30+ years of combined expertise in complex Indian taxation and compliance.
Most businesses treat GST as a compliance burden. Strategic enterprises view it as a working capital opportunity—optimizing input tax credit, minimizing cash flow disruption, and building audit-defensible positions that withstand scrutiny.
Led by Kuppusami, M.Com, ICWAI, LL.B—with over four decades of professional tax practice, now architecting compliance strategies that withstand rigorous scrutiny.
GST isn't just about filing returns on time. For most businesses, GST represents the single largest working capital lock-up—and the highest regulatory risk exposure.
The Shocking Reality
Average Indian business has ₹8-15 Lakhs in blocked ITC at any given time. For larger enterprises, it's ₹2-8 Crores. That's YOUR money, sitting with the government.
You've paid GST to vendors. But if they don't file GSTR-1 correctly, your ITC gets blocked. You can't claim it until they fix their filing.
Real Case:
E-commerce client had ₹12.7 Cr ITC blocked across 1,200 vendors. Previous CA said "nothing we can do." We recovered ₹12.7 Cr in 8 months.
Most accept 10-15% ITC loss as "cost of business." It's recoverable with systematic approach.
GST is reverse cash flow: Pay vendors (with GST) TODAY → Collect from customers in 30-90 days → File monthly → Wait for ITC approval → Finally offset liability.
The Math (₹100 Cr business):
Avg GST working capital tied: ₹3 Cr
Cost of capital @ 12%: ₹36 Lakhs annually
Strategic GST advisory reduces working capital requirement by 30-50%.
GST notices are ROUTINE: GSTR-3B vs 1 mismatch, ITC vs supplier 2A difference, E-way bill discrepancies, classification questions.
CBIC Statistics:
23% of businesses get at least one notice annually.
For ₹50+ Cr revenue: 47% receive notices.
Businesses pay ₹5-20L in "settlement" because they can't DEFEND legitimate positions.
Your ITC depends on YOUR VENDORS filing correctly. With 200-1,000+ vendors, how do you ensure compliance?
Our Vendor Compliance Program:
Monthly filing tracking • Automated alerts • Escalation protocols • Alternative recovery methods
Result: 90%+ ITC realization vs. industry avg of 75-80%
Same product, different HSN codes, different GST rates. You choose based on interpretation. Assessor disagrees during audit.
Real Case:
12% vs 18% classification dispute on ₹8 Cr purchases.
Demand: ₹69 Lakhs → Our settlement: ₹8 Lakhs
Advance rulings and technical documentation prevent this entirely.
Multi-state = CGST + SGST + IGST complexity. Different registrations, inter-state transfers, place of supply determination.
Optimization Levers:
Hub distribution models • SEZ utilization • Stock transfer optimization • Place of supply planning
Strategic structuring can reduce GST liability by 8-15% for multi-state businesses.
For a ₹100 Cr revenue business, poor GST management typically costs:
Total: ₹2.4+ Cr annually in preventable GST costs. Strategic advisory that recovers 50% creates ₹1.2 Cr annual value.

Under ₹1.5Cr? Reduce GST rate by 40-60%, cut compliance by 90%. Is composition right for you?
B2B e-commerce marketplace | ₹280 Cr GMV | 1,200+ vendors
340 vendors had NEVER filed GSTR-1
280 vendors filed late (after deadline)
Previous CA: "Accept the loss"
Our 8-Month Program: Forensic ITC audit → Tiered vendor outreach (60% Tier-1 compliance in 6 weeks) → Alternative recovery methods → Ongoing compliance system
"Previous CA told us to write off ₹12.7 Cr. Sami recovered ₹9.7 Cr in 8 months. This single engagement created more value than our entire finance department's salary budget."
— CFO, E-Commerce Platform
4-location restaurant | ₹8.2 Cr revenue | 90% B2C customers
Regular scheme: 5% GST, only 40% ITC claimed
12 filings/month (4 locations × 3 returns)
Previous CA: "Composition won't work for multi-location"
Our Strategy: Each location eligible separately (under ₹1.5Cr each) → Composition @ 5% → 3% price reduction → "No GST, Just Great Food" marketing campaign
"We were told composition would COST us money. Sami showed us it could MAKE us money with strategic positioning. Now expanding 2 more locations."
— Founder, Restaurant Chain
