains, foreign income, or more than one house property. ITR-3: Individuals/HUF with business or professional income. ITR-4 (Sugam): Presumptive income under Section 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE. ITR-5: Firms, LLPs, AOPs, BOIs. ITR-6: Companies (other than Sec. 11 exempt). ITR-7: Trusts, political parties, research associations.

7. When is a Tax Audit required?

Under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, a tax audit is mandatory when: Business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore in a financial year (or ₹10 crore if cash transactions are under 5%). Profession income exceeds ₹50 lakhs. Presumptive scheme opted but profit declared lower than prescribed limit under 44AD/44AE/44ADA. The tax audit report must be filed by 30th September for non-TP cases. ExFinserv conducts tax audits for all entity types.

8. What is Professional Tax in Maharashtra, and who must pay it?

Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax levied by the Maharashtra government under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975. PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) is required for employers who deduct PT from employee salaries and deposit it to the government. PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate) is for self-employed professionals and businesses. The maximum PT liability is ₹2,500 per year. Non-compliance attracts penalties and late fees.

9. How does ExFinserv maintain client confidentiality?

Client confidentiality is a core professional obligation for Financial & Tax Consultants under the professional confidentiality standards. ExFinserv strictly adheres to these principles: All client data and financial information is treated as strictly confidential. We never share your information with third parties without your explicit written consent. Our team signs confidentiality agreements. We use encrypted communication channels and secure cloud storage for all documents. Your data is never used for marketing or shared with unrelated entities.

10. Does ExFinserv serve clients outside Pune (PAN India)?

You can share documents securely via email or WhatsApp, and we handle everything remotely. We have clients in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Nashik, Kolhapur, and across Maharashtra and India. Physical meetings are available at our Pune or Pandharpur offices.

11. How do I get started with an online CA service?

Getting started is simple: Step 1 – WhatsApp or call us at +91 91759 43786. Step 2 – Tell us your requirement (ITR filing, GST, company formation, etc.). Step 3 – We'll send you a document checklist. Step 4 – Share documents via WhatsApp or email. Step 5 – We complete the filing/registration and send you confirmation. The entire process is paperless and can be completed from the comfort of your home.

12. What documents are typically needed for ITR filing?

The documents required depend on your income type. Generally: PAN Card and Aadhaar Card. Form 16 (if salaried – issued by employer). Bank statements for all accounts. Interest certificates from FDs/savings. Investment proofs for deductions under 80C, 80D, etc. Capital gains statements from broker/mutual fund. Rental income – rent agreement and receipts. Home loan statement if claiming HRA or housing loan interest. Our team will send you a customised checklist based on your profile.

13. Why should I use a CA instead of filing ITR myself on the income tax portal?

While the income tax portal allows self-filing, a CA brings significant value: Accurate form selection – choosing the wrong ITR form is a common self-filing mistake. Maximum deduction claims – a CA identifies all eligible deductions you may miss. Capital gains computation – complex for stocks, mutual funds, property. Error-free filing – reduces chances of notices, defective returns, or mismatch. Tax optimisation – restructuring income and investments for lower tax. Notice handling – if a notice is received, your CA responds on your behalf. The CA fee is almost always offset by tax savings and peace of mind.

14. What is the difference between PTRC and PTEC?

PTRC (Professional Tax Registration Certificate) is obtained by an employer – any entity (company, LLP, firm, individual) that employs staff and deducts professional tax from salaries. The employer collects PT from employees and deposits it to the Maharashtra government. PTEC (Professional Tax Enrollment Certificate) is for self-employed professionals and businesses – CA, doctors, lawyers, traders, etc. – who pay their own professional tax directly. Both are required where applicable. PTRC is issued for employer obligations; PTEC for individual/business liability.

15. What is TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and when is it applicable?

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is a mechanism under the Income Tax Act where the payer deducts a specified percentage of tax before making certain payments and deposits it with the government on behalf of the recipient. It applies to: Salary payments (Section 192). Professional / contractor fees (Section 194C/194J). Interest income from banks (Section 194A). Rent (Section 194I). Property transactions (Section 194IA). The recipient can claim TDS credit when filing their ITR. TDS returns (Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q) must be filed quarterly. Failure to deduct or deposit TDS attracts interest and penalties.
