No. 01 / PracticeEst. 2014 · Delhi NCR

Quiet, exacting GST counsel for businesses that can't afford guesswork.

I'm Lakshay — a chartered accountant focused exclusively on Indian indirect tax. I work with growing companies, in-house finance teams, and cross-border counsel on GST advisory, departmental representation, and litigation.

02 / Practice

A single specialism. A serious one.

The practice is deliberately narrow. GST is unforgiving — rates change, departments interpret aggressively, and the cost of a wrong position compounds quickly. Working with one specialist, rather than a generalist firm, is usually the cheaper outcome.

01
GST advisory
Structuring transactions, classification, place-of-supply, ITC eligibility, valuation and tax optimisation for ongoing operations.
02
Litigation & representation
End-to-end handling of departmental notices, audit observations, summons, appeals before CGST/SGST authorities, AAR/AAAR, and Tribunal.
03
Compliance & health checks
Annual return filings, GSTR-9/9C, reconciliations, periodic GST health audits and SOPs for in-house finance teams.
04
Cross-border & FTP
Imports, exports, SEZ, refunds, RoDTEP, advance authorisations, and indirect-tax aspects of inbound investments into India.

"I'd rather argue one position thoroughly than file ten quickly. Indirect tax is detail work — clients hire me because I treat it that way."

Lakshay handled a Section 74 notice that two larger firms had given up on. Got the demand vacated at first appellate. We retain him on call now.

Detail-obsessed in the way you want a tax counsel to be. Reads the file before the meeting, every time. Rare.

Took the time to actually train our finance team on GSTR-9C — not just file it. The audit went through without a single observation.
