A narrow practice, deliberately

Prisha Tax Consulting was established in 2015 to handle the returns that general practice finds inconvenient: foreign equity compensation, overseas brokerage accounts, multi-asset capital gains and the year in which residential status changes.

What we believe about tax work

Most disputes are not about the law. They are about the file — whether the figure in the return can be traced to a document, whether the conversion rate can be justified, whether the holding period was measured from the right date.

So the practice is organised around the file. A computation is not finished when the tax is calculated; it is finished when a person who has never seen the case can follow it from the raw statement to the schedule line without asking a question.

That approach is slower at the outset and considerably faster three years later, when a notice arrives for a year everybody has forgotten.

Standards applied to every engagement

No assumed exchange rate. Rate, date, source and governing rule are recorded.
No hard-coded figure in a workbook unless it is marked as such and explained.
No position stated without the section, rule or circular it rests on.
Where a position is arguable, it is flagged as arguable, with the alternative set out.
Where information is missing, it is listed as missing rather than assumed.
Every engagement reconciles: statement to working paper to return.

The principal

Mahendra

Founder & Principal Consultant · Tax Consultant

Mahendra has worked in taxation for more than fifteen years and has run Prisha Tax Consulting since 2015. The practice was built around a straightforward conviction: almost every tax problem is solvable, and the difficulty usually sits in the file rather than in the law.

He works directly on every engagement — return preparation, capital gains computation, foreign asset and foreign income reporting, rectification of returns filed elsewhere, and responses to departmental notices. Clients are told what the position is, what it rests on, and where it is arguable, before anything is filed on their PAN.

Working together

What an engagement looks like

Enquiry

You describe the position and share the documents you have. There is no charge for this stage and no obligation on either side.

Scoping note

You receive a written note setting out the schedules involved, the documents still required, the questions of law that arise and a fixed fee.

Preparation

Workings are built and queries are raised in a single consolidated list rather than in a drip of emails.

Review

The computation and position note come to you before filing. Nothing is submitted on your PAN without your written confirmation.

Filing

The return is filed, verified and acknowledged, and the complete working paper file is handed over to you.

Afterwards

Processing is monitored, refunds are tracked, and any intimation received is reviewed against the file.

On confidentiality. Documents are handled on the basis that they are confidential and are used only for the engagement. Data is not shared with third parties except where required to file with the tax authorities or where the law compels disclosure. Where a client review appears on this site, it is published as given and with that client’s consent; no client is identified anywhere on this website without their agreement.

Client experience

In their words

Reviews from clients of the practice, published as given and with consent. First names only. Grammar has been tidied where needed; nothing has been added, removed or reworded in substance.

Foreign assets & notice

I had issues with my ITR filing and also received a notice regarding foreign assets declaration, which was quite stressful. I approached Mr. Mahendra, and he handled everything very professionally and efficiently. He carefully reviewed my already filed ITR, rectified the mistakes, and guided me step by step in correctly declaring the foreign assets. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and clear in his explanations, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable support for ITR filing, rectifications, or handling income tax notices.
