GSTR-9/9C, and reconciliations (GSTR-2A/2B vs. books, ITC reconciliation).

• Handle GST litigation — draft and file replies to notices, SCNs, audit queries, and appeals; coordinate with

consultants and counsel where required.

• Maintain and update litigation trackers for indirect taxation — monitor notices, due dates, hearing

schedules, appeal status, and demand/refund positions.

• Provide structuring and advisory support on GST implications of transactions, contracts, new business

models, and place/time/value of supply issues.

• Manage GST registrations, amendments, refunds, and department correspondence across states.

• Accounting of the GST output and Input in cross functional enterprise structure.

Direct Taxation (TDS)

• Working knowledge of direct taxation with hands-on ownership of TDS — correct deduction, timely deposit

to the department, and filing of quarterly TDS returns (Forms 24Q/26Q/27Q).

• Support broader direct tax compliance and assessments as required.

• Working knowledge in litigation and advisory for Direct Tax Matters.

Product & Systems Implementation

• Drive tax implementation within products, billing, and invoicing systems — ensure correct GST rates,

HSN/SAC mapping, place-of-supply logic, and e-invoicing / e-way bill compliance.

• Design and validate product logic for TDS deduction and deposit workflows, ensuring accurate computation

and remittance to the department.

• Partner with product and engineering teams to translate tax rules into system requirements, test changes,

and prevent compliance gaps.

Representation & Advisory

• Represent the group before GST Officers, Income Tax Officers, and other government authorities on matters

related to these functions.

• Prepare submissions, documentation, and case files for hearings, assessments, and audits.

• Advise internal stakeholders on tax-efficient structuring and the tax impact of business decisions.

• Working knowledge of direct taxation and practical TDS compliance.

• Experience implementing tax logic in products, ERP, or invoicing/billing systems.

• Proven ability to draft replies, appeals, and represent before tax authorities.

simultaneously.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; effective in cross-functional collaboration.
