Year-End Provisions Curated

Audit fee, leave encashment, gratuity (with actuarial coordination), bonus, performance incentive and contingent liability disclosures booked at year-end under AS-15 / Ind AS 19 and AS-29 / Ind AS 37 — no auditor's adjusting entry.

Ind AS Migration Capability

For Padi companies crossing the ₹250 crore net worth threshold, Ind AS migration is handled with Ind AS 116 Right-of-Use lease accounting, Ind AS 109 ECL on financial assets and the Ind AS 115 5-step revenue model.

Every transaction is recognised, measured and disclosed under the applicable AS or Ind AS. Going concern (AS-1 / Ind AS 1), revenue (AS-9 / Ind AS 115), inventory (AS-2 / Ind AS 2), employee benefits (AS-15 / Ind AS 19) — all enforced at the entry level.

Key Benefits

What Padi Clients Get

Every Accounting & Bookkeeping engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

MIS Dashboard for Owner Clarity
Monthly MIS dashboard for Padi owners — top-line, gross margin, EBITDA, debtors days, creditors days, inventory days, working capital cycle, fixed cost coverage and bank limit utilisation. Numbers translated to operating decisions, not just accounting outputs.

Books for Padi clients are produced to give a true and fair view under Section 129(1) read with Schedule III. Statutory auditor under Section 143 receives clean files — no qualification, no adverse opinion, no disclaimer.

GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B Match Improved
Monthly purchase register reconciliation against GSTR-2B for Padi clients moves the GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B match ratio above 98% — ITC reversal with 24% interest under Rule 36(4)(b) eliminated.
Section 43B(h) MSME Tax Risk Eliminated
Year-end aging report flags Udyam-classified vendor balances unpaid beyond 45 days and feeds the Form 3CD clause 22 schedule — no surprise disallowance under Section 43B(h) at assessment for the Padi client.

Statutory frameworkICAI Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 binding on every accounting entityTrade-customary recordkeeping without standards reference; AO may invoke Section 145(3) of the Income-tax Act 1961 to reject books for non-conformity with notified accounting standards
Evidentiary valueSection 34 of the Indian Evidence Act 1872 admits entries in books of account regularly kept as relevant; corroboration required for the truth of entriesBankers' Books Evidence Act 1891 makes certified bank-statement copies admissible as prima facie proof, frequently relied on where party-maintained books are rejected by AO
Retention period72 months from due date of annual return under Section 35(1) of the CGST Act 2017 read with Rule 56 of CGST Rules; longer if appeal pending6 financial years from end of relevant assessment year under Rule 6F and Section 44AA read with Section 149 reassessment window of 10 years for high-value escapements
Audit supportSection 143 Companies Act 2013 audit by an FCA on full books with SA 200-series testing; mandatory for every company regardless of turnoverSection 142(2A) of the Income-tax Act 1961 special audit ordered by AO where books are complex or correctness doubted; cost borne by the Central Government post-2007 amendment
Books-rejection exposureICAI-compliant books supported by vouchers and bank reconciliation resist Section 145(3) rejection — CIT v Rai Bahadur Hardutroy Motilal Chamaria SC permits revised accounts in genuine errorBooks exposing CIT v Vegetable Products SC Section 145(3) rejection followed by best-judgment assessment under Section 144 with adverse inference on undisclosed turnover
Tax planning vs avoidanceAccurate books supporting bona-fide deductions within statutory framework — Brij Mohan v CIT SC accepts quality-of-books as evidence of bona-fide conduct in assessmentFabricated entries to suppress income trigger McDowell v CTO SC anti-avoidance doctrine and Satyam Computer Services case-style securities fraud plus Section 277 prosecution
Monthly fee₹5,000 per month all-inclusive — software-agnostic, monthly TB plus GST and TDS reconciliation, quarterly review with designated partner, no hidden audit-support charges₹25,000 to ₹35,000 monthly salary plus EPF, ESI, gratuity accrual, leave, and supervision cost — total cost-to-company typically ₹4 lakh to ₹6 lakh per annum

Accounting & Bookkeeping in Padi, Chennai 600050

Padi (PIN 600050) falls under the Ambattur Division of the Chennai North, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN. Because PIN 600050 sits inside the Chennai North jurisdiction, the handling office for Padi stays consistent across years, which matters when filings or approvals span cycles. Businesses registered in Padi share the Chennai North jurisdiction, and their statutory matters route through the same Ambattur Division each time. Approvals, acknowledgements and queries for Padi businesses tie back to the Ambattur Division, so our Bookkeeping cadence accounts for how that office works.

Most commerce in Padi — invoices, expenses, purchases and statutory records — eventually surfaces in the Bookkeeping working file we maintain for clients here. The businesses clustered around TI Cycles (Murugappa Group) in Padi drive the bulk of the Accounting & Bookkeeping workload we see each cycle. Freight and foot traffic from the Padi Pudunagar Bus Stop hub pull steady daily commerce through Padi, so there is rarely a quiet filing month in this industrial residential mixed pocket. The industrial residential mixed mix of Padi shapes what lands in our workpapers — a blend of industrial activity and the commercial pulse around TI Cycles (Murugappa Group).

The business mix in Padi centres on retail, and that sector carries its own Accounting & Bookkeeping quirks we plan for in advance. The retail firms we serve in Padi value a Bookkeeping partner who already understands their sector's compliance rhythm. Sector concentration matters: when Padi leans toward retail, the Bookkeeping risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle. The retail character of Padi commerce influences everything from invoice formats to the supporting documents a Accounting & Bookkeeping review needs.

Document intake for Padi clients runs over WhatsApp, so there is no office visit and no paper shuffle for a Accounting & Bookkeeping engagement. From the first Accounting & Bookkeeping cycle, a Padi engagement is set up to be audit-ready rather than reconstructed under pressure later. Working papers for Padi Accounting & Bookkeeping engagements stay archived and retrievable, which makes any later notice or query straightforward to answer. Fixed-fee scoping means a Padi business knows the Accounting & Bookkeeping cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement.

From the same Padi team we also serve Anna Nagar West and other nearby localities without re-onboarding clients. We treat Padi and Anna Nagar West as one catchment for Accounting & Bookkeeping, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent. Businesses straddling Padi and Anna Nagar West get a single Bookkeeping point of contact rather than two. A client relocating between Padi and Anna Nagar West keeps the same Bookkeeping file and the same team.

Each engagement in Padi adds to a record of what the Chennai North jurisdiction expects, sharpening the next Bookkeeping file. The Accounting & Bookkeeping mistakes we see most in Padi are avoidable with disciplined intake, which our checklist enforces. Common patterns in the Ambattur Division give Padi businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt Bookkeeping issues. Recurring gaps in Padi industrial records are the first thing our Accounting & Bookkeeping review closes out.

For a new business incorporating in Padi or shifting its principal place of business here, Accounting & Bookkeeping setup is one of the first things to get right. When a Ambattur business expands into Padi, we extend its Bookkeeping setup to PIN 600050 without disruption. Incorporating in Padi comes with jurisdiction, registration and Bookkeeping steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch. New retail ventures in Padi lean on us to stand up Accounting & Bookkeeping correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice.

People Also Ask — Bookkeeping in Padi
Are bookkeeping records mandatory under Indian law?
Yes. Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 makes books of account mandatory for every company, on accrual basis and double-entry system, preserved for 8 years. Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act mandates books for professionals (with gross receipts > ₹1.5 lakh in 3 years) and for businesses (turnover > ₹10 lakh in 3 years). Section 35 of the CGST Act 2017 requires every registered person to maintain inward and outward supply records, stock registers, ITC registers and tax payable/paid registers.
What is the difference between Tally Prime and Zoho Books?
Tally Prime is the dominant on-premise accounting software for Indian SMEs — strong on Schedule III/VI reporting, multi-godown inventory, statutory GST/TDS compliance, e-invoicing and payroll. Zoho Books is cloud-first SaaS with multi-user collaboration, integrated CRM, automated bank feeds, project billing and Indian-localised GST modules. Tally Prime suits manufacturing, trading and Schedule III companies; Zoho Books suits service businesses, freelancers and proprietorships preferring cloud access. We standardise based on transaction volume, multi-user need and audit requirements.
How frequently should bank reconciliation be done for Padi businesses?
Best practice is monthly Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) before closing the trial balance and computing GST output liability for the period. For Padi businesses with > 100 daily bank transactions or with multiple OD / CC / term loan accounts, weekly or daily BRS is recommended. Material unreconciled differences > 60 days are written back to suspense and reported as risk of material misstatement under SA 315. The auditor obtains a direct bank confirmation under SA 505 at year-end to validate the closing reconciliation.
What is the difference between depreciation under Schedule II Companies Act and Section 32 IT Act?
Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful life — buildings 60 years, factory buildings 30 years, plant & machinery 8 years (continuous process plant 25 years), furniture 10 years, computers 3 years (servers 6 years) — with rate derived as 1/useful life on SLM or WDV basis. Section 32 of the Income Tax Act applies block-of-asset method on WDV basis with notified rates — buildings 10%, plant 15%, computers 40%, intangibles 30%, motor vehicles 15%. The book vs tax depreciation difference is a timing difference booked as AS-22 / Ind AS 12 deferred tax.
What is Section 43B(h) MSME and how does it impact my year-end bookkeeping?
Section 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act, inserted by Finance Act 2023 from AY 2024-25, disallows deduction for any sum payable to a micro or small enterprise (registered under Udyam) beyond the time limit in Section 15 of the MSMED Act 2006 — 45 days where written agreement exists, else 15 days. Such sums are allowable only in the year of actual payment. Year-end aging of Udyam-classified vendors is extracted, unpaid balances are added back in the tax computation (Form 3CD clause 22) and a payment plan for early-clearance is recommended.
What is the difference between AS framework and Ind AS framework?
AS framework refers to Accounting Standards AS-1 to AS-29 notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 — applied by non-Ind AS companies. Ind AS framework refers to Indian Accounting Standards Ind AS 1 to 116 notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 — converged with IFRS and applicable to listed companies, companies with net worth ≥ ₹250 crore, holding/subsidiary/associate/JV of such, and NBFCs above ₹500 crore. Ind AS introduces fair-value measurement, ECL on financial assets (Ind AS 109), Right-of-Use lease accounting (Ind AS 116) and the 5-step revenue model (Ind AS 115).
What is the role of digital signature in bookkeeping?

Digital signature is required for filing returns under the Information Technology Act 2000 — Form GSTR-9, Form 3CD tax audit, MCA21 annual filings, and TDS returns. Designated partner or director DSC must be Class 3 with appropriate validity period.

How are intangibles recorded in books?

Intangibles are recorded at cost on acquisition per ICAI AS-26 and amortised over useful life. Section 32(1)(ii) of the Income-tax Act allows 25% depreciation on intangibles like patents, copyrights, trademarks and goodwill on actual-cost basis subject to specified conditions.

What is the difference between AS-1 disclosure and AS-5 prior-period?

ICAI AS-1 requires disclosure of accounting policies adopted and any changes therein. ICAI AS-5 governs net-profit-or-loss for the period including prior-period items, extraordinary items and changes in accounting estimates, requiring separate disclosure and quantification of impact.

How is goodwill amortised after Finance Act 2021?

Finance Act 2021 withdrew depreciation on goodwill of a business or profession with effect from 1 April 2020. ICAI AS-14 for amalgamation goodwill and AS-26 for purchased goodwill continue to apply for accounting purposes notwithstanding the income-tax non-allowability.

What is the engagement scope of FilingProChennai bookkeeping retainer?

Accounting & Bookkeeping in Chennai () is delivered at FilingPro under Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 — books on accrual basis, double-entry, audit-trail edit-log enabled (mandatory under Rule 3(1) Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 from 1 April 2023), preserved for 8 years and produced in Schedule III Division I (or Division II for Ind AS) format every month. Tally Prime, Zoho Books or QuickBooks — your software, our discipline.

Why accounting & bookkeeping matters for your business

Form 3CD 44 Clauses Schedule-Ready

Form 3CD clause-wise schedules — clause 13 method, 14 inventory, 17 land/building 50C, 18 depreciation, 21 disallowance, 22 MSME 43B(h), 26 Section 43B, 31 269SS/T, 34 TDS, 44 GST expenditure — all extracted directly from the Tally trial balance with no last-minute scramble.

CARO 2020 21 Clauses Pre-Documented

PPE register, inventory physical verification, loans & investments, Section 185/186, deposits, statutory dues aging, undisclosed income, loan default, fraud reporting, NBFC compliance and cash losses — all CARO 2020 21 clauses prepared in advance for the Chennai client's auditor.

GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B Match Improved

Monthly purchase register reconciliation against GSTR-2B for Chennai clients moves the GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B match ratio above 98% — ITC reversal with 24% interest under Rule 36(4)(b) eliminated.

How the engagement runs end to end

Onboarding & Opening Balance Migration

For Chennai clients FilingPro collects prior audited financials, last trial balance and tax computation; verifies opening balances of fixed assets, debtors, creditors, statutory dues, deferred tax, advance tax / TDS receivable; and migrates to Tally Prime / Zoho Books with Schedule III re-grouping. Vendor master is built with Udyam classification.

Daily / Weekly Voucher Posting

Sales, purchase, cash, bank, journal and contra vouchers posted as documents flow on WhatsApp from the Chennai client. RCM bills under Section 9(3) booked separately with self-invoice. Capex segregated for AS-10 / Ind AS 16 PPE register and Section 32 block-of-asset addition.

Monthly BRS + GSTR-2B Reconciliation

Bank statements imported and BRS finalised for every account. Purchase register reconciled against GSTR-2B — supplier-not-filed, value mismatch, rate mismatch and 17(5)-blocked items flagged. Output GST liability reconciled with sales register; reverse charge under Section 9(3) brought to account.

What FilingPro brings to the engagement

Tally Prime Senior Hands

FilingPro accountants have built and re-grouped Tally Prime ledgers continuously since the Tally 9 era. Schedule III Division I/II re-classification, multi-godown inventory and statutory GST/TDS templates pre-wired for Chennai clients.

ICAI Accounting Standards Compliance

Every transaction is recognised, measured and disclosed under the applicable AS or Ind AS. Going concern (AS-1 / Ind AS 1), revenue (AS-9 / Ind AS 115), inventory (AS-2 / Ind AS 2), employee benefits (AS-15 / Ind AS 19) — all enforced at the entry level.

Schedule III Format from Day 1

For Chennai companies the trial balance is mapped to Schedule III current/non-current classification and ageing schedules from day 1 — no year-end re-grouping cycle, no auditor re-opening of vouchers.

What Padi clients usually ask next: Closer to Padi, for Padi units balancing production cycles with monthly GST and quarterly TDS compliance.

Glossary

Plain-English glossary for this service

Capital vs Revenue Expenditure

Capital expenditure creates an enduring benefit or asset and is capitalised on the balance sheet, depreciated over useful life. Revenue expenditure is consumed within the year and charged to the profit and loss account. Misclassification triggers Section 37 or Section 32 challenges.

Personal vs Real vs Nominal accounts

Traditional account classification: Personal accounts relate to persons (debtors, creditors, capital); Real accounts relate to assets (cash, building, stock); Nominal accounts relate to expenses, incomes, gains and losses. Each class follows specific debit and credit rules under the golden rules of accounting.

Cash book

Subsidiary book that records all cash and bank receipts and payments in chronological order. Acts as both a journal and a ledger for cash and bank columns. Reconciled monthly to bank statements via the BRS.

Day book

Book of original entry where each transaction is recorded as it occurs, before being posted to the ledger. In modern accounting software the day book is the journal voucher listing in chronological order.

Journal

Primary book of entry where transactions are first recorded in double-entry form showing debit and credit aspects with narration. All ledger postings flow from journal entries.

Ledger

Principal book of accounts containing individual account-wise summary of all transactions affecting that account during the period. Forms the basis for trial balance preparation.

Trial Balance

Statement listing all ledger balances classified as debit or credit as on a particular date, used to verify the arithmetical accuracy of postings and as the starting point for preparing final accounts.

Sundry Debtors

Aggregate of customers and parties from whom amounts are receivable on account of sales of goods or services on credit. Disclosed under Trade Receivables in Schedule III Division I current-assets group.

Sundry Creditors

Aggregate of vendors and parties to whom amounts are payable on account of purchases of goods or services on credit. Disclosed under Trade Payables in Schedule III with separate MSME and non-MSME sub-classification per Section 22 of MSMED Act.

Suspense Account

Temporary holding account used to record entries that cannot immediately be classified to a specific ledger pending investigation. Must be cleared by year-end; carrying balances invite audit qualification.

Bank Reconciliation

Statement reconciling the bank balance per cash book with the bank balance per bank statement as on a given date, explaining variances arising from outstanding cheques, uncleared deposits, bank charges, and direct credits.

Outstanding cheques

Cheques issued by the business and recorded as payments in the cash book but not yet presented to or cleared by the bank as on the reconciliation date. A reconciling item in the BRS.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Padi

How the local trade mix shapes this — Padi businesses operate where the business activity radiating outward from Padi Flyover and nearby commercial pockets.

Professionals & Consultants
Common issue: Doctors, architects and consultants record only banked fees and miss cash receipts and TDS-deducted receipts, so Form 26AS shows more income than the books, triggering a Section 143(1) mismatch notice.
How we handle it: Reconcile fee income to Form 26AS/AIS every quarter, book gross receipts before TDS with the TDS credit posted separately, and maintain a simple receipts-and-payments plus expense ledger for the presumptive or regular return.
Construction & Contractors
Common issue: Contractors receive running-account bills with retention money and mobilisation advances that are booked as plain income or expense, distorting turnover and hiding the retention receivable that matters for both tax and working-capital finance.
How we handle it: Account for each contract with separate ledgers for gross bills, retention receivable, mobilisation advance and TDS under Section 194C, and recognise revenue on certified work done so turnover and margin are stated correctly.
Retail & Trading
Common issue: Retail and FMCG traders run large volumes of small cash and UPI sales that are recorded late or in a spreadsheet, so the books never reconcile with the bank statement and GST output in GSTR-1 drifts away from the sales ledger, inviting Section 61 GST scrutiny of turnover.
How we handle it: Move to daily POS-to-ledger posting with weekly bank reconciliation, tag every sale with its GST rate at entry, and reconcile the sales register to GSTR-1 and the e-way-bill data each month before filing.
IT & Software Services
Common issue: IT-services firms bill overseas clients in foreign currency and book revenue on receipt rather than on accrual, mismatching the books against FIRC/e-BRC records and understating debtors, which distorts both the P&L and the Section 44AB audit position.
How we handle it: Recognise export revenue on invoice date at the RBI reference rate, track each invoice to its FIRC and e-BRC, and maintain a separate EEFC and receivables schedule so foreign-exchange gains and TDS credits reconcile at year end.
Manufacturing & Engineering
Common issue: Small manufacturers in and around Ambattur treat raw material, WIP and finished goods as one lump and value closing stock by guesswork, so cost of goods sold and gross margin swing wildly and the ITC on inputs is not matched to consumption.
How we handle it: Maintain a three-tier inventory ledger with a consistent valuation method, reconcile input ITC to a bill-of-materials consumption, and take a documented physical stock count at each quarter-end for audit-ready closing stock.
Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

Disaster recoveryRetail

Books reconstruction post fire-loss under Insurance and Income-tax claim regimes

Issue: A retail client's records were destroyed in an electrical fire — physical vouchers, registers, and the server hosting Tally data file. The client needed reconstructed books to file an insurance claim under Section 80 of the Insurance Act 1938 and to respond to a pending Section 143(2) scrutiny notice. Without books, Section 145(3) rejection followed by Section 144 best-judgment was inevitable.
Approach: We invoked the Bankers' Books Evidence Act 1891 to obtain certified statements from all bankers covering the disputed periods, sought GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B downloads from the GSTN, requested counterparty TDS certificates under Section 203 from major customers, reconstructed sales from POS-system cloud backups, mapped expenses from credit-card statements and supplier ledgers, and rebuilt opening stock from prior-year audited financials with quantitative reconciliation.
Outcome: Books reconstructed within 8 weeks; insurance claim of ₹42 lakh sanctioned; Section 145(3) rejection averted on demonstration of reconstructed books; scrutiny closed with ₹3.4 lakh addition; engagement protocol revised mandating off-site daily Tally backup.
Lender complianceEngineering

Working-capital lender covenant supported by clean books and timely BRS

Issue: An engineering company's ₹6 crore cash-credit facility carried monthly stock-statement, DP-statement, and book-debt-statement covenants. The previous bookkeeper had been filing inflated stock and debtor figures to maximise drawing power. A surprise concurrent audit by the lender flagged the inflation, threatening covenant breach, drawing-power reduction, and Section 447 fraud-charge under the Companies Act 2013.
Approach: We rebuilt accurate stock, debtor and creditor ledgers from physical-stock-take, debtor-confirmations under SA 505, and supplier-ledger reconciliations; revised the prior 12 months' stock statements with explanatory cover; engaged proactively with the lender's regional credit head; offered an enhanced-covenant package with quarterly auditor-attested stock statements; and obtained the lender's acceptance of the corrected position in a documented relationship review.
Outcome: Drawing power reduced from ₹6 crore to ₹4.8 crore on corrected stock; ₹1.2 crore short-term arrangement covered through partner loans under Section 269SS-compliant banking channels; Section 447 referral averted; engagement continued with monthly lender-reporting as add-on service.
Closing stock AS-2Retail

Closing stock at NRV avoided AS-2 audit qualification

Issue: A garments retailer with closing stock of Rs 68 lakh was valuing inventory at cost on FIFO basis. End-of-season unsold stock of approx Rs 14 lakh had been marked down 50% in store but was still being carried at cost in the books, breaching AS-2 paragraph 24 which requires lower of cost or net realisable value.
Approach: Conducted item-wise NRV assessment for end-of-season SKUs; wrote down Rs 7 lakh to align book value with NRV; introduced quarterly stock-valuation review with category-wise NRV testing; separated current-season and prior-season inventory in stock ledger.
Outcome: Audit qualification on AS-2 avoided; income-tax-deductible write-down of Rs 7 lakh claimed under Section 145A read with valuation method; clean inventory ageing for next FY.
Software migrationRetail

Tally migration to Zoho Books completed without audit-trail break

Issue: A retail chain migrated from Tally to Zoho Books mid-year. The audit-trail requirement under Rule 3(1) proviso of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 effective 1 April 2023 mandated continuous edit-log preservation. A naive migration risked breaking the chain — Tally edit logs ending at one date and Zoho logs starting later — exposing the company to CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b) qualified reporting and Section 128(6) penalty.
Approach: We froze the Tally environment with full data export and an independent CA's certification of closing balances, ran Zoho Books with opening balances as on migration date supported by a reconciliation statement, retained the Tally data file in read-only mode for 8 years per Section 128(5), ensured Zoho audit-trail was enabled from day one with admin override disabled, and obtained an SOC-2 report from Zoho establishing platform-level controls.
Outcome: Auditor issued unqualified CARO Clause (xi)(b) reporting; migration completed in 14 days without operational disruption; ₹8 lakh first-year saving on Tally enterprise renewal; engagement SOP updated for software-migration projects.

Why these Padi engagements look the way they do: Closer to Padi, the business activity radiating outward from Padi Flyover and nearby commercial pockets, which is why for Padi units balancing production cycles with monthly GST and quarterly TDS compliance.

“FilingPro took over our Tally Prime books from a mid-sized previous accountant. Within the first month they re-grouped the trial balance to Schedule III Division I, fixed three years of mis-classified leasehold improvements and reconciled GSTR-2B against our purchase register flagging ₹3.4 lakh of unmatched ITC. Audit closed without any qualification.”

FilingPro migrated 4 years of transactions to Zoho Books with full audit-trail preservation, mapped vendors with Udyam status for Section 43B(h) compliance and built a monthly MIS dashboard. Their attention to ICAI standards is genuinely senior-level work.”

“Ind AS migration of our trading company crossing the ₹250 crore net worth threshold. FilingPro handled Schedule III Division II re-presentation, Ind AS 116 Right-of-Use lease asset accounting for our 6 godowns and Ind AS 109 ECL on trade receivables. The first audited Ind AS financials went through cleanly with no auditor adjustment.”

Venkatesh M

“Our payroll for 38 employees was a mess — PF and ESI dues aging beyond Checkmate Services threshold. FilingPro re-architected the payroll register, set up daily statutory aging in Tally and ensured Section 36(1)(va) compliance. Tax audit Form 3CD clause 20 came through clean — no disallowance for the year.”

Lakshmanan P

“Year-end closure for FY 2024-25 was complex with the new Section 43B(h) MSME provision. FilingPro extracted Udyam-classified vendor aging from Tally, computed the 45-day cut-off and added back ₹17 lakh of unpaid balances in our tax computation. Form 3CD clause 22 was watertight.”

“Multi-entity consolidation for a holding company plus 3 subsidiaries — FilingPro took on Tally postings for all 4 entities, prepared elimination entries for inter-company sales and loans, and produced a consolidated Schedule III Division II Balance Sheet. The CARO 2020 21-clause reporting was audit-ready on day 1 of the engagement.”

Common Questions

Bookkeeping FAQ — Padi

Common questions from Padi clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act mandates tax audit where (a) business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore — increased to ₹10 crore where aggregate cash receipts and cash payments are each ≤ 5% of total receipts/payments; (b) profession gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh; (c) presumptive scheme assessees under Sections 44AD/44ADA who declare lower profits than presumptive rate or whose turnover exceeds presumptive limits (₹3 crore u/s 44AD if cash ≤ 5%, else ₹2 crore; ₹75 lakh u/s 44ADA if cash ≤ 5%, else ₹50 lakh). The auditor furnishes Form 3CA/3CB with Form 3CD before 30th September.
GSTR-2A is a dynamic, real-time auto-populated statement of inward supplies updated as suppliers file GSTR-1, GSTR-5, GSTR-6 and GSTR-7. GSTR-2B is a static monthly statement generated on the 14th — the basis for ITC eligibility under Section 16 of the CGST Act and Rule 36(4). Bookkeeping practice: every purchase ledger entry is reconciled monthly against GSTR-2B before filing GSTR-3B. Mismatches are categorised as supplier not filed, missing in books, value mismatch and rate mismatch. ITC claimed in GSTR-3B without GSTR-2B match is reversed under Section 50 with 24% interest under Rule 36(4)(b).
Yes — we handle Accounting & Bookkeeping for individuals and businesses across Padi (PIN 600050) and nearby Ambattur. The work is done end-to-end by our own team, with documents collected online over WhatsApp or email and in-person meetings available at our Maduravoyal and Nerkundram offices. Call 9566-068-468 to begin.
Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) under Section 9(3) of the CGST Act and Notification 13/2017-Central Tax requires the recipient to pay GST on specified supplies — GTA freight, legal services from advocates, director sitting fees, security services from non-body-corporate, sponsorship, import of services and OIDAR. Bookkeeping: on receipt of bill, Expense Dr to Vendor Cr (without GST). Separately RCM Liability: Input GST RCM Dr to RCM Output Payable Cr. RCM is paid in cash via GSTR-3B Table 3.1(d), and ITC of the same is claimed in Table 4(A)(3) in the same month (Section 16 read with Rule 36) provided self-invoice under Rule 46 is generated.
Form 3CD is the statement of particulars under Rule 6G(2) annexed to the tax audit report. It contains 44 main clauses + sub-clauses covering: clause 13 method of accounting, clause 14 inventory valuation, clause 17 land/building transfer 50C, clause 18 depreciation Section 32, clause 19 35-deductions, clause 20 deemed profit u/s 28, clause 21 disallowance Section 36/37/40/40A/43B, clause 22 MSME 43B(h), clause 23 payments to related persons 40A(2)(b), clause 26 Section 43B, clause 30C GAAR, clause 31 Section 269SS/T, clause 34 TDS compliance, clause 36A deemed dividend, clause 44 GST-wise expenditure. Books must be closed 30 days before audit to enable clause-wise schedule preparation.
The exact list depends on your case, but we send a short, plain-English checklist the moment you engage us — no jargon. Padi clients can share documents as phone photos or scans over WhatsApp on 9566-068-468, and we flag immediately if anything is missing.
Section 128(5) of the Companies Act 2013 requires books of account, vouchers and financial statements to be preserved for not less than 8 financial years immediately preceding a financial year. Where an investigation has been ordered under Chapter XIV, the Central Government may direct preservation for a longer period. Under Section 35 of the CGST Act 2017 records are preserved for 72 months from the due date of furnishing of annual return for that year. Under Section 44AA of the Income Tax Act read with Rule 6F books are preserved for 6 years from the end of the assessment year.
AS-5 'Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies' requires prior-period items to be disclosed separately in the current P&L so that their impact on current profit can be perceived. Ind AS 8 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors' takes a stricter retrospective restatement approach — material prior-period errors are corrected by restating comparative amounts of the prior period and the opening balance of equity for the earliest period presented. Voluntary changes in accounting policy are also retrospectively applied. Changes in accounting estimates are prospective only.
Not sure whether Bookkeeping applies to you? Call 9566-068-468 and describe your situation — we will tell you plainly whether you need it, when, and what it involves, before you spend anything. Many Padi enquiries start exactly this way.
AS-3 'Cash Flow Statements' and Ind AS 7 require classification of cash flows into Operating, Investing and Financing activities. Direct method (operating section) presents major classes of gross cash receipts and payments — sales, supplier payments, employees, taxes; gives clearer information but rarely used. Indirect method starts with profit before tax and adjusts for non-cash items (depreciation, provisions), working capital changes (debtors, creditors, inventory) and items relating to investing/financing. Section 129 mandates cash flow statement for all companies except OPC, small company and dormant company. Listed companies must use the indirect method as per SEBI LODR.
SA 315 (Revised) requires the auditor to identify and assess risks of material misstatement (RoMM) at the financial statement level and at the assertion level (existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation, presentation, classification, occurrence, cut-off and rights & obligations). The bookkeeper must support RoMM assessment by furnishing — entity-level controls documentation, IT general controls (Tally backup, audit trail under Companies Amendment Rules 2022), accounting policies under AS-1 / Ind AS 1, judgemental areas (provisions, estimates), related party register and significant transactions schedule. Audit trail edit-log in accounting software is mandatory from 1 April 2023 under Rule 3(1) Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014.
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, Bookkeeping for Padi clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
AS-9 recognises revenue on transfer of significant risks and rewards (sale of goods) and on a proportionate basis as services are rendered. Ind AS 115 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' applies the 5-step model — (1) identify the contract, (2) identify performance obligations, (3) determine transaction price, (4) allocate transaction price to performance obligations, (5) recognise revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied. The Ind AS 115 framework requires variable consideration assessment, financing component for deferred payments > 12 months, principal vs agent assessment and contract asset/liability disclosure.
CARO 2020 (Companies Auditor's Report Order issued under Section 143(11) of the Companies Act 2013) applies to all companies except OPC, small companies, banking companies, insurance companies and Section 8 companies meeting certain thresholds. It mandates auditor reporting on 21 clauses including (i) PPE & intangible records, (ii) inventory physical verification, (iii) loans & investments, (iv) Section 185/186 compliance, (v) deposits Section 73-76, (vii) statutory dues, (viii) undisclosed income, (ix) loan default, (xi) fraud reporting under Section 143(12), (xvi) NBFC compliance, (xvii) cash losses. Bookkeeping must produce loan schedules, FAR, statutory dues aging and stock physical verification reports.
Yes. Section 128(1) of the Companies Act 2013 requires every company to prepare and keep at its registered office books of account and other relevant books and papers and financial statements for every financial year giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company on accrual basis and double entry system. Section 128(2) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 permits books of account to be maintained in electronic mode provided they remain accessible in India at all times, are retained completely in their original format and a back-up server is located in India.
Books of account must be kept at the registered office of the company under Section 128(1). They may be kept at any other place in India by passing a Board resolution and intimating the ROC in Form AOC-5 within 7 days of the resolution. Where books are maintained in electronic mode under Rule 3 of Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014, the books must be accessible from India at all times, the back-up server must be located in India, and the company must intimate the ROC annually of the service provider name, IP address and location of service provider.
