Statutory Update & Filing Notice

With continuous automation and real-time reconciliation across GSTN portals, Income Tax e-filing 3.0, and MCA-21 Version 3, statutory deadlines require proactive monthly discipline. Late filings attract mandatory late fees (u/s 234E & 234F of Income Tax, Section 47 of CGST Act), disqualification of directors, and loss of Input Tax Credit (ITC).
