GST Health Check find gaps before the department does.
Comprehensive GST health check and compliance review services in Mumbai and across India — return filing review, ITC reconciliation, HSN/SAC code correctness, reverse charge compliance, e-way bill and e-invoice compliance, and pre-audit risk assessment by ICAI-registered Chartered Accountants.
A GST health check is a structured, independent review of a business's GST compliance posture — examining returns filed, ITC claimed, taxes paid, invoicing practices, and procedural adherence against the requirements of the CGST Act, IGST Act, and CGST Rules. Unlike a GST audit, a health check is proactively initiated by the taxpayer to identify and correct gaps before they are discovered by the GST department through scrutiny, audit, or notices.
The most common compliance gaps identified in GST health checks include ITC claimed beyond GSTR-2B amounts, ITC on blocked credit categories under Section 17(5) such as personal expenses, food and beverages, and club memberships; incorrect HSN codes on invoices leading to wrong tax rate application; non-payment of reverse charge on notified services; non-generation or incorrect generation of e-way bills; and discrepancies between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B that have not been rectified in subsequent returns.
Our GST health check covers a systematic review of all GST returns filed during the review period, ITC register reconciliation with GSTR-2B, blocked credit analysis, reverse charge liability identification, HSN/SAC code verification, e-way bill compliance assessment, e-invoice compliance review for applicable taxpayers, and delivery of a detailed health check report with risk ratings, identified gaps, and a corrective action plan. The review can be conducted for a single financial year or a rolling 3-year period.

Benefits of a GST Health Check
Frequently Asked Questions
A GST health check is a proactive, independent review of your GST compliance covering returns, ITC, invoicing, and procedural adherence. It identifies gaps and provides a corrective action plan before the GST department raises a notice or initiates an audit.

An annual health check after the close of each financial year is recommended. Businesses that have recently undergone restructuring, changed product lines, or experienced high return notices should consider a health check immediately.
