How to lock the account ?

I have a client (proprietor). I handle his GST as well as his income tax. He is not paying my fees by continuously giving excuses. He is financially ok.

I want to ask you all, is there any way through which I can lock his GST & Income Tax account.


Thanks & Regards

Quick Summary
A professional is seeking ways to lock a client's GST and Income Tax accounts due to non-payment of fees, despite the client appearing financially well-off. Other users have advised against this, deeming it unprofessional and potentially illegal, suggesting alternative methods for fee recovery. The original poster feels a stronger approach is needed for clients who disregard professional services.

No. Not possible. Secondly, that will be a kind of extortion on your part.

@ Dhirajlal ji, as far as extortion is concerned, I don't care.
The client has latest iPhone (1,36,000), he travels in Creta (15,00,000), he just had been to Maldives (3,50,000).
My fees - 18,000, pending since last year.

I Absolutely agree with deepanshu , & even whether the client is financially sound or not ...........  client has to pay fees ........    User id password is the only key where professionals are dependent because once the work is complete some times clients never pick up the calls too.   

 

@ Narendra,

Yes, I agreed with You. And also feel the same as Deepanshu. Bcoz, It's happen to all of us.

But, The said way not correct or good or legal. Also we are professional then we must be professional...

So, Ask the fees again and again.
Otherwise waiting for our turn...

Sorry for the Inconveniences...
@ raja p m ji,
you are right as far as professional behaviour is concerned. That's why I have been keeping patience since last year. But what about the behaviour of the client ?
There are some clients who don't give importance to our words. For such people a strong action is required. I can't go to the client & fight with them. That way they will surely not give money. The best way is to somehow block their account & compel them to give us our due fees.
Yes, I agreed.

But, It's not legal. Also it's not possible.

Yes Agreed With You @ Raja P M Ji ........ ........ & @ Deepanshu ................. .......
