OPC (One Person Company): Best for solo founders wanting corporate status with limited liability. Partnership Firm: Simplest structure, unlimited liability, suitable for small family businesses. Our Vadodara CA advisors help you choose the right structure based on your business goals, funding plans, and tax efficiency.
With complete documents, Private Limited Company and LLP registration typically takes 10–15 working days through the MCA21 V3 portal. OPC takes a similar timeline. Proprietorship and Partnership registrations can be done in 3–7 days. Delays can occur due to MCA portal downtime or document deficiencies. Our CA firm in Vadodara ensures a smooth, fast process with minimum client effort.
MSME/Udyam registration provides significant benefits: 1–2% lower interest rates on bank loans, priority sector lending, collateral-free loans under CGTMSE, 50% discount on trademark and patent filing fees, delayed payment protection under MSMED Act (payment within 45 days or interest at 3x RBI rate), Gujarat government subsidy schemes up to ₹35 lakh, exemption from certain compliances, and preference in government procurement. Registration is free on the Udyam portal and our CA team completes it for you including CA fee.

A Private Limited Company must comply with: filing AOC-4 (Financial Statements) within 30 days of AGM, filing MGT-7/7A (Annual Return) within 60 days of AGM, holding Annual General Meeting (AGM) within 6 months of financial year end, conducting Statutory Audit, filing ITR, maintaining proper statutory registers and minutes books, and filing event-based forms for changes in directors, address, share capital, etc. C M Patel and Company provides comprehensive annual ROC compliance packages for companies in Vadodara.
Late ROC filings attract additional fees on a graduated scale: ₹100 per day of delay (for most forms), with no upper cap. For AOC-4 and MGT-7, delays beyond specified periods attract significant additional fees and can also result in striking off the company from the MCA register. Directors of defaulting companies can be disqualified u/s 164(2). Our ROC compliance team in Vadodara tracks all deadlines and files proactively to avoid these penalties.
Annual LLP compliance includes: filing Form 11 (Annual Return) by May 30, filing Form 8 (Statement of Accounts & Solvency) by October 30, and Income Tax Return filing. LLPs with turnover above ₹40 lakhs or capital contribution above ₹25 lakhs require mandatory audit. Our Vadodara CA firm handles all LLP annual compliance efficiently to keep your LLP in good standing with the MCA.
Change of registered office requires board resolution, shareholder resolution (if changing state), and filing Form INC-22 with MCA. Appointment of a new director requires Form DIR-12, board resolution, and DIN of the incoming director. Resignation of director requires DIR-12 with relevant documentation. Our CA team in Vadodara handles all such event-based ROC filings promptly and accurately.
ITR filing is mandatory for individuals with gross total income above the basic exemption limit (₹3 lakh under New Tax Regime), all companies and LLPs regardless of profit/loss, individuals with foreign assets or foreign income, those claiming tax treaty benefits, and anyone required to get accounts audited. It is also advisable for anyone wanting to carry forward losses, apply for loans, or obtain visas. Our CA firm in Vadodara files ITR for individuals, firms, companies, and NRIs.
The general due date for filing ITR for individuals and non-audit cases is July 31. For businesses requiring tax audit, the due date is October 31. For transfer pricing cases, it is November 30. Belated returns can be filed by December 31 with a late fee of ₹5,000 (₹1,000 for income below ₹5 lakhs). Our income tax consultants in Vadodara ensure timely filing and optimal tax planning.
The Old Tax Regime allows multiple deductions such as 80C (₹1.5L), 80D (health insurance), HRA, LTA, home loan interest etc., with higher slab rates. The New Tax Regime offers lower slab rates but with very limited deductions (standard deduction of ₹75,000 for salaried, NPS employer contribution, and a few others). The default regime for FY 2024-25 is the New Regime. Our CAs in Vadodara do a detailed comparison of both regimes for each client to determine which results in lower tax outgo.
Advance Tax is tax paid in instalments during the financial year rather than as a lump sum at year end. It applies to individuals with tax liability exceeding ₹10,000 after TDS. Instalments are due on June 15 (15%), September 15 (45%), December 15 (75%), and March 15 (100%). Non-payment or shortfall attracts interest u/s 234B and 234C. Our tax consultants in Vadodara calculate and remind clients of all advance tax instalments.
Key legal tax-saving instruments under the Old Regime include: 80C (PPF, ELSS, NSC, life insurance, home loan principal – up to ₹1.5L), 80D (health insurance premium), 80CCD(1B) (NPS – additional ₹50,000), HRA exemption for salaried, home loan interest deduction u/s 24(b), and 80G (donations). For businesses, expense claims, depreciation, and investment deductions offer additional savings. Our CA firm in Vadodara provides personalised tax planning to minimise your tax liability within the law.
Tax Audit u/s 44AB is mandatory for businesses with turnover exceeding ₹1 crore (₹10 crore if 95%+ transactions are digital), professionals with gross receipts exceeding ₹50 lakhs, and those opting out of presumptive taxation schemes. It involves verification of books of accounts, verification of income and expenses, reporting in Form 3CA/3CB and 3CD, and ensuring compliance with all income tax provisions. Our experienced Vadodara CA team conducts thorough and timely tax audits.
C M Patel and Company is among the most trusted CA firms in Vadodara for GST services. We handle GST registration, GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C filings, GST audit, input tax credit reconciliation, e-way bill advisory, and GST notice representation. Our team of qualified CAs ensures accurate, timely, and penalty-free GST compliance for businesses across Vadodara and Gujarat.
Key GST return due dates: GSTR-1 is due on the 11th of the following month for monthly filers and quarterly for QRMP scheme filers. GSTR-3B is due on 20th (monthly filers) or 22nd/24th (quarterly filers). GSTR-9 (Annual Return) is due by December 31. GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) is also due December 31 for eligible businesses. Our GST consultants in Vadodara proactively remind and file all returns before deadlines to avoid late fees and interest.
GST registration is mandatory for businesses with aggregate turnover exceeding ₹40 lakhs (goods) or ₹20 lakhs (services) in most states, and ₹10 lakhs in special category states. Additionally, inter-state suppliers, e-commerce operators, casual taxable persons, and those liable to pay under reverse charge must register regardless of turnover. We assist with complete GST registration in Vadodara within 3–5 working days.
Input Tax Credit (ITC) allows a GST-registered business to reduce the tax paid on inputs (purchases) from the tax payable on output (sales). To claim ITC, you need a valid GST invoice, your supplier must have filed GSTR-1, the goods/services must be received, and payment must be made within 180 days. Our GST experts in Vadodara conduct monthly ITC reconciliation to maximize your eligible credit and ensure compliance with Rule 36(4).
Late filing of GST returns attracts a late fee of ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) for returns with tax liability, and ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST) for nil returns, subject to a maximum cap. Additionally, interest at 18% per annum applies on unpaid tax. Repeated defaults can lead to suspension or cancellation of GST registration. Our Vadodara CA firm helps you maintain 100% on-time compliance.
The mandatory GST Audit by a CA u/s 35(5) was abolished by the Finance Act 2021 with effect from FY 2020-21. However, GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) is still required to be self-certified by taxpayers with annual turnover above ₹5 crores. Even without mandatory audit, an internal GST health check by our CA team in Vadodara is strongly recommended to identify ITC mismatches, short payments, and compliance gaps before a departmental audit.
An NRI's Indian income tax liability depends on their residential status under the Income Tax Act. NRIs are taxed only on income earned or accrued in India — such as rent from Indian property, capital gains from Indian assets, interest from NRO accounts, and dividends from Indian companies. NRE account interest is fully exempt. NRIs must file ITR in India if their Indian income exceeds the basic exemption limit. Our CA firm in Vadodara specialises in NRI tax returns, DTAA benefit claims, and lower TDS certificate applications.
NRIs investing in India must comply with the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Key rules include: NRIs can invest in Indian stocks under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) through designated banks, FDI in Indian companies is permitted in most sectors under automatic route, purchase of immovable property (except agricultural land/plantation/farmhouse) is allowed, and repatriation of funds follows specific limits. Our CA team provides FEMA advisory, RBI filings, and ensures NRI investments are fully compliant.
When an NRI sells immovable property in India, the buyer is required to deduct TDS at 20% (+ surcharge + cess) on the sale consideration for long-term capital gains (held over 2 years) and at 30% for short-term gains. The NRI can apply to the Income Tax Officer for a Lower Deduction Certificate u/s 197 to reduce TDS if actual capital gains tax is lower. C M Patel and Company assists NRIs with Lower TDS Certificates, capital gains computation, LTCG reinvestment under 54EC/54F, and ITR filing.

We work on-site or remotely depending on your preference, providing accurate financial data for informed business decisions.
Our team is proficient in Tally ERP 9 and Tally Prime (most commonly used in Vadodara businesses), Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Busy Accounting, and SAP Business One for larger enterprises.

Professional accounting ensures: accurate GST return filing and ITC claims, correct income tax computation, timely ROC compliance, bank-ready financial statements for loan applications, clear picture of profitability for business decisions, and protection against tax notices due to data mismatches. Many businesses in Vadodara lose money through missed ITC, incorrect deductions, or penalties from poor bookkeeping — our CA firm ensures none of that happens to you.
Our payroll compliance services include: monthly payroll processing and salary slip generation, TDS on salary computation and Form 16 issuance, Provident Fund (PF/EPF) registration and monthly ECR challan filing, Employee State Insurance (ESIC) registration and monthly filing, Professional Tax registration and filing in Gujarat, Labour Welfare Fund compliance, and Full and Final settlement calculations. We ensure complete payroll compliance for your employees and zero penalties for your business.
Provident Fund (EPF) registration under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 is mandatory for establishments employing 20 or more employees. Smaller businesses can also voluntarily register. Both employer and employee contribute 12% of basic wages. Our team in Vadodara handles PF registration, monthly ECR filings, KYC updates, and PF transfer/withdrawal queries for your employees.
TDS on salary is deducted by employers u/s 192 based on the employee's estimated annual income and applicable slab rates. Employers must deposit TDS monthly, file quarterly TDS returns in Form 24Q, and issue Form 16 (Part A and Part B) to employees by June 15 of the following financial year. Form 16 is essential for employees filing their ITR. Our CA firm handles all TDS compliance including Form 26AS reconciliation to ensure zero mismatches.
