Transparent pricing
for GST, ITR and compliance retainers.
Every price below is real. No “contact us for a quote”, no discovery call before you are allowed to know what something costs. Monthly/annual retainers for ongoing compliance & finance, specialised packages for growth and projects, and one-time services for registrations, filings & notices. Annual retainers include 2 months free.
Two things to read before the table: government fees are extra and charged at actuals — we do not mark them up, and we show you the receipt. And all fees are plus 18% GST. A headline price that excludes both and does not say so is how most of this market advertises.

What the plans are made of
Every line item above is a service with its own page — scope, process, documents and FAQs.
What “no lock-in” means
Fifteen days’ notice, in writing, any time. No minimum term, no exit fee, and we hand over your books, credentials and working papers within five working days. We would rather earn next month than trap you in it.
What happens in a heavy month
Sometimes a month is genuinely bigger than the tier — a departmental audit lands, or you acquire a second GSTIN mid-quarter. We will tell you before the work starts, quote the extra as a fixed number, and you decide. What we will not do is add it silently to the invoice.
Which tier
If you are unsure, take the lower one. Moving up is a conversation; moving down after paying for capacity you did not need is an irritation. Most businesses under ₹2 crore of turnover with one GSTIN are well served by the entry tier.
