GST Consultant in Pune for Filing, Refunds and Notices
GST compliance should not take up more of your time than running your business.
Managing GST involves more than filing returns every month. From checking input tax credit and reconciling invoices to handling refunds and responding to notices, small gaps can create bigger problems if they go unnoticed.
GST Services in Pune: Compliance Support for Businesses
At Compliance Craft Advisors Pvt. Ltd., Pune, we help businesses manage their GST compliance in a structured and timely manner. Our GST compliance services in Pune cover GST registration, return filing, reconciliation, refunds, notices and litigation support, with Chartered Accountant review and guidance wherever required.
Whether you are starting a new business, managing regular GST filings or looking for help with an existing notice, we work with you to understand your requirements and find a practical way forward.
At Compliance Craft Advisors, we understand that every business has different GST requirements. A trader may need regular GST return filing and purchase reconciliation, while a manufacturer or exporter may require additional support with e-invoicing, input tax credit or refunds.
We have been supporting businesses with GST-related requirements since the introduction of GST in India. Our approach is simple: understand your business, review the available information, identify areas that need attention and help you stay on top of your compliance responsibilities.
Every return is prepared by our team and reviewed by a Chartered Accountant before filing. We also work with your existing accounting system wherever possible, so GST compliance fits into your regular accounting process.
Whether you need assistance with a single assignment or ongoing GST compliance, you can work with a team that understands your business and its requirements.
Why Do Businesses Need a GST Consultant?
GST compliance involves several activities that need to work together. Sales invoices, purchase records, GSTR-1, GSTR-2B, GSTR-3B, e-invoices and e-way bills all need to be reviewed as applicable to your business. Annual returns and reconciliation requirements may also need attention.
When these activities are handled separately, mismatches can go unnoticed. For example, a purchase invoice missing from a supplier's GST return may affect the input tax credit available to your business. If the issue is identified early, it is often easier to investigate and resolve.
GST provisions and compliance requirements also change from time to time. Businesses need to understand which changes apply to them and make the necessary adjustments to their accounting and filing processes.
Working with a GST consultant for business compliance helps bring these activities together. Instead of looking at each return as a separate task, we look at how your books, tax records and GST filings connect with one another.
If you are starting a business, read our guide to GST registration in India. If you are already registered and unsure whether your current compliance process is adequate, our guide on when to hire a tax consultant may help.

Explore GST advisory services →How Our Monthly GST Compliance Process Works
For businesses that engage us for regular GST compliance, we follow a structured process, so both our team and the client know what is required, what has been reviewed and what remains pending.
Share your data
You share the relevant sales and purchase data, or provide suitable access to your accounting system, such as Tally or Zoho Books. We use a shared checklist to track pending information.
Reconciliation and review
We review the available records, reconcile purchase data with GSTR-2B and check relevant sales, e-invoice and e-way bill information. Any discrepancies requiring clarification are brought to your attention.
Chartered Accountant review and your approval
A Chartered Accountant reviews the draft returns. Before filing, we share a summary of the tax payable and input tax credit claimed so you can review the figures and provide the required approval.
Filing and acknowledgement
Once the required information and approval are in place, we file the applicable returns within the relevant due dates and share the acknowledgements with you by email or WhatsApp.
Follow-up and ongoing attention
We help track identified discrepancies, vendor-related issues, notices and other compliance matters that require follow-up. Where further information or action is needed from your side, we communicate the next steps.
For one-time assignments, such as registration or refund applications, the process is tailored to the specific requirement.
GST Return Filing Due Dates
GST due dates depend on the return, filing frequency and applicable notifications. These are the usual statutory due dates, subject to any extensions or changes notified by the government.
| Return | Usual due date |
|---|---|
| GSTR-1 – Monthly filers | 11th of the following month |
| IFF – Eligible QRMP taxpayers | 13th of the following month, for the applicable quarter's first two months |
| GSTR-1 – Quarterly filers | 13th after the quarter |
| GSTR-3B – Monthly filers | 20th of the following month |
| GSTR-3B – Quarterly filers in Maharashtra | Generally the 22nd after the quarter, subject to applicable rules |
| CMP-08 – Composition taxpayers | 18th after the quarter |
| GSTR-9 / GSTR-9C, where applicable | Generally 31 December following the financial year |
These dates are a general reference and should be checked against the applicable rules and notifications for the relevant tax period. For a detailed explanation, read our GST return filing due dates guide and GST compliance checklist for businesses.
Common GST Issues We See in Practice
Many GST issues do not begin as major compliance failures. They often start with a missing invoice, an unreconciled entry or a difference that was not followed up on at the right time.
Differences between GSTR-2B and ITC claimed
Differences may arise because of supplier filing delays, missing invoices, incorrect details or other reasons. These should be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the applicable ITC rules rather than carried forward without review.
Delays in export refund applications
Refund applications may require careful matching of invoices, shipping bills and GST return details. Reviewing these records before submission can help identify discrepancies that may otherwise delay processing.
Choosing the right GST scheme
The regular and composition schemes have different conditions and implications. A business should consider its eligibility, customer profile and commercial requirements before choosing a scheme.
Inadequate replies to GST notices
A notice may require more than a general explanation. The response should address the specific points raised and be supported by relevant records and workings wherever necessary.
Our approach is to understand the facts first, identify what needs attention and help you take the next step with the appropriate documentation.
