In Surat the return and the GST filing have to tell the same story. The department cross-checks one against the other, and the single most common reason a Ring Road trader ends up in scrutiny is that the two numbers do not agree — usually for an innocent reason nobody explained at the time.
We regularly file from Ring Road, Sahara Darwaja, Mahidharpura, Hazira, Vesu and Piplod.
Presumptive taxation under section 44AD, with your reported gross receipts reconciled line by line against your GSTR filings. Inter-state stock transfers are a frequent cause of an apparent mismatch that is not actually a discrepancy at all.
Import and export compliance, depreciation schedules on plant and machinery, and foreign currency treatment. Commission agents in particular cannot use section 44AD and need ITR-3 with expenses properly documented.
Form 16 checked against Form 26AS, HRA and deductions claimed correctly, and both tax regimes compared before filing.
A textile wholesaler had reported roughly ₹1.2 crore of turnover in his income tax return while his GST portal showed about ₹1.4 crore. The difference was inter-state stock transfers, not concealed sales, but on the face of the two filings it looked like under-reporting.
We reconciled the two sets of figures, identified and documented the transfers that explained the gap, and revised the return so both filings agreed.
The discrepancy was resolved at the return stage rather than becoming a scrutiny case.
Anonymised, and described as it happened. Outcomes depend on your own facts — we will tell you what yours allow before we start.
A fixed ₹499, inclusive of GST, for a salaried or presumptive-business return. Nothing added afterwards. Roughly half what a Gujarat tax consultant commonly charges for a salaried return.
You can file your own return free of charge on the Income Tax Department portal at incometax.gov.in, with pre-filled data and free offline utilities. If your return is simple and you are comfortable doing it yourself, that route costs you nothing and we will say so plainly. People come to us when they want someone to check the figures and be accountable for getting it right.
Because the department compares them. Your GST filings are visible to it, and an unexplained difference between GST turnover and the receipts in your return is one of the clearest triggers for a query. We make the two agree, and where there is a legitimate reason for a difference we document it.
No. Income from commission or brokerage is excluded from the presumptive scheme under section 44AD, so a commission agent files ITR-3 with actual income and expenses. Filing ITR-4 instead is a common and avoidable error.
It covers a salaried return on ITR-1 or a presumptive business return on ITR-4, inclusive of GST. An ITR-3 with full accounts is quoted separately — one fixed figure, given to you before any work starts.
