Santosh and Co.

Khagaul is one of those quietly busy towns just outside Patna city that does not always get the attention it deserves. It has a solid base of small traders, salaried professionals, government employees, and growing businesses — all of whom need dependable financial and tax support. Santosh and Co., located at the Ground Floor of Gayatri Lakshmi Nivaas in Aryabhat Colony, Khagaul, is one of those firms that has quietly built a reputation for doing exactly that. For anyone searching for a chartered accountant near Khagaul or a CA firm in the Patna outskirts area, this is a practice worth considering. They handle the full range of accountancy and compliance work that individuals and businesses need, and they do it with the kind of focused attention that larger city-centre firms sometimes struggle to offer. Income tax is something almost everyone has to deal with, and yet it remains one of the most confusing parts of personal and business finance for most people. Whether you are a salaried employee trying to file your ITR correctly, a freelancer figuring out which regime suits you better, or a business owner managing advance tax and self-assessment, having a knowledgeable CA by your side changes everything. Santosh and Co. helps clients across all these situations — they look at your actual numbers, apply the right deductions and exemptions, and make sure your filing is both accurate and optimised. GST compliance is another area where this firm adds real value. Since the rollout of GST, the compliance burden on small and medium businesses has gone up significantly. Monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings, quarterly returns for composition dealers, annual GSTR-9 reconciliation — it is a lot to keep track of alongside actually running a business. The team at Santosh and Co. takes this off your plate, making sure deadlines are met, input tax credits are correctly claimed, and your GST records stay clean. They also handle new GST registrations for businesses just getting started. Audit services are another core offering. Tax audits under Section 44AB apply to businesses crossing certain turnover thresholds, and getting this done properly is not just a legal requirement — it is also a chance to review your financial records with a fresh pair of eyes. The firm conducts tax audits, statutory audits, and internal audits with thoroughness and attention to detail. Clients who have gone through audits with them often come away with a clearer picture of their own business finances, which is exactly how it should work. For anyone starting a new business in the Khagaul or Patna area, Santosh and Co. can guide you through the process of company registration, LLP formation, or proprietorship setup. They help with name approval, drafting of incorporation documents, filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and all the post-registration compliance that follows. ROC annual filings, director KYC, and statutory register maintenance are all part of the ongoing support they provide to incorporated entities. TDS is one of those compliance areas where mistakes happen quietly and the consequences show up later — interest, penalties, and notices that take time and energy to resolve. The firm handles TDS deduction calculations, timely deposit, and quarterly return filing so that clients stay on the right side of the tax department without having to think about it every month. Bookkeeping and accounting support rounds out the picture. Clean, up-to-date accounts are the foundation of every other financial decision a business makes. Whether you need help setting up a basic accounting system or want ongoing monthly support to maintain your ledgers and generate financial statements, this is something Santosh and Co. can assist with. Good books also make audit season far less stressful — something every business owner learns eventually. The firm operates Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6:30 PM, and is closed on weekends. This schedule suits the working patterns of most of their business and professional clients in the Khagaul area. Located at Ground Floor, Gayatri Lakshmi Nivaas, Aryabhat Colony, Nandu Tola Gandhi Vidyalaya Road, Khagaul, Patna — 801105, Santosh and Co. is well-placed to serve clients from Khagaul, Danapur, Digha, and the western stretches of Patna.
