Accounting Services in Delhi

A recharge posted from a head office in the capital to a Noida or Gurugram branch is not an internal transfer, because two establishments under one PAN are separate persons. Accounting services for a Delhi business therefore start by giving each registration its own set of books, cross-charging between them on a tax invoice, and reconciling the pair before the month is frozen. Begin with a GST and TDS health-check.

Reconciliation doubles the moment a second state registration appears, because each ledger must agree with its own returns and with the cross-charge invoices facing it across the border. Bookkeeping services in Delhi cover that matching, the vendor ledger and the close each month, filed through the national GST portal. Assessment representation and secretarial work are commissioned independently.

Accounting services in Delhi fit owner-run firms and companies that have outgrown occasional help but are not ready to put an accountant on the payroll. Around Connaught Place and the trade counters of Karol Bagh, the monthly close keeps slipping while returns still fall due.

• Newly incorporated private limited companies near Netaji Subhash Place now due to file monthly GST and TDS with no in-house accountant yet.
• Proprietors in Karol Bagh whose bookkeeper left mid-year, leaving postings and bank reconciliations stalled.
• Small trading firms outgrowing spreadsheets, now facing a lender's review those files cannot answer.
• LLPs that added a second state registration, doubling the returns each period now demands.
• Employers whose headcount has grown until PF, ESI and Labour Welfare Fund deductions each need computing, within Delhi Shops and Establishment cover.
• Owner-run businesses trading across the capital and the wider NCR that want their books reconciled across the state line each month.
• Companies approaching their first statutory audit that need a trial balance an auditor accepts without rework.

Standard books need standard records, and Delhi's own additions are the Shops and Establishments certificate and a welfare fund statement filed twice a year.

• Bank statements for every business bank account for the full period, in PDF and Excel or CSV
• Sales invoices and tax invoices issued (including e-invoice IRN/QR files where e-invoicing applies)
• Purchase invoices and vendor bills received
• Expense bills, receipts and signed petty-cash vouchers
• Credit notes and debit notes issued and received
• GST data for each tax period: the auto-drafted GSTR-2B, and Form 26AS/AIS for tax credited at source
• TDS/TCS challans, filed returns (24Q/26Q/27Q/27EQ) and Form 16/16A issued
• Registration certificate under the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954
• Delhi Labour Welfare Fund Form A statement and half-yearly contribution challan (six months ending 30 June and 31 December)

The first thing Delhi decides differently is what it does not levy: there is no profession tax in the capital, so payroll accounting drops a deduction that Mumbai and Ahmedabad businesses must run. What Delhi adds instead is a border problem, because an office in Delhi and a branch across the NCR line are distinct persons under GST.

So the local framework is about registration and inter-branch supply rather than a state payroll tax. A trade licence from the municipal body sits behind the establishment, and cross-border transfers within the NCR are invoiced and valued, which is why NCR Inter-State GST Reconciliation matters here. Accounting services in Delhi keep the local and central obligations aligned against the provisions below.

• No profession tax in DelhiThe capital levies no profession tax, so the payroll ledger carries no PTRC or PTEC line - the point behind the Delhi Nil Professional Tax Regime.
• Section 25(4), CGST Act 2017A Delhi head office and a branch across the NCR border are distinct persons under GST, so inter-branch supplies are invoiced and valued.
• Delhi Shops and Establishments Act 1954The establishment registers under the Delhi Shops Act, which sets the employment records the books must support.
• Section 128 with Section 129 and Schedule III, Companies Act 2013The books stay on accrual and double entry and close into Schedule III statements, retained for eight years.
• Rule 3(1), Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014The audit trail is switched on all year, and Section 44AB fixes the tax-audit threshold. Full national detail sits on the India accounting page.

Practical note: the point Delhi businesses miss is not profession tax, which does not apply, but the distinct-persons rule: an unbilled stock transfer to an NCR branch is a frequent GST finding.

TDS / TCS deposit (Challan ITNS-281) is due 7th of every month (30 April for March). GSTR-1 (outward supplies) is due 11th of every month for monthly filers. Provident Fund (ECR) and ESI contribution is due 15th of every month. Patron tracks each against your books so nothing is reconstructed after the fact. Call +91 94594 56700 to set up a filing-reminder schedule.

Bookkeeping and return filing are bought as one thing and are not one thing. A filer works from whatever you send in the last week; this engagement keeps the ledger itself, so the return is a by-product of books that were already correct. The distinction shows up the day someone asks for a working.

Auditors open by asking for the ledger with its supporting schedules, not a summary. Where an accounting company in Delhi has done the reconciliations monthly, the queries are narrow and specific. Where they were left to the year end, the audit turns into a rebuilding exercise with your team supplying the missing half.

Whoever maintains the vendor master is the person we speak to: the deduction section applied to each contractor, professional, landlord, commission agent and transporter. Vendors coded to the wrong section are a common finding, and correcting that master is where our ledger keeping across India begins.
