Every engagement runs through the same phases — a diagnostic, then implementation, then an ongoing retainer at the tier that matches your transaction volume. The figures below are the Firm's standard fee schedule, set out in full in every engagement letter. Your own letter confirms the exact scope and tier before anything is billed.
Paid once, at the stage each is completed — none of these recur unless you ask us to redo the work.
| Phase | Fee | Service |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — Diagnostic | ₹25,000 on delivery | Residential-status & RNOR determination from your passport and travel history, FEMA review of your accounts and foreign holdings, GST and export-eligibility assessment, a business-structure recommendation, and DTAA/foreign-tax-credit applicability where relevant. Delivered as one written memorandum with a dated action checklist. |
| 2 — Implementation | ₹20,000 on completion | GST registration and LUT filing where applicable, advisory on reclassifying accounts from NRE/NRO to resident status and on opening an RFC account, and a compliant export-invoice template. LLP/Pvt Ltd incorporation is scoped and quoted separately if instructed. |
| 2B — Books Setup | ₹10,000 on completion | Chart of accounts built for a cross-border practice, accounting-software configuration, opening balances, a documented foreign-exchange translation policy, and the invoice and inward-remittance registers. |
| 4 — Annual Review | ₹20,000 annually | Yearly re-check of residential status and RNOR eligibility, foreign-tax-credit position including Form 67, and business structure against the year's actual results, with updated recommendations. |
Billed monthly in advance. Every tier includes the full bookkeeping scope — bank-statement recording, invoice and remittance registers, monthly reconciliation and summary, and year-end profit computation for the return — the tiers differ in transaction capacity and whether GST compliance is included.
For a practice with a steady, modest volume of transactions and no GST registration to maintain.
Everything in Essential, plus the GST filings a registered exporter of services actually needs.
For higher transaction volume and a practice that wants a standing management-accounts rhythm.
A transaction is one debit or credit entry in the business bank account, or one sales invoice issued. Volume over a tier's cap is billed at ₹1,500 per block of 25 transactions in the month it arises; three consecutive months over cap and either side can call for a move to the next tier. All fees are exclusive of GST. From the second year, the retainer and Annual Review continue and are billed quarterly in advance at three times the monthly rate, unless terminated on 30 days' notice.
One-off work outside these phases — a single certificate, a corporate registration, a trust setup, statutory or tax audit, or representation in any scrutiny or appeal — sits outside this schedule and is quoted separately. See the full service catalog for everything covered, or try the Fit Check and Tax Compare tools before you talk to us.
Say roughly how many transactions a month and whether you're GST-registered — we'll tell you honestly which tier makes sense.
