Planning.
Direct-tax planning of positions, transactions and structures under the Income-tax Act, 1961.
About this service.
Individuals, corporates, LLPs, partnership firms, trusts and foreign entities with an India taxable presence.
Tax planning covers the assessment of tax positions before transactions and decisions are executed — so that outcomes are lawful, defensible and aligned with the entity's commercial objectives.
The firm advises Indian and foreign clients on the direct-tax consequences of proposed transactions under the Income-tax Act, 1961 and the rules thereunder, with attention to recent statutory amendments, judicial precedents and CBDT circulars.
Planning is conducted conservatively — the emphasis is on positions supported by law and precedent, documented before the transaction, rather than aggressive claims.
