Welcome to FilingSuvidha. These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of this website and the services made available through it.
By accessing this website, submitting information, requesting a service, making a payment, or otherwise using our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
1. About This Website
This website is independently owned and operated by LSA Advisory Services LLP and is a privately operated service platform.
The website is not affiliated, associated, sponsored, endorsed, authorized, or officially connected with any government department, ministry, statutory authority, regulatory body, or other governmental entity.
Any forms, questionnaires, information requests, or documents available through this website are intended to collect information and understand client requirements. They are not government-prescribed forms and should not be treated as official government applications.
2. Nature of Our Services
We provide professional assistance, facilitation, advisory, compliance, documentation, and related services based on the requirements communicated by clients.
Services may include taxation, accounting, corporate compliance, business registration, advisory, and other professional services specifically agreed with the client. The onboarding document identifies services such as GST registration and returns, income tax returns, TDS returns, accounting, bookkeeping, company and LLP incorporation, ROC and MCA compliance, Director KYC, DIN-related services, FEMA, RBI compliance, and project reports.
Only services specifically agreed upon in writing, through an engagement confirmation, quotation, invoice, or other applicable communication shall form part of the engagement. Additional services requested by the client may constitute a separate engagement and may attract additional professional fees.
3. No Government Affiliation
Any reference on this website to government departments, portals, authorities, registrations, filings, certificates, or statutory procedures is provided for informational and service-facilitation purposes.
Our services should not be interpreted as government services unless expressly stated otherwise.
Any amount paid through the platform represents a service or platform facilitation fee and should not be interpreted as a government fee, statutory fee, or fee charged by a government authority unless specifically identified as such.
Government fees, stamp duties, taxes, certification charges, and third-party expenses may be payable separately unless expressly included in the agreed quotation or engagement.
4. Client Information and Responsibilities
The client is responsible for providing complete, accurate, current, and lawful information and documents required for the selected services.
The client agrees to:
Provide true and complete information and documentation.
Submit required documents within the timelines communicated to us.
Promptly inform us about changes relating to the business, management, address, registrations, or other relevant information.
Review filings, returns, applications, and other documents wherever client approval or confirmation is required.
The client remains responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of information and documents supplied to us.
5. Documents and Supporting Information
Depending on the service, clients may be required to provide documents such as PAN, Aadhaar, GST certificates, incorporation documents, MOA and AOA, LLP agreements, partnership deeds, financial statements, bank statements, previous returns, and other documents reasonably required for completion of the engagement.
We may rely on the documents and information supplied by the client while preparing or submitting applications, returns, forms, statements, and other documents.
6. Timelines and Statutory Due Dates
Statutory filings and regulatory processes may be subject to prescribed deadlines.
Where delays result from late submission of documents, incomplete or incorrect information, delayed approvals, government portal downtime, technical issues, bank delays, third-party delays, or circumstances beyond reasonable control, we shall not be responsible for resulting penalties, interest, late fees, additional government charges, loss of statutory benefits, or other consequences, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
We may make reasonable efforts to complete an assignment within the applicable timeframe, but completion may depend upon client cooperation, government authorities, portals, banks, and other third parties.
7. Fees and Payment
Professional fees shall be payable according to the applicable quotation, invoice, engagement letter, or agreed service terms.
Government charges, statutory fees, taxes, stamp duties, certification charges, and third-party expenses shall be payable separately unless specifically included in the agreed fees.
Invoices are payable within the period specified in the applicable invoice or engagement terms. The onboarding terms provide for payment within 30 days from the invoice date and permit interest on overdue amounts at 18% per annum, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law if lower.
Fees may be revised where there is a change in scope, applicable laws, compliance requirements, documentation requirements, meetings, or urgent/expedited work.
8. Suspension or Termination for Non-Payment
Where an invoice remains unpaid beyond the applicable payment period, we may suspend ongoing services, withhold deliverables where legally permissible, decline further statutory filings, terminate the engagement, and seek recovery of outstanding amounts and applicable costs.
We shall not be responsible for penalties, losses, or other consequences resulting from suspension or termination caused by non-payment, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
9. Third-Party Services
Depending on the nature and requirements of an assignment, we may engage, outsource, or coordinate with external professionals, agencies, consultants, or service providers to facilitate or complete requested services.
Third-party services may be subject to their own terms, timelines, charges, requirements, and conditions.
10. Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Where a client authorizes us to use their Digital Signature Certificate, such use shall be limited to the agreed professional services.
The DSC authorization may cover preparing, signing, uploading, filing, verifying, and submitting applications, forms, returns, statements, certificates, responses, declarations, and other documents before applicable statutory, regulatory, or governmental authorities.
The client confirms that the DSC belongs to them and has been validly obtained and that information and documents provided for filing are accurate and complete.
We agree to exercise reasonable care while handling an authorized DSC and shall not use it for personal, unauthorized, fraudulent, or unlawful purposes.
A DSC authorization may be revoked by the client through written notice. Such revocation will be subject to the applicable authorization terms and shall not affect filings or actions already completed before receipt of the revocation.
11. No Legal Advice or Legal Representation
This platform is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, attorney-client services, or other legal services.
Information available through this website is provided for general informational and administrative purposes and should not be treated as a substitute for professional legal advice.
Where a matter requires legal interpretation, legal representation, legal proceedings, or legal document drafting, users should consult a qualified advocate or law firm.
12. Confidentiality
We will maintain the confidentiality of client information subject to applicable law and professional requirements.
Information may be disclosed where disclosure is required by law or regulatory authorities, necessary for completion of the agreed professional services, or authorized by the client.

Original documents provided by the client remain the property of the client.
15. Prohibited or Unlawful Activities
We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue an engagement involving illegal activities, fraudulent transactions, misrepresentation, money laundering, or activities contrary to professional ethics or applicable law.
Clients must not use this website or our services for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or unauthorized purposes.
16. Limitation of Liability
Our services are provided based on the information and documents supplied by the client.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be responsible for losses arising from incorrect information supplied by the client, penalties resulting from incorrect information, business losses, loss of profit, consequential or indirect damages, or decisions taken by the client without complete disclosure of relevant facts.
Subject to applicable law, the total liability arising from a specific engagement shall not exceed the professional fees received for that particular engagement, except where such limitation is prohibited by law.
17. Client Indemnity
The client agrees to indemnify and hold LSA Advisory Services LLP harmless against losses, penalties, demands, or liabilities arising from incorrect, incomplete, false, misleading, or delayed information or documents supplied by the client, subject to applicable law.
18. Cancellation and Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement by written notice, subject to the applicable engagement terms.
Fees for services already completed shall remain payable. Government fees and statutory charges already incurred shall not be refundable unless otherwise required by applicable law or specifically agreed.
Any advance amount may be adjusted against services already rendered, subject to the agreed terms.
19. Website Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and current information on the website. However, statutory requirements, government procedures, fees, forms, deadlines, and regulatory requirements may change.
Information available on the website should therefore be considered general information and service-related guidance rather than a guarantee of any particular government approval, registration, certificate, outcome, or timeline.
