The India compliance reality

India compliance is automatic and unforgiving

Over 100 recurring filings, deposits and returns a year for one entity. Penalties and interest apply without a notice.

Late TDS return

₹200 per day late fee, plus exposure to further penalties.

Late TDS deposit

Interest of 1% to 1.5% per month on the tax due.

Late GST return

A daily late fee plus 18% annual interest on tax due.

Late Registrar filing

An additional fee for each day of delay; sustained non-filing can disqualify directors.

MSME payments beyond 45 days

The expense deduction is denied until the vendor is paid.

Exports and directors

Undeclared export proceeds create FEMA exposure. Indian directors carry personal liability for certain defaults.

Why this matters to you

Suppose ₹5 crore of annual payments to Indian vendors goes out without the required TDS. The tax authority can disallow 30% of that expense (₹1.5 crore), adding about ₹38 lakh of tax at the concessional corporate rate, plus interest. That is more than five months of our fee, from one process gap.

Illustrative: depends on your actual spend and tax rate.

Build or outsource

The first 12 months are the riskiest to staff in-house

Hiring a team across accounting, tax, GST, payroll, company secretarial and FEMA takes months, and one resignation interrupts filings.

  • A managed team gives continuity from day one, with specialists across all these areas under one engagement.
  • Our fee includes hiring, equipment, software and training.
  • You can bring the function in-house later. We document processes so that option stays open.

Greenfield setup

From incorporation to your first clean close

PHASE 1

Foundation

Registrations sequenced, chart of accounts mapped to group reporting, SAP India configuration review, policy manual, compliance calendar.

PHASE 2

Alignment

Walk-through of your policies, close calendar and reporting packs; intercompany agreement and billing set-up; vendor master templates.

PHASE 3

Go-live

Dry-run close before the first month-end, first payroll, first GST and TDS filings, first export declaration.

PHASE 4

Stabilise

Review after the first quarter; refine checklists and service levels.

Our commitment

100% on-time statutory filings and deposits

For the services in scope, from the first statutory due date after go-live. If a penalty or interest arises from a default by Expertese, we reimburse it, capped at one month's fee ($8,000) per contract year, excluding taxes.

A default is a filing or deposit that is late or missed even though we received complete inputs by the agreed cut-off dates. Late or incomplete inputs, portal outages, government extensions and instructions to defer are outside this commitment. Tax payable remains the company's own liability.
