We seek your expert guidance in the matter of certain Private Limited Companies wherein statutory compliances have remained pending for the last five to six financial years due to professional negligence of the earlier consultant. The present management is willing to regularise all pending filings by paying the prescribed additional fees, penalties, and compounding charges. The intention thereafter is to close/strike off the Company. What about ADT 1 and CA UDIN on Balance Sheet ? Please guide

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are into transportation services (GTA) we have supplied some taxable services to the customer but while filing we have shown as 5% RCM which was later amended as taxable services but again done mistake with 5% GST shown instead of 18% GST and now the bill is not amendable.

So if we cancel the bill and pass credit note and issue fresh bill is it acceptable or is there any other solutions.

Thanks & regards

Dear Experts,
I purchased an under-construction flat from a RERA-registered builder in Bangalore in March 2022 for ₹1.09 Cr. Payment was made in 18 milestone installments — partly from my own funds (~₹10L) and partly through home loan disbursement (~₹99L directly to builder).
I was not aware of the Form 26QB requirement under Section 194IA at the time and never filed it. TDS of approximately ₹96,652 (1% of consideration excluding GST) was never deducted or deposited.
The builder (now merged into APG Lifestyle Homes Pvt Ltd, CIN: U70109TN2017PTC173976) is ACTIVE Compliant on MCA portal with balance sheet filed up to 31/03/2025 and last AGM on 30/09/2025. The builder charged GST (CGST + SGST) on every milestone payment and is clearly reporting all revenue.
My questions:
Can I file the Form 26QB(s) now with late fees and interest, and then use Form 26A under the proviso to Section 201(1) read with Rule 31ACB to remove assessee-in-default status, given the builder has filed returns and paid tax on the income received?
Does the Form 26A electronic process on TRACES work for Section 194IA (26QB) transactions, or is it only applicable for regular TDS returns filed via Form 26Q? If not electronic, can relief be obtained through the Assessing Officer directly?
If Form 26A is applicable, would my liability be limited to interest under Section 201(1A) at 1% per month from date of each payment until the date the builder filed their return for the relevant year? My estimate is approximately ₹15,000-17,000.
Should I file 18 separate 26QBs (one per milestone) or can I consolidate? What is the interest implication of each approach?
Can any CA here handle this end-to-end — 26QB filing + Form 26A certification? I am based in Bangalore. Please share your fees.
I have all supporting documents — cost sheet, payment receipts, bank statements, loan disbursement records, and GST invoices from the builder.
Thank you in advance.

We have issued credit note to our B2B customers from Tally. But in that docuement title showing 'Tax invoice' and other columns captured like document type showing Credit Note. Is there any misconfication to issues in this document to the customer ?.please clarify for Invoice, Credit Note, Debit Note and Bill of supply in GST.I think and assure the document type only classify above the same.
please clarify the follows:
1. If it is a normal sale with GST, document title should be “Tax Invoice”.
2. In GST, the document title and document type both matter, but what is legally important is the content and correct classification as per GST rules, not just the heading printed at the top.
3. Even if Tally header shows “Tax Invoice”, but voucher type is Credit Note and GST return is correctly adjusted, legally it works — however, best practice is to change the print title to “Credit Note” to avoid confusion for customer and auditor.

Dear Experts,

Greetings

Kindly guide if I claim TDS immediately after builder has deducted or do I have to wait till end of FY to file return.

Will I get refund of total TDS deducted by the builder?

Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am seeking your expert opinion regarding the correct GST applicability, rate, and HSN classification for one of our products.
We are dealing with a product named “Millet-Based Probiotic Drink”, which is a packaged, non-alcoholic, fermented beverage made from millets, containing live probiotics. It is marketed as a spicy digestive/probiotic health drink, with zero sugar and zero preservatives.
There is confusion regarding whether this product should be classified as:
• a non-alcoholic beverage under Chapter 22, or
• a functional / probiotic / nutraceutical product under any other appropriate heading,
and accordingly, whether the applicable GST rate should be 5%, 12%, 18% or any other rate.

We request your guidance on:
1. The most appropriate HSN code for this product,
2. The correct GST rate applicable, and
3. Any relevant notifications, circulars, or case laws supporting the classification.
Your professional clarification will help us ensure correct compliance and avoid future disputes.
Looking forward to your valuable advice.
