Before you hire anyone, check for these warning signs. From the document's verified research.
Every practicing CA must have a membership number. If they can't show it, they're not qualified to sign your returns.
No legitimate CA guarantees zero tax before reviewing your financials. This is a classic bait.
A proper CA always provides a written scope of work with fees. Verbal promises mean nothing legally.
Transparent CAs charge per service (ITR filing, GST return). Per-entry billing leads to inflated bills.
There are 7 ITR forms. If your CA can't tell you which one applies and why, they may be using the wrong one.
ITR filing: ₹500-5,000. GST registration: ₹1,000-5,000. Company registration: ₹5,000-15,000. Tax audit: ₹10,000-50,000. Always get a written fee quote before engagement.
Check ICAI membership number at icai.org. Look for Certificate of Practice (COP). Verify office address exists. Check Google reviews (20+ with real names). Ask for engagement letter.
PAN card, Aadhaar card, address proof (electricity bill/rent agreement), bank account statement, passport photos, and business registration proof.
Mutual divorce: ₹10,000-30,000 total. Contested divorce: ₹50,000-2,00,000+ depending on duration. Court fees are separate (₹1,000-5,000).
If documents are ready: 1-2 days for slot booking + registration. Lawyer may need 3-5 days for deed preparation. Total: 1-2 weeks including due diligence.
