Your CA closes the books about 20 days after the month ends. By the time you see the numbers, the decisions are already made.

The 194-0/TCS double deduction maze
Marketplaces deduct income-tax TDS under Section 194-0 and GST TCS on the same sales - two deductions, two departments, two portals. The credits land in different systems, and most brands never match them to actual settlements - quietly overpaying tax or losing credits.
Faster Decision-Making
Your input credit is capped by what suppliers actually file - not what you paid. Vendors who file late, file wrong, or don't file at all silently shrink your ITC, and mismatch notices follow. By month-end, the damage is already done.
