- GST rates shown (where applicable) are indicative — verify with official CBIC notifications for your specific product.

For mission-critical tax filings, always cross-verify with the official CBIC website (cbic.gov.in) and consult a qualified professional. See our Disclaimer for full details.

If applicable law does not allow the limitation of liability, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the past 12 months — which is ₹0, since the Service is free.
