Chartered Accountant for Mansarovar, Jaipur

Mansarovar is one of the largest planned residential areas in Jaipur, laid out in numbered sectors with its own markets, schools, clinics and a metro terminus. It is a place where several generations often live under one roof, and where a household's tax picture includes a salary, a pension, a small shop and a home loan all at once. Our work from Mansarovar tends to fall into four groups.

Families with more than one earner

A household may have a salaried son, a father drawing a pension, a mother with fixed deposits in her own name and a daughter-in-law running tuition classes from home. Each of them may need a return, and the way income and investments are split between them matters. We prepare returns for the whole family together so that interest, gifts and joint accounts are reported consistently and nobody is caught out by a mismatch later. Senior citizens have their own rules on interest and medical costs, and we apply them.

Shops and small businesses

The sector markets of Mansarovar are full of kirana stores, pharmacies, mobile shops, coaching centres, boutiques and small service firms. For most of these the questions are practical: do I need GST registration at my turnover, can I use the simplified presumptive method instead of keeping full books, what counts as business income if I also take a salary, and what do I do when a notice arrives because a supplier did not file. We keep the answers short and we set up simple record-keeping so that next year is easier.

First-time ITR filers

Many people in Mansarovar have never filed a return, either because their income was below the limit or because nobody asked them to. Reasons to start now include getting a refund of tax already deducted on a fixed deposit, building a record for a home loan or visa application, and avoiding the questions that arrive when the department sees deposits or purchases without a matching return. We register you on the portal, link what needs linking, and explain the form so you understand what was filed in your name.

Home-loan holders

A large share of Mansarovar households are repaying a housing loan. The interest and principal are treated differently for tax, the treatment changes if the house is let out rather than lived in, and a loan taken jointly by husband and wife can be claimed by both in proportion to what each actually pays. Interest paid while the flat was still under construction has its own rule. We collect the bank's interest certificate and make sure the claim is correct and supported.

We do not have an office in Mansarovar and this page is not meant to suggest that we do. Our two Jaipur offices are at Tonk Phatak, the main branch, and at Amba Bari. Clients from Mansarovar choose whichever suits them, or they work with us without visiting at all.

For a family filing returns, the usual routine is that one member collects everyone's documents, photographs or scans them, and sends them to us on WhatsApp. We reply with a list of anything missing, prepare each return, and walk the family through the figures on a call before filing. Older members who prefer paper are welcome to come to Tonk Phatak with the originals and sit with us.

For a shop or small business, we normally ask for one meeting at the start so we can see how sales, purchases and bank accounts are actually recorded, and set up a simple monthly routine. After that, GST returns and accounts are handled from documents you send each month, and we call when something needs a decision.

First-time filers often have questions that are easier to answer face to face. If you would like to come in, call ahead so that someone is free to go through the portal with you. CA Amit Kumar Jain leads the Tonk Phatak office; CA Sharad Bansal is at Amba Bari.

The same two offices serve the whole city. If you live or work elsewhere in Jaipur, these pages describe how we help people and businesses there.
