Kolkata's Business Landscape

Kolkata is Eastern India's largest commercial centre, known for its wholesale markets in Burrabazar, jute manufacturing, and a growing IT presence in Salt Lake.

Professional Services Challenges in Kolkata

GST on services: 18% with RCM complexity

Service businesses must handle GST under forward charge and occasionally reverse charge mechanism (RCM) for certain vendor payments. The system automatically determines the applicable GST treatment for each transaction.

Collecting payments from clients on retainer

Monthly retainer payments are often delayed because invoices are sent late or get lost in email. Automated invoice generation and WhatsApp reminders ensure clients receive invoices on time, every time.
