• Handle GST litigation — draft and file replies to notices, SCNs, audit queries, and appeals; coordinate with consultants and counsel where required.
• Maintain and update litigation trackers for indirect taxation — monitor notices, due dates, hearing schedules, appeal status, and demand/refund positions.

• Working knowledge in litigation and advisory for Direct Tax Matters.

• Design and validate product logic for TDS deduction and deposit workflows, ensuring accurate computation and remittance to the department.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to translate tax rules into system requirements, test changes, and prevent compliance gaps.
• Represent the group before GST Officers, Income Tax Officers, and other government authorities on matters related to these functions.
• Prepare submissions, documentation, and case files for hearings, assessments, and audits.
• Advise internal stakeholders on tax‑efficient structuring and the tax impact of business decisions.
