What is AS-3 / Ind AS 7 cash flow direct vs indirect method in Sembakkam, Chennai?
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.
Applicable Laws & Rules
SectionSection 128 and 129 of the Companies Act 2013 — Section 128(1) requires every company to keep books of account at its registered office on accrual basis and double-entry system; Section 128(2) read with Rule 3 of Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 permits electronic mode with back-up server in India; Section 128(5) preservation for 8 years; Section 129(1) financial statements to give a true and fair view in Schedule III format and comply with accounting standards notified under Section 133.
ScheduleSchedule III of the Companies Act 2013 — Division I prescribes Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit & Loss format for companies preparing financial statements under Indian GAAP (AS-1 to AS-29 notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021); Division II for companies preparing under Ind AS (Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015); Division III for NBFCs preparing under Ind AS. Notes formats, rounding-off, current vs non-current classification and ageing schedules for trade payables / receivables / borrowings are mandated.
SectionSection 43B(h) of the Income Tax Act 1961 inserted by the Finance Act 2023 effective 1 April 2024 (AY 2024-25) — sum payable to a micro or small enterprise registered under the MSMED Act 2006 beyond the time limit specified in Section 15 (45 days where written agreement exists, else 15 days) is allowable as a deduction only in the year of actual payment. Vendor master Udyam classification and aging report at year-end are mandatory for the bookkeeper.
Relevant Court Rulings
Supreme Court (2022)
Checkmate Services P. Ltd. v. CIT (2022) 448 ITR 518 (SC) — Supreme Court held that employees' contribution to PF and ESI deducted from salary is allowable under Section 36(1)(va) only if deposited within the due date specified in the relevant statute (15th of next month for PF). Section 43B due-date relaxation does not apply to employees' contributions. Strict bookkeeping of statutory dues aging is now indispensable for any tax-deductible salary cost.
SA-240
ICAI Standard on Auditing 240 'The Auditor's Responsibilities Relating to Fraud in an Audit of Financial Statements' read with Section 143(12) of the Companies Act 2013 — auditor must report fraud above ₹1 crore directly to the Central Government in Form ADT-4 within 60 days; below threshold to the Audit Committee/Board. Common fraud red flags include management override of controls, period-end journals without supporting documents, round-sum entries, vendor bank account changes, bank confirmations not received and ghost employees in payroll. Bookkeeping practice must produce an unbroken audit trail.

Comparison
Tally vs Zoho Books
Why this matters here — In Sembakkam, the cluster of residential, retail, small trade businesses that defines Sembakkam's commercial fabric; served by short connections to Selaiyur and Madambakkam and onward to central Chennai.
Aspect
Tally
Zoho Books
Accounting software
Desktop-installed double-entry package widely accepted in scrutiny proceedings; preferred for inventory-heavy businesses and statutory audit re-performance under SA 230 documentation standards
Cloud-hosted GST-ready ledger with API integrations and audit trail per Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 read with the proviso effective 1 April 2023
Engagement model
External professional retainer with peer-review oversight, ICAI Code of Ethics compliance, and SA 230 working-paper retention for 7 financial years per audit standards
Employed bookkeeper responsible to designated partner; HR cost, EPF and ESI exposure, plus Section 8 LLP Act 2008 joint-and-several compliance liability on partners
Posting cadence
Books closed each calendar month with monthly trial balance, GSTR-1 / GSTR-3B reconciliation, and TDS Section 200 deposit by the 7th of following month
Books closed once a quarter; works for very small turnover but raises Section 145(3) Income-tax Act rejection-of-accounts risk where transactions are dense and unrecorded gaps appear
Statutory framework
ICAI Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021 binding on every accounting entity
Trade-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 value
Section 34 of the Indian Evidence Act 1872 admits entries in books of account regularly kept as relevant; corroboration required for the truth of entries
Bankers' 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 period
72 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 pending
6 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 support
Section 143 Companies Act 2013 audit by an FCA on full books with SA 200-series testing; mandatory for every company regardless of turnover
Section 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 exposure
ICAI-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 error
Books 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 avoidance
Accurate books supporting bona-fide deductions within statutory framework — Brij Mohan v CIT SC accepts quality-of-books as evidence of bona-fide conduct in assessment
Fabricated 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
Books at registered office
Section 128 of the Companies Act 2013 mandates books at registered office; Board may resolve to keep at any other place in India with 7-day intimation to Registrar in AOC-5
Section 34(1) of the LLP Act 2008 requires books kept at registered office on cash or accrual basis; non-compliance attracts ₹25,000 to ₹5 lakh penalty on the LLP and partners
Audit trail feature
Rule 3(1) proviso of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 requires accounting software with edit-log audit trail effective 1 April 2023 — non-compliance reportable in CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b)
Manual ledgers permitted under Section 128 only where supported by mechanical or other devices; lack of audit trail invites scrutiny under Section 143(3)(j) auditor reporting requirements

Accounting & Bookkeeping in Sembakkam, Chennai 600073
Sembakkam is a residential growth corridor near Madambakkam with mid-tier apartments and supporting neighbourhood retail. Every Sembakkam engagement we open begins with the basics: PIN 600073, the Tambaram Division, and the coordinates 12.9183, 80.1556 that anchor the locality. Statutory correspondence for Sembakkam businesses routes through the Tambaram Division, so we align every Accounting & Bookkeeping engagement to that jurisdiction from the start. The 600xx geo-zone covering Sembakkam groups several locality clusters under common administration, keeping documentation expectations predictable.
Vendors and customers tied to the Sembakkam Bus Stop network show up across the invoice trail we reconcile for Sembakkam Accounting & Bookkeeping clients. Document pickup near Sembakkam Lake is a same-hour errand for our Sembakkam engagements rather than the half-day a typical Chennai client expects. Commercial activity in Sembakkam runs medium, so Bookkeeping volumes scale through peak months and we staff the Sembakkam desk accordingly. The businesses clustered around Sembakkam Lake in Sembakkam drive the bulk of the Accounting & Bookkeeping workload we see each cycle.
retail units around Sembakkam share recurring Bookkeeping patterns — input-credit timing, vendor reconciliation, and sector-specific documentation. The retail character of Sembakkam commerce influences everything from invoice formats to the supporting documents a Accounting & Bookkeeping review needs. Sector concentration matters: when Sembakkam leans toward retail, the Bookkeeping risks cluster around the same few line items each cycle. Mixed retail activity across Sembakkam means our Bookkeeping team keeps sector playbooks ready rather than improvising per client.
Our Sembakkam Bookkeeping process is built to be predictable, documented, and on time, cycle after cycle. We keep a repeatable Bookkeeping checklist for Sembakkam so nothing in the cycle is improvised or missed. Every Bookkeeping file we open for Sembakkam is reconciled, reviewed by a qualified practitioner, and archived for seven years. Fixed-fee scoping means a Sembakkam business knows the Accounting & Bookkeeping cost up front, with no surprise additions mid-engagement.
We treat Sembakkam and Madambakkam as one catchment for Accounting & Bookkeeping, which keeps documentation and turnaround consistent. Businesses straddling Sembakkam and Madambakkam get a single Bookkeeping point of contact rather than two. Accounting & Bookkeeping clients in Madambakkam are handled by the same practitioners who run our Sembakkam desk. A client relocating between Sembakkam and Madambakkam keeps the same Bookkeeping file and the same team.
Over several cycles in Sembakkam, the recurring Accounting & Bookkeeping issues cluster around a predictable short list we screen for early. Common patterns in the Tambaram Division give Sembakkam businesses an early-warning map we use to pre-empt Bookkeeping issues. Each engagement in Sembakkam adds to a record of what the Chennai South jurisdiction expects, sharpening the next Bookkeeping file. Recurring gaps in Sembakkam retail records are the first thing our Accounting & Bookkeeping review closes out.
We onboard new Sembakkam entities onto a Accounting & Bookkeeping cadence that is audit-ready from the very first cycle. New small trade ventures in Sembakkam lean on us to stand up Accounting & Bookkeeping correctly before the first deadline rather than after a notice. First-time Accounting & Bookkeeping for a Sembakkam business is where getting the basics right saves years of cleanup later. Incorporating in Sembakkam comes with jurisdiction, registration and Bookkeeping steps that we sequence so nothing stalls the launch.

People Also Ask — Bookkeeping in Sembakkam
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 Sembakkam businesses?
Best practice is monthly Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) before closing the trial balance and computing GST output liability for the period. For Sembakkam 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 Section 269ST cash receipt limit?
Section 269ST of the Income-tax Act prohibits cash receipt of ₹2 lakh or more from a person in aggregate on any single transaction or in respect of any one event. Section 271DA penalty equals 100% of the cash received unless reasonable cause is shown.
What is the Brij Mohan v CIT principle?
Brij Mohan v CIT SC recognised that the quality and maintenance of books of account is itself evidence of bona-fide conduct in tax assessment, supporting defence against Section 271(1)(c) concealment penalty where the accounting is contemporaneous, documented and audit-trailed.
Can monthly bookkeeping support advance-tax compliance?
Yes — monthly trial balances enable accurate quarterly book-profit estimation for advance-tax instalments under Section 211 of the Income-tax Act. Without monthly closing, Section 234B and 234C interest typically accumulates to a meaningful percentage of the tax demand.
What CARO 2020 clauses cover bookkeeping?
CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b) covers audit-trail and edit-log compliance under Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. Clause (xiii) covers related-party Section 188 compliance. Clause (xxi) covers consolidation-level reporting where applicable.
What is the Form 3CD tax audit report?
Form 3CD is the statement of particulars accompanying the Section 44AB tax audit report. It captures depreciation, related-party transactions, TDS-compliance status, GST-reconciliation, and 44-odd disclosure clauses required to be certified by the chartered accountant.
Can books be reconstructed if originals are lost?
Yes — books can be reconstructed from certified bank statements under the Bankers' Books Evidence Act 1891, GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B downloads, counterparty TDS certificates, and POS-system cloud backups. Section 145(3) rejection can be averted if reconstruction is timely and thorough.

Payroll register processed, PF / ESI / PT / TDS Section 192 deductions computed, statutory challans paid by 7th (TDS) and 15th (PF / ESI). Vendor TDS under Section 194C/J/H/I computed; quarterly Form 24Q / 26Q / 27Q ready data extracted in time for the 31 July / 31 October / 31 January / 31 May filings.
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.
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 Sembakkam clients usually ask next: For Sembakkam engagements specifically — for the professional and salaried population of Sembakkam navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.
Glossary
Plain-English glossary for this service
Accrued Expenses
Expenses incurred during the current period but not yet billed or paid. Recognised as expense in the period of incurrence with a corresponding liability under Other Current Liabilities, applying accrual basis of accounting.
Outstanding Expenses
Expenses for which the service has been received and the invoice raised but payment is pending as on the reporting date. Shown as a current liability under Trade Payables or Other Current Liabilities depending on counter-party.
Provision for Doubtful Debts
Provision created against debtors considered doubtful of recovery, charged to the profit and loss account and shown as a deduction from sundry debtors. Tax deduction available under Section 36(1)(vii) only on actual write-off, not on provision.
Depreciation Method WDV vs SLM
WDV (Written Down Value) charges depreciation on the reducing balance, used for income-tax under Section 32 block-of-assets system. SLM (Straight Line Method) charges equal depreciation across useful life, used for Companies Act Schedule II reporting. The differential generates deferred tax under AS-22.
Closing Stock valuation FIFO Weighted Average Cost vs NRV per AS-2
AS-2 requires inventory to be valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost can be computed under FIFO (First-In-First-Out) or Weighted Average formula consistently. NRV is estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Direct Expenses vs Indirect Expenses
Direct expenses are those attributable directly to the cost of goods or services produced (raw material, direct labour, manufacturing overheads) and appear above the gross-profit line. Indirect expenses are administrative, selling and distribution overheads appearing below gross profit.
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.
By Industry
Industry-specific patterns in Sembakkam
How the local trade mix shapes this — In Sembakkam, the cluster of residential, retail, small trade businesses that defines Sembakkam's commercial fabric.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CARO reportingPharmaceuticals
Mandatory CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b) reporting on audit-trail satisfied
Issue:A pharmaceuticals company entering its second year under Rule 3(1) proviso of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 (audit-trail effective 1 April 2023) had to ensure CARO 2020 Clause (xi)(b) reporting was unqualified. The statutory auditor required evidence that audit-trail was enabled at all times with edit-logs preserved, no admin override exercised, and back-up integrity maintained — failing which the report would carry qualification.
Approach:We obtained a written confirmation from the software vendor on audit-trail capability and SOC-2 controls, ensured the trail was enabled in production from financial-year start, configured automated backups with hash-verification, documented every admin-access event with reason, generated a quarterly audit-trail-status report signed by a designated partner, and made the documentation available to the statutory auditor for SA 315 risk-assessment testing.
Outcome:Statutory auditor issued unqualified CARO Clause (xi)(b) reporting; board-report disclosure under Section 134(3) carried positive compliance language; engagement deliverable expanded to quarterly audit-trail certification at no additional cost.
Why these Sembakkam engagements look the way they do: For Sembakkam engagements specifically — the cluster of residential, retail, small trade businesses that defines Sembakkam's commercial fabric; for the professional and salaried population of Sembakkam navigating personal-tax and home-office GST.
“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.”

Common questions from Sembakkam clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.
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.
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.
Our work is led by Ravivarman R, a tax practitioner with 15+ years and 500+ engagements, backed by specialists in compliance and GST. We base every Accounting & Bookkeeping recommendation on current law and your actual facts — not generic templates — and we are happy to explain the reasoning.
AS-29 / Ind AS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets' distinguishes three concepts. A provision is recognised when there is a present obligation arising from a past event, probable outflow of resources and a reliable estimate. A contingent liability is a possible obligation or a present obligation where outflow is not probable or cannot be reliably estimated — disclosed in notes only. A contingent asset is not recognised until virtually certain. Common items: pending litigation, bank guarantees, letters of credit, statutory demands under appeal, bills discounted with recourse and corporate guarantees. Schedule III Note disclosure is mandatory.
Two parallel computations are mandatory. Schedule II Companies Act 2013 Part C prescribes useful life — 60 years for buildings (factory 30), 10 years for furniture, 3-6 years for computers, 8 years for plant — with the rate derived as 1/useful life. Section 32 of the Income Tax Act applies block-of-asset method with WDV rates — 10% buildings, 15% plant & machinery, 40% computers, 30% intangibles. The book depreciation goes into the Statement of Profit & Loss while tax depreciation is claimed in the income tax computation. The difference creates timing differences accounted for as deferred tax under AS-22 / Ind AS 12.
Absolutely. Most Sembakkam clients complete the entire Bookkeeping process remotely — we collect documents on WhatsApp or email, share drafts for your approval, and file on your behalf. A visit to our Maduravoyal office is optional, never required.
Section 188 of the Companies Act 2013 requires Board approval for related party transactions and shareholder approval for material transactions exceeding prescribed thresholds (10% of turnover for sale/purchase of goods, 10% of net worth for borrowing/lending). Form AOC-2 disclosure of arm's length determination is annexed to Board's Report under Section 134(3)(h). AS-18 / Ind AS 24 require disclosure of name of related party, relationship, transaction value, outstanding balance, write-offs and pricing basis (arm's length or otherwise). KMP, relatives of KMP, holding/subsidiary/associate companies and entities under common control are within scope.
AS-1 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies' and Ind AS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' require the financial statements to be prepared on a going-concern basis unless management intends to liquidate or has no realistic alternative. Going-concern indicators per SA 570 (Going Concern) — recurring losses, negative net worth, working capital deficiency, default on borrowing, breach of debt covenants, supplier credit denial, withdrawal of customer support, key personnel exit, pending major litigation. Where material uncertainty exists, disclosure is mandatory in notes and the auditor reports under SA 570 with a separate paragraph.
Turnaround depends on the service and how quickly you share documents. Once we have a complete set, Bookkeeping for Sembakkam clients moves without avoidable delay, and we keep you posted at each stage. We give a realistic timeline upfront rather than an optimistic one.
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.
AS-15 (Revised 2005) and Ind AS 19 require defined benefit gratuity to be provided based on an actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) method. Companies with ≥ 50 employees must obtain an independent actuarial certificate annually with assumptions on discount rate (G-Sec yield), salary escalation, attrition and mortality (IALM table). Past service cost is recognised immediately. Under AS-15 actuarial gains/losses pass through P&L; under Ind AS 19 remeasurements are recognised in OCI without recycling. Gratuity liability beyond 5-year service vests under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 — even prior unvested liability is provided.
Yes. Along with Sembakkam, we serve Madambakkam and the wider Chennai South belt for Accounting & Bookkeeping. Wherever you are in this part of Chennai, the process and our 9566-068-468 line stay the same.
Section 13(2) of the CGST Act 2017 makes time of supply for services the earlier of invoice date or receipt of payment — GST is payable on advance received. For goods, Notification 66/2017-Central Tax exempts GST on advance receipts (except composition dealers). Bookkeeping entry on advance for services: Bank Dr to Advance from Customer Cr / GST Output Liability Cr. On invoice issue: Advance from Customer Dr to Sales Cr (and GST already paid is set off against invoice GST). Advance Receipt Voucher under Rule 50 must be issued and reported in GSTR-1 Table 11A/B.
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.
A BRS is the periodic reconciliation between the bank book balance (per ledger) and the bank statement (per pass book) explaining timing differences from cheques issued not yet presented, deposits in transit, bank charges, interest credit and direct debits. Standard practice is monthly reconciliation prior to closing the trial balance and computing GST output liability. Material unreconciled differences greater than 60 days are written back to suspense and reported under SA 315 risks of material misstatement. Daily BRS is recommended for businesses with > 100 daily bank transactions.
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.
