A comprehensive GST consultant handles the entire lifecycle of indirect taxation, including:

Registration & Amendments: Applying for new GSTINs, handling core field amendments, and updating bank details to avoid suspension.

Monthly/Quarterly Compliance: Filing GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-4 (for composition dealers) accurately and on time.

Annual Reconciliations: Preparing GSTR-9 (Annual Return) and GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) for businesses crossing the specified turnover thresholds.

Departmental Representation: Drafting professional replies to Show Cause Notices (SCN) and representing the business during GST audits or assessments.

Choosing the right legal entity depends on your growth plans and the number of owners. In 2026, the most common options are:

Private Limited- Scalable startups seeking VC funding

LLP- Professional services & small businesses

One Person Co (OPC)- Solo entrepreneurs wanting limited liability

Partnership- Small, traditional family businesses

Note: For long-term growth and credibility with banks, the Private Limited Company remains the gold standard.

The UDIN is a system-generated alphanumeric code that follows a specific syntax to ensure traceability. For example, a code like 26304576AKTSBN1359 breaks down as:

First 2 Digits (26): Represent the last two digits of the current year (e.g., 2026).

Next 6 Digits (304576): Represent the ICAI Membership Number of the Chartered Accountant who signed the document.

Last 10 Digits (AKTSBN1359): An alpha-numeric system-generated random code that is unique to that specific document.

This structure ensures that every single certificate or audit report can be traced back to the exact year and the specific professional responsible for it.

Ensure your business documents are 100% compliant and verifiable. At RAAAS, we provide expert assistance in company registration, auditing, and professional certifications with seamless UDIN integration.

To register a company in Delhi, you generally need two sets of documents: one for the directors/shareholders and one for the registered office address.

For Directors & Shareholders:

Self-attested PAN Card (Mandatory for Indians) or Passport (for Foreigners).

Identity Proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or Driving License).

Address Proof (Bank Statement or Utility Bill not older than 2 months).

Passport-size photographs.

For the Registered Office (Delhi Address):

Proof of Address (Latest Electricity/Gas/Water bill).

No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner.

Rent Agreement (if the office is on lease).

In 2026, the MCA requires high-resolution, self-attested digital copies of:

Director/Subscriber Proofs: PAN card (mandatory), Aadhaar/Passport, and a bank statement or utility bill not older than 2 months.

Registered Office Proof: A utility bill (Electricity/Gas/Mobile) and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner.

GPS Details: Under the current V3 norms, precise GPS coordinates (Latitude & Longitude) of the registered office address are mandatory.

Constitutional Documents: Electronic versions of the MoA (INC-33) and AoA (INC-34).

While each structure has its merits, a Private Limited company is often the preferred choice for scaling startups due to:

Fundraising: It is the only structure that Venture Capitalists (VCs) and Angel Investors prefer.

Limited Liability: Protects personal assets from business debts.

Credibility: Enhances brand image with banks, vendors, and global partners.

Perpetual Succession: The legal entity continues regardless of changes in ownership.

1. Introduction: Understanding the Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is India’s most significant tax reform since independence, aimed at simplifying the country’s indirect taxation structure. Launched on 1st July 2017, GST consolidated multiple central and state taxes into a single tax regime. It applies to manufacturers, traders, service providers, freelancers, and e-commerce operators, among others.

At Ruchi Anand and Associates (RAAAS), we help businesses navigate the ever-evolving landscape of GST compliance—right from registration to filing returns and handling audits.

2. What is GST?

GST is a destination-based, value-added tax levied on the supply of goods and services. It has replaced taxes like VAT, CST, service tax, excise duty, and others. The tax is collected at every stage of the supply chain and allows seamless input tax credit (ITC), which ensures there’s no cascading effect of tax on tax.

Key Components of GST

CGST (Central GST): Collected by the central government on intra-state sales.

SGST (State GST): Collected by the state government on intra-state sales.

IGST (Integrated GST): Collected by the central government on inter-state sales and imports/exports.

3. Who Needs GST Registration?

As per GST laws, registration is mandatory for:

Businesses with aggregate turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for services; ₹10 lakhs for special category states).

E-commerce sellers regardless of turnover.

Inter-state suppliers of goods or services.

Input service distributors.

Businesses under reverse charge mechanism.

Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons.

Failure to register when required may result in heavy penalties.

4. Types of GST Registration

TypeDescriptionNormal TaxpayerFor businesses with turnover above the threshold limit.Composition SchemeFor small businesses with turnover up to ₹1.5 crores, offering reduced tax rates.Casual Taxable PersonFor individuals supplying goods/services occasionally.Non-Resident Taxable PersonFor foreigners or businesses without a fixed place in India.E-commerce OperatorsRequired to collect TCS under GST.

Introduction: Understanding the Importance of GST in India

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is one of the most transformative tax reforms in the Indian economy. Introduced on 1st July 2017, GST subsumed a variety of central and state-level indirect taxes, thereby simplifying tax compliance and fostering a unified national market. With the aim to bring transparency, eliminate the cascading effect of taxes, and improve ease of doing business, GST has become a cornerstone of India’s tax framework.

As a multi-stage, destination-based tax, GST applies to the value addition at every stage of the supply chain. Whether you’re a manufacturer, service provider, trader, or e-commerce operator, GST impacts every aspect of business operations. With frequent updates, evolving rules, and compliance deadlines, businesses must stay up to date.

This is where Ruchi Anand & Associates plays a crucial role—offering expert GST consulting, return filing, audit support, litigation assistance, and more.

What is GST and How Does It Work?

GST is levied at every point of sale and is ultimately borne by the end consumer. The seller collects GST and remits it to the government. The key components of GST include:

CGST (Central GST): Collected by the Central Government on intra-state sales.

SGST (State GST): Collected by the State Government on intra-state sales.

IGST (Integrated GST): Collected by the Central Government on inter-state sales and imports.

For instance, if a company in Delhi sells goods to a buyer in Haryana, IGST will be applicable. However, if the sale is within Delhi, CGST and SGST will apply.

Key Features of GST

One Nation, One Tax: GST replaced a long list of indirect taxes such as VAT, excise duty, service tax, and entry tax.

Input Tax Credit (ITC): Businesses can claim credit for taxes paid on purchases, helping reduce tax liability.

Online Compliance: Registrations, returns, refunds, and payments are processed online via the GST portal.

Threshold Exemption: Businesses with turnover below a certain threshold are exempt from GST (currently ₹40 lakhs for goods, ₹20 lakhs for services).

Composition Scheme: For small taxpayers, a simplified scheme with lower tax rates and minimal compliance is available.

GST Registration: Who Needs It?

GST registration is mandatory for:

Businesses with turnover exceeding the prescribed limit.

E-commerce sellers and aggregators.

Casual taxable persons and non-resident taxable persons.

Agents of a supplier and input service distributors.

Businesses involved in inter-state supply.

Failure to register when required can lead to heavy penalties and interest. At Ruchi Anand & Associates, we guide clients through seamless GST registration and regular compliance.

Input Tax Credit (ITC): A Game-Changer for Businesses

Input Tax Credit is the backbone of the GST structure. It allows businesses to claim credit for the GST paid on purchases and expenses used for business operations. To avail ITC, businesses must:

Possess valid tax invoices.

Ensure supplier has filed GSTR-1.

Ensure receipt of goods/services.

File their own GSTR-3B accurately.

Incorrect claims or mismatches can lead to notices or denial of credit. At Ruchi Anand & Associates, we provide detailed ITC reconciliation and advisory to safeguard your credits.

Common Challenges Faced by Businesses under GST

Frequent Regulatory Changes: Continuous updates in rates, rules, and notifications require constant monitoring.

Mismatch in ITC: Discrepancies between GSTR-2A/2B and purchase invoices can result in ITC loss.

E-invoicing Compliance: Applicable to businesses above ₹5 crore turnover, e-invoicing must comply with IRN and QR code requirements.

Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM): Businesses are liable to pay GST on specified goods/services received from unregistered dealers.

Sector-Specific Issues: Exporters, real estate developers, and e-commerce operators face unique compliance issues.

With 20+ years of experience, Ruchi Anand & Associates ensures your GST journey is hassle-free, compliant, and optimized.

GST Audit and Departmental Scrutiny

Businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore are required to conduct a GST audit and file GSTR-9C. Apart from this, the GST department can initiate audits or scrutiny assessments to verify compliance. Non-compliance or fraud may lead to:

Penalties under Section 122 of CGST Act.

Cancellation of GSTIN.

Interest demands and prosecution.

We provide end-to-end GST audit and litigation support, preparing replies to notices, handling summons, and representing clients before authorities.

Technology and GST Compliance

The GST regime heavily relies on digital platforms for registration, return filing, invoice generation, and refunds. To manage GST effectively, businesses must:

Integrate ERP/accounting software with GSTN.

Reconcile GSTR-2B and books monthly.

Generate e-invoices and e-way bills efficiently.

We offer GST automation tools and training to ensure accurate and real-time compliance.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

GST law imposes strict penalties for default:

Late Filing Fee: ₹50 per day (₹20 per day for NIL return).

Interest: 18% per annum on unpaid tax.

Wrong ITC Claim: 100% of wrongly availed ITC.

Fraud Cases: Up to 100% penalty, plus prosecution.

Proactive compliance is key to avoiding litigation and penalties. Partner with Ruchi Anand & Associates for robust GST risk management.
