Return Filing and Reconciliations

From “deadline dread” to done-and-dusted—Finance Shelter keeps every return spotless and every ledger in sync.

Picture this…

It’s the evening of the 20th. GSTR-3B is due in a few hours, TDS challans are still unmatched, and the CFO’s phone is buzzing: “Have we fixed that GSTR-2B mismatch? Did MCA accept last year’s AOC-4? Why doesn’t the bank statement tally?” Now picture the same evening with Finance Shelter at the wheel. All returns e-filed days ago. Reconciliations match to the paisa. Dashboards show green ticks. The CFO leaves at 6 p.m. — no drama, no late fees.

1. Why Timely Returns & Bullet-Proof Reconciliations Matter

• Penalty firewall – GST late fee? ₹50–₹200 per day. Income-tax interest? 1% per month. ROC defaults? ₹100 per day.
• Cash-flow clarity – clean ledgers tell you exactly what’s payable, receivable, or refundable.
• Audit armour – flawless reconciliations shut down most audit queries in minutes.
• Investor confidence – diligence teams equate on-time compliance with sound governance.
• Peace-of-mind factor – no more 2 a.m. Excel marathons before due dates.

2. Returns We Handle End-to-End

• GST – GSTR-1, 3B, 9/9C, ITC-04, LUT renewals, e-invoicing, e-way bills.
• Income Tax – ITR-1 to 7, Form 3CEB for transfer-pricing, Form 15CA/CB for remittances.
• TDS/TCS – 24Q, 26Q, 27EQ; Form 16/16A generation and employee help-desk.
• ROC / MCA – AOC-4, MGT-7/7A, DIR KYC, MSME-1, DPT-3.
• Payroll Statutory – PF, ESI, PT challans and returns.
• Customised verticals – SEZ SOFTEX, RERA, CSR-1, FEMA submissions—whatever your regulator wants, we file.

4. Common Pitfalls We Vaporise

• GSTR-1 vs. 3B mismatches that block input credit and trigger scrutiny notices.
• Forgotten HSN-wise summary — ₹25,000 penalty risk.
• TDS challans booked under wrong section — late-interest domino effect.
• Bank-book gaps that hide duplicate payments or missed receipts.
• MCA forms bounced for incorrect SRN mapping — ₹100/day ticking meter.

Our SOPs and check-lists are built to avoid every one of these landmines.

5. Success Snippets

• Consumer-electronics importer – reduced GST interest outgo from ₹14 lakh to zero within two quarters through iron-clad 2B reconciliation.
