Question 1

How do I start working with J Thakur & Company?

Accepted Answer

Book a free 30-minute consultation through our appointment page. We'll understand your entity and obligations, then send a clear, fixed-fee proposal. Once you approve, onboarding usually takes under a week.

Question 2

Do you work with clients outside Thane and Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve clients in 40+ cities across India entirely remotely, using secure document portals and video consultations. Physical presence is never required.

Question 3

Can you take over compliance that's already behind?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Clean-up of past periods is one of our most common first engagements. We assess what's pending, remediate gaps, and bring you fully current before running ongoing compliance.

Question 4

Are your fees fixed or hourly?

Accepted Answer

We work on transparent fixed fees. You'll know the exact cost before we begin, with no hidden charges or year-end surprises. Complex advisory or audit work is quoted after a short scoping assessment.

Question 5

Do prices include government fees and challans?

Accepted Answer

Our service fee and applicable government fees are shown separately so you always know what you're paying and to whom. Statutory taxes, stamp duty and government charges are billed at actuals.

Question 6

Is GST applicable on your fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our professional fees are subject to GST as per law, which is shown clearly on every invoice and is generally available to you as input tax credit if you are registered.

Question 7

Which income tax regime should I choose?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your deductions and income mix. For every return we compute your tax under both the old and new regimes and recommend the one that results in lower tax for you.

Question 8

What happens if I've received an income tax notice?

Accepted Answer

Don't panic — most notices are routine. Basic notice and rectification support for returns we file is included, and we handle more complex assessments and appeals as a separate engagement.

Question 9

When are the main compliance due dates?

Accepted Answer

Key recurring dates include TDS payment by the 7th, GSTR-1 by the 11th, GSTR-3B by the 20th, and PF/ESI by the 15th of each month, with ROC and ITR deadlines through the year. We track all of them for you.

Question 10

Is GST registration mandatory for my business?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your turnover, whether you make inter-state supplies, and your business type. We assess your situation and register you only where the law requires it.

Question 11

What if I miss a GST return deadline?

Accepted Answer

Late fees and interest accrue daily, and your customers may lose input credit. Our shared calendar and reminders are specifically designed to prevent missed deadlines.

Question 12

Private limited company or LLP — which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

A private limited company suits businesses planning to raise funds or issue ESOPs; an LLP suits closely-held or professional firms wanting lower compliance. We recommend the right fit for your goals.

Question 13

What are the penalties for missing ROC filings?

Accepted Answer

ROC late fees accrue at ₹100 per day per form with no upper cap, and directors can be disqualified. We maintain a tracked calendar so your company always stays in good standing.

Question 14

How do you keep my financial data confidential?

Accepted Answer

We use secure, access-controlled document portals and follow the ICAI Code of Ethics on client confidentiality. Your data is shared only with the professionals working on your engagement.

Question 15

Who actually handles my work — a CA or junior staff?

Accepted Answer

Every return, audit and advisory note is reviewed and signed off by a qualified Chartered Accountant. Junior team members assist under supervision, but a CA owns the outcome.
