Tax Efficiency and Compliance — Handled with Precision by Subodh Bajpai

Subodh Bajpai's combined legal and financial background ensures tax advice is both technically accurate and practically implementable.
Why Tax Advisory Needs Both Finance and Law
Subodh Bajpai's Approach to Tax & Audit Consulting
Tax advisory in India sits at the intersection of finance and law — and most tax advisors are trained in only one of these disciplines. A chartered accountant may understand tax code minutiae but may not see the broader legal implications of a transaction structure. A lawyer may be expert in tax litigation but may not deeply understand the business model and financial statements of the client they are advising.
Subodh Bajpai's background — MBA in Finance from XLRI Jamshedpur, LLB, LLM, and active practice as an Advocate at the Delhi High Court — gives him a genuinely rare vantage point for tax advisory. Subodh Bajpai understands the business context in which tax decisions are made, the financial consequences of different tax positions, and the legal defensibility of structures if challenged by tax authorities.
At Unified Capital and Investments, Subodh Bajpai leads the tax and audit consulting practice with a philosophy that tax efficiency must never compromise compliance — and compliance must never be an excuse for paying more tax than the law requires. The goal is to achieve the best legitimate tax outcome for each client, documented with the rigour that withstands scrutiny assessment.
Tax Services at a Glance
What Sets Subodh Bajpai Apart in Tax
Service Spectrum
Tax & Audit Services from Unified Capital — Led by Subodh Bajpai
From day-to-day GST compliance to complex cross-border transfer pricing documentation, Subodh Bajpai's team provides end-to-end tax and audit support.
Corporate Income Tax Planning & Filing
Subodh Bajpai and the Unified Capital team provide corporate income tax planning that goes beyond compliance — structuring business operations, depreciation claims, deduction optimisation, and group entity arrangements to legally minimise tax outflow. This includes advance tax planning at the start of each financial year, quarterly advance tax calculations, and timely ITR filing with full documentation support.
Key Areas
GST Registration, Returns & Compliance
GST compliance is a continuous operational requirement that, if neglected, attracts interest, penalties, and show-cause notices. Subodh Bajpai's team handles the full spectrum of GST compliance: new registration, monthly and quarterly return filing (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 annual), input tax credit (ITC) reconciliation, and representation before GST authorities for notices and assessments. Clients benefit from a compliance calendar that ensures no deadline is missed.
Key Areas
Statutory & Internal Audits
Statutory audits are a legal obligation for companies; internal audits are a management tool for control and efficiency. Subodh Bajpai's team conducts statutory audits in compliance with the Companies Act 2013 and auditing standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Internal audits are customised to the client's business model — focusing on high-risk areas identified through a risk-based audit plan. Audit findings are reported with clear recommendations, not just observations.
Key Areas
Financial Due Diligence
Due diligence is critical for any M&A transaction, private equity investment, joint venture formation, or significant funding event. Subodh Bajpai provides financial due diligence that examines target company financials with the critical eye of an investor — identifying overstatements, contingent liabilities, working capital irregularities, and tax risks. Subodh Bajpai's dual finance and legal background is particularly valuable in due diligence, where the financial findings often have legal implications.
Key Areas
Tax Disputes & Representation
Tax demands, scrutiny assessments, and show-cause notices are unfortunately common for businesses. Subodh Bajpai provides representation before Income Tax Authorities (ITO, CIT, ITAT) and GST authorities — drafting technically sound responses, managing the assessment process, and filing appeals where necessary. Subodh Bajpai's legal background as an Advocate at the Delhi High Court adds authority to tax dispute representations that most CAs cannot match.
Key Areas
Transfer Pricing Documentation
For businesses with related-party international transactions, transfer pricing documentation is both a compliance requirement and a risk management tool. Subodh Bajpai's team prepares transfer pricing documentation — including Master File, Local File, and Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) where applicable — that meets OECD guidelines and Indian transfer pricing regulations under Section 92 of the Income Tax Act, minimising adjustment risk on assessment.

Our Methodology
The Subodh Bajpai Tax & Audit Process
Tax & Compliance Health Check
Subodh Bajpai's team begins with a tax and compliance health check — reviewing the last 2-3 years of returns, identifying pending notices or demands, assessing GST compliance status, and evaluating the adequacy of existing documentation. This diagnostic gives both Subodh Bajpai's team and the client a clear picture of where the risks and opportunities lie.
Tax Planning & Structuring
Based on the health check, Subodh Bajpai designs a tax planning strategy for the current and upcoming financial year — identifying legitimate deduction opportunities, structuring transactions for tax efficiency, and setting up the compliance calendar to ensure all deadlines are met without penalty. Tax planning at the start of the year is always more effective than reactive filing at year-end.
Compliance Execution
Subodh Bajpai's team executes all compliance obligations on time — GST returns, advance tax installments, TDS deductions and deposits, annual ITR filing, and statutory audit completion within regulatory timelines. Clients receive advance reminders of upcoming obligations and confirmation once each obligation is discharged.
Dispute Resolution & Representation
Where notices, demands, or assessments arise, Subodh Bajpai's team responds promptly with technically sound and legally supported positions. Subodh Bajpai personally reviews all significant dispute responses, leveraging his legal training as an Advocate at the Delhi High Court to ensure the strongest possible case is presented to tax authorities.
