The rules for this website, not for an engagement.

These terms govern your use of this website. They are not the terms of a professional engagement. Any actual piece of work — a filing, a defence, an audit, a build — is governed by a separate written engagement letter that sets out scope, fee and timeline, and that letter prevails over anything on this site.

The Knowledge Corner, the compliance calendar and everything else published here is general information about how Indian tax, GST, corporate and audit obligations work. It is written carefully and reviewed, but it is written for nobody in particular.

Statute changes, due dates are extended, and the facts of your case decide the answer. Do not act on a page of this website without taking advice on your own position. If you act on general information and it goes wrong, that is not a matter this website can be held to.

The dates published here are the standard statutory positions. The department extends deadlines at its discretion, sometimes at very short notice, and an extension will not always be reflected here immediately.

The calendar is a prompt, not a guarantee. The obligation to meet a statutory deadline remains yours, or your engaged advisor’s under the terms of that engagement.

The news page collects headlines from third-party publications and links to them. Those articles are the work and property of their publishers, are reproduced only as a headline and a link, and carry no endorsement. Follow the link to read the original.

Projects in the portfolio are shown with the client’s permission. The screenshots are captures of the live sites at a point in time; those sites belong to the clients and continue to change without reference to this one.

The written content, diagrams, layout, identity and code of this website belong to The Paper Plane. Read it, quote it with attribution, send it to a colleague. Do not republish it wholesale as your own.

The site is offered as it is. It is maintained attentively, but no uptime is promised, and a page may be changed, corrected or withdrawn at any time — including because it became wrong.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from use of this website.
