Who needs this
Who needs accounting services in India
If any of the situations below apply to your business, statutory bookkeeping and filings are no longer optional.
- You run a Private Limited Company, OPC, or LLP - books and audit are mandatory regardless of turnover.
- Your turnover crossed Rs 1 crore (business) or Rs 50 lakh (profession) - Section 44AB tax audit kicks in.
- You are registered under GST - monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings are mandatory.
- You deduct TDS - quarterly returns in Form 26Q, 24Q, or 27Q apply.
- You employ staff - payroll, PF, ESI, and Professional Tax need processing every month.
Why hand it to us
A full-time accountant costs more. And does less.
A full-time accountant in a metro city costs Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 in salary alone, before PF, ESI, software, and training. You depend on one person who takes leave, falls ill, and eventually leaves. Regikart gives you a CA-supervised team with backup coverage, software included, and quarterly partner review on the books.
One firm, one engagement.
Bookkeeping, GST, TDS, payroll, ROC and ITR under a single fixed monthly fee. No coordinating four different vendors, no chasing four different invoices.
4 offices across India.
Physical offices in Kolkata, Delhi, Gurugram and Pune. In-person reviews when you need them; cloud-first remote service when you do not.
Software licences included.
Tally Prime, Zoho Books, QuickBooks or Busy - your choice. Software licence is built into the plan, no extra Rs 18,000-30,000 per year on your invoice.
Audit-ready, all year.
Books closed monthly to Schedule III format. Bank reconciliation done weekly, not at year-end. Your statutory auditor finds what they need on day one.
Transparent tier pricing.
Four plans tied to transaction volume - published on this page. No hourly creep, no surprise invoices, no 'out of scope' debates mid-engagement.
Comparison
In-House Accountant vs Regikart Outsourced.
Genuine cost-benefit, not a sales pitch. Run the numbers; the verdict is usually obvious for businesses under Rs 100 crore turnover.
| Parameter | In-House Accountant | Regikart (Outsourced) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Rs 25,000 - Rs 50,000 salary + PF + ESI | Rs 2,499 - Rs 9,999 all-in |
| Software licence | Extra Rs 18,000 - Rs 30,000/year | Included in plan |
| CA review | Separate engagement | Built into the service |
| Leave / attrition risk | High - single person | None - team backup |
| GST and TDS filing | Owner often files | Filed by qualified team |
| Year-end audit prep | Last-minute scramble | Audit-ready books all year |

Common pain points
Four problems we see every week - and how we fix them.
Pain point 1
Books drift from bank reality
Most SMEs reconcile only at year-end, by which time discrepancies have piled up. Regikart does weekly bank reconciliation so the gap never grows beyond a week. Real fix, not a year-end clean-up.
Pain point 2
Missed TDS deadlines
TDS deposit is due by the 7th of every following month. A single missed deposit triggers interest at 1.5% per month and a Section 234E late-fee of Rs 200 per day. We schedule deposits with calendar reminders and direct payment authorisation.
Pain point 3
GSTR-2B mismatch
ITC blocked because vendors did not file GSTR-1 is a leading cash-flow leak. We reconcile GSTR-2B against books every month and follow up with vendors before the ITC deadline lapses.
Pain point 4
Owner has no monthly view of profitability
Books that close only at year-end give no decision data. Our monthly MIS gives owners P&L, cash flow, and ageing reports by the 10th, in time to act.

ROC AOC-4 or MGT-7 delay
Rs 100 per day with no upper cap on the additional fee.
Legal framework
The three statutes that govern your books.
Every Indian business owner should know these by name. Penalty exposure on each is non-trivial; the cost of a wrong filing now often exceeds the cost of the service many times over.
Companies Act 2013
Section 128 requires every company to keep books of account at its registered office on accrual basis using the double-entry system. Books must be retained for 8 years (Sec 128(5)). Penalty for default ranges from Rs 50,000 to Rs 5 lakh on directors (Sec 128(6)). Books may be kept in electronic mode but the server must be physically located in India.
Income Tax Act 1961
Section 44AA prescribes the categories required to maintain books. Section 44AB triggers tax audit when business turnover crosses Rs 1 crore (Rs 10 crore where 95% transactions are digital) or professional receipts cross Rs 50 lakh. Penalty under Sec 271A is Rs 25,000 for failure to maintain books.
CGST Act 2017
Section 35 requires every registered person to keep records at the principal place of business for 72 months from the due date of the annual return. Section 36 mandates retention of all related documents for the same period. Penalty under Sec 122 is Rs 10,000 or the tax involved, whichever is higher.
Indian Accounting Standards
Companies above Rs 250 crore net worth, listed entities, and their subsidiaries follow Ind AS notified by the MCA on the recommendation of ICAI. Smaller companies follow Accounting Standards (AS) notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules 2021.
