Chennai
Practice management software for CA firms in Chennai
Chennai is the seat of the ICAI's Southern India Regional Council and the working city of a large share of south India's chartered accountants. Its practices serve an economy of automobile and component makers, IT services, ports and logistics — clients with many registrations, steady GST and TDS work, and audits that run on schedule every year.
T4Suite gives a Chennai firm one place for the practice: each client's filings as recurring work, man-hours costed against the engagement, and GST invoices numbered correctly for every entity the firm bills from.
One invoice series per entity, as Rule 46 expects
A Chennai firm that bills from more than one entity — an audit LLP and a tax practice, say — needs each to keep its own consecutive invoice series. T4Suite gives every entity its own series with its own prefix, refuses a prefix that would push the number past sixteen characters, and lets you carry on from your last number if you move over mid-year.
Tasks, clients, team and bills are scoped to the entity you are working in, so the separation is kept by the software, not by memory.
Two half-years of professional tax, not one
Professional tax in Chennai is collected by the Greater Chennai Corporation every half-year, on half-yearly income, with returns due by 30 September and 31 March — a different rhythm from the monthly deductions most states use. For a practice whose clients employ staff, it is one more recurring deadline per client, and T4Suite keeps it on the calendar beside GST and TDS.
Chennai — questions firms ask
How does professional tax work for Chennai firms and their clients?
The Greater Chennai Corporation levies it half-yearly on half-yearly income, from nil up to ₹21,000 to ₹1,250 above ₹75,000 (rates from the second half of 2024-25). Returns are due by 30 September and 31 March.
Can T4Suite keep a separate invoice series for each of our entities?
Yes. Each entity has its own series and prefix, numbered consecutively, optionally with the financial year in it, and the number is fixed only when the bill is issued.
Does T4Suite file GST returns?
No. T4Suite tracks the filings as work per client and raises your firm's own invoices; the returns are filed by your team on the GST portal.
