Outsourced Accounting (Mumbai)
Books, returns and filings for businesses across Mumbai and the wider metropolitan region — including the state registrations that only apply here.
Outsourced accounting for a Mumbai business covers the same monthly close and returns as anywhere in India, plus a layer of state and city obligations that catch out businesses relocating in: professional tax under the Maharashtra Act, which needs both a PTEC and a PTRC registration, registration under the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments Act, filings with the Registrar of Companies at Mumbai, and, for public trusts, submissions to the Charity Commissioner.

What differs for a Mumbai entity
The state layer sits on top of everything else.

Bookkeeping, reconciliation and a reviewed trial balance on a fixed date, the same as any outsourced accounting engagement.
Maharashtra registrations
Professional tax through both PTEC and PTRC, and Shops and Establishment registration for the establishment itself.
ROC Mumbai
Annual and event-based company filings routed through the Registrar of Companies having jurisdiction over Maharashtra.
Local coordination
Physical documentation, notarisation and departmental follow-up handled locally where a filing needs it.

Where Mumbai businesses commonly slip
What sets our approach apart.
Professional tax is two registrations
PTEC covers the entity's own liability and PTRC covers deduction from employees' salaries; businesses frequently hold one and not the other.
State registrations lapse quietly
Shops and Establishment registration and its renewals attract no reminder, and the gap usually surfaces during an inspection or a licence application.
Relocating businesses carry old registrations
Entities moving into Maharashtra often keep filing under their previous state's registrations long after the establishment has actually moved.
