• Handle scrutiny assessments, notices, and departmental correspondence, including preparing submissions and liaising with consultants/counsel where required.

3. Indirect Tax Compliance

• Own GST compliance across multiple state registrations monthly/annual return filings (GSTR-1, 3B, 9/9C), and timely reconciliations (GSTR-2B vs books, e-invoicing where applicable).

4. Fixed Assets & Debtors Control

• Maintain the Fixed Assets Register additions, disposals, capitalisation, depreciation (Companies Act and Income Tax), and periodic physical verification.
• Own debtors control — ageing analysis, collections follow-up coordination, provisioning for doubtful debts, and reconciliation of client/customer accounts.
• Work with business teams to resolve billing/collection discrepancies and tighten receivables discipline.

5. Treasury & Banking

• Manage day-to-day banking relationships across group entities — operations, facilities, and documentation.
• Monitor and ensure compliance with loan/facility covenants, and coordinate timely submission of required certifications/data to lenders.
• Handle Bank Guarantees — issuance, renewal, tracking of margin money/collateral, and coordination with banks and business teams on client-mandated BG requirements.
• Support cash flow visibility and working capital coordination with the treasury/finance team.

• Act as a key liaison between Finance and other functions (Operations, HR, Procurement, Business Heads) to ensure smooth month-end processes, vendor/client account matters, and compliance data flows.
• Communicate clearly and confidently with statutory auditors, tax consultants, bankers, and regulatory authorities.
• Prepare clear, concise summaries and elevate risk areas proactively to the CFO/Controller with recommended courses of action rather than just raising issues.
