3. Statutory Compliance & Taxation

   • Accurately compute and file monthly GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B) and perform strict monthly GSTR-2B vs. Purchase Register reconciliations to maximize Input Tax Credit (ITC) claiming.
   • Compute, deduct, and deposit TDS/TCS and file quarterly returns (Form 24Q, 26Q) on TRACES.
   • Coordinate with internal and statutory auditors for corporate financial audits, income tax assessments, and MCA compliance.
4. Payroll Administration & Financial Reporting
   • Process end-to-end monthly payroll for corporate and solar site personnel, managing PF, ESI, and Professional Tax compliance.
   • Prepare daily/weekly cash flow updates, monthly trial balances, and project-wise P&L statements in Tally Prime.
   • Assist executive leadership with project cost-to-complete analysis, budget vs. actual variance tracking, and working capital management.
