The purpose is to ensure that the tax liability is correctly declared and paid, and that Input Tax Credit (ITC) has been claimed in accordance with the law.

Who is required to undergo the GST Audit?

In the midst of completing the creation of LLP, I wanted to change my name in the PAN card. This took much longer than anticipated. Lakshya, was meticulous in following up and knowing the status. I guess, I was also past the deadline by few days, but the team was understanding enough here and completed the creation. My LLPs name was also about to expire, to ensure this did not lead to another issue, Lakshya chose to work on Saturday for a few hours and completed the process. Thanks!

๐Ÿš€ From Idea to Incorporated in Just 7 Days — Gratitude Post

In the startup world, speed is everything.
But execution speed with the right guidance? That’s a game changer.

I’m incredibly grateful to Anant khatiyan for making what seemed complex… effortless.

From navigating incorporation to ensuring everything moved fast and correctly, Anant didn’t just assist — he took ownership like it was his own venture.

โšก 7 days. That’s all it took.
And behind that speed was clarity, precision, and constant support.

Not many people in the ecosystem combine:
- Deep knowledge
- Founder-first mindset
- Relentless execution

Anant does.

Big thanks as well to Startup Movers Private Limited and Razorpay Rize for building an ecosystem that actually enables founders to move fast.

If you’re a founder stuck in “starting soon” mode — talk to Anant.
Sometimes, the right person is all it takes to turn intention into reality.

Starting up sounds glamorous from the outside. In reality, the early days are messy — compliance, paperwork, registrations, things you don’t fully understand yet. As a first-time founder, it’s easy to feel stuck before you even begin.

For us at SparkOs, the incorporation phase could have easily slowed us down. Instead, it moved faster than expected — largely because we had the right support system.

Razorpay Rize and Startup Movers Private Limited simplified what usually feels complicated. Clear guidance, fast responses, and a process that didn’t feel overwhelming — that’s rare when you’re just getting started.

A special mention to Mr. Lakshya from start up movers and Mr. Siddharth from Razor Pay Rize, who was our point of contact throughout. Having someone reliable on the other end makes a bigger difference than most people realize at this stage.

If you're a first-time founder, don’t underestimate how important it is to have the right partners early on. It won’t build your company for you — but it will remove a lot of unnecessary friction.

Now back to building.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions on GST Advisory and Transaction Structuring services

A GST Audit is a detailed review and examination of a taxpayerโ€™s GST records to ensure that all tax filings, input tax credit claims, and payments are accurate and fully compliant with the GST law.

From FY 2020โ€“21 onwards, the mandatory GST audit by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant has been removed having turnover more than โ‚น2 crore in a financial year.

  • Taxpayers with aggregate turnover of more than โ‚น5 crore in a financial year must:
    • Self-certify and file Form GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement),
    • Along with their annual return in GSTR-9.
  • Taxpayers with turnover up to โ‚น5 crore are not required to file GSTR-9C.

There are mainly three types:

  1. Turnover-Based Audit (earlier under Section 35), now withdrawn
  2. Departmental Audit (Section 65)
  3. Special Audit (Section 66 โ€“ ordered by a Commissioner)

Different sectors face unique GST challenges. We help analyze GST impact for industries like real estate, e-commerce, and exports to ensure compliance and profitability.

  • GSTR-1, 3B, 9, 9C filed
  • Vendor-wise ITC reconciliation
  • Rule 42/43 ITC reversal tracking
  • Tax rate verification on outward supplies
  • Cross-checking books vs returns
  • Document matching (invoices, ledgers, agreements)
  • E-way bill and delivery trail
  • Internal control review points like SOPs and vendor health

A departmental GST audit must be completed within 3 months from the date of commencement (extendable to 6 months).

Startup Movers assists in preparing for this timeline and responding effectively.

To prepare for a GST audit, ensure all GST returns are filed correctly, books of accounts are updated, and invoices, ITC records, and reconciliations (like GSTR-3B vs GSTR-1 and GSTR-2A/2B) are in order.

Keep all supporting documents ready for verification.

If the GST auditor finds discrepancies, the business may face:

  • Demand notices
  • Input tax credit reversal
  • Penalties and late fees

Startup Movers helps address these with expert representation and corrections.

No, GST audit is not mandatory for all businesses. While the turnover-based audit requirement (for businesses having turnover above โ‚น2 crore) was withdrawn, departmental audits under Section 65 and special audits under Section 66 can still be initiated for any registered taxpayer if discrepancies are found.

However, Self-Certification by the taxpayer in Form GSTR-9C is mandatory for businesses having turnover greater than โ‚น5 crore.

Thatโ€™s why many businesses opt for voluntary internal control reviews to stay compliant and audit-ready.
