Engineering Rigorous Financial Infrastructure for Modern Boards

Multi-layered regulatory frameworks demand more than retrospective bookkeeping. Operating under the leadership of Managing Partner Rakesh Sinha, Prana Source bridges the structural disconnect between general ledgers, tax withholdings, and statutory filings.

Every enterprise transaction touches an intricate matrix of authorities—Income Tax, Central GST, EPFO, ESIC, RBI, and MCA. We replace fragmented ad-hoc filing with a tightly bound, single-truth operational model that preserves director peace of mind and guarantees investor-grade audit readiness.

Books ➔ Direct Tax

Withholding & 40(a)(ia)

Expense vouchers trigger mandatory TDS (Sec 194C/J/I). Unreconciled delays cause a 30% statutory expense disallowance in corporate tax assessment.

Risk: Disallowance + 1.5% interest/month.
Books ➔ GST Portal

Automated ITC Reconcile

Sales ledgers generate GSTR-1, while purchase registers are matched against supplier filings on GSTR-2B before claiming credits in GSTR-3B.

Risk: DRC-01B disparity notices + 18% interest.
Payroll ➔ Social Security

Salary to Statutory Deductions

Monthly gross salary computations directly compute Sec 192 TDS, employee/employer PF shares, ESIC health levies, and state-wise PT remittances.

Risk: Up to 25% EPFO damages & director liability.
Foreign Remittance ➔ RBI

15CA/CB to DGFT/FEMA

Overseas vendor transfers require 15CB CA certificates and 15CA acknowledgments, validated against IEC and reported in the annual RBI FLA return.

Risk: AD Bank account blocks & FEMA compounding.
Monthly Rhythm

Never Miss a Single Statutory Deadline

7th: TDS Deposit • 11th: GSTR-1 Outward • 15th: PF & ESIC Challans • 20th: GSTR-3B Settlement
