Other Services — Your Complete Business Support Partner
Beyond accounting, GST, and tax — a business needs licences, registrations, financial planning, and reliable document management. GCA offers a curated range of complementary services in-house, ensuring quality and seamless coordination across all your business needs from a single trusted source.
Business Registrations — Essential for Every New Entity
Once your business entity is formed, a series of foundational registrations must be completed before you can legally operate. GCA handles all of these as part of a complete business setup — so nothing is missed.
Required for any commercial establishment — shop, office, restaurant, hotel, salon, clinic, or warehouse — under the respective State Shops and Establishments Act. In Delhi, governed by the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954.
GCA handles PAN and TAN applications for all entity types — individual, HUF, company, LLP, partnership firm, society, and trust. Although PAN and TAN are automatically issued via SPICe+ for companies, separate applications may be required for other entities.
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic equivalent of a physical signature — it authenticates the identity of the signatory in online transactions with government portals. GCA helps procure Class 3 DSCs for all purposes.
Professional Tax (PT) is a state-level tax levied on persons exercising a profession, trade, or employment. It is applicable in several Indian states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, and others. Not applicable in Delhi, UP, Rajasthan, and some others.
Investment, Insurance & Loan Advisory Services
Good financial decisions extend beyond compliance. GCA provides trusted guidance on personal and business financial planning — helping you grow and protect wealth while remaining tax-efficient. Our CA team brings a holistic view: your finances, your taxes, and your investments are interconnected.
Tax-efficient investment planning tailored to your income, risk appetite, and financial goals. Our CA team aligns your investment strategy with your overall tax position — so you are not just investing, but investing smartly.
Advisory is based on general financial principles and publicly available information. Past returns are not indicative of future results. We recommend consulting a SEBI-registered Investment Advisor for regulated investment products.
Investment Advisory details →The right insurance coverage protects your personal wealth, business assets, and employees. GCA helps you evaluate your insurance needs in the context of your business structure, liabilities, and tax planning — and works with multiple insurers to find appropriate coverage.
Insurance products are provided by licensed insurance companies. GCA assists with selection and coordination — not as an IRDAI-licensed agent in all cases. We recommend verifying policy terms directly with the insurer.
Insurance Advisory details →Access to the right credit at the right time can be the difference between growth and stagnation. GCA helps businesses and individuals prepare loan-ready documentation, understand eligibility, and connect with appropriate lenders — banks, NBFCs, and government schemes.
Loan sanction is at the discretion of the lending institution. GCA assists with documentation and coordination — not as an NBFC or lender. Interest rates and terms vary by lender and borrower profile.
Loan Arrangement details →Secure Cloud Document Management — A GCA Exclusive
At GCA, we believe that working with your CA should be as easy as sending a message. Our cloud-based document management system eliminates the hassles of couriers, email attachments, and WhatsApp forwards — giving you a secure, organised, and always-available document hub.
This is a complimentary service available to all GCA clients at no extra cost.
How It Works
Share documents with GCA through our secure cloud portal — instead of couriers, email attachments, or personal WhatsApp. Simply visit the provided upload link and drop your files in. Supported formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, Excel, Word, and more.
We provide every client with a free cloud account where you can store all your important financial and compliance documents. Your invoices, ITRs, GST returns, balance sheets, certificates, and agreements — all in one secure place.
Once your returns, certificates, or other documents are prepared, GCA uploads the completed files back to your cloud account. No waiting for physical documents or email attachments. Everything is timestamped and organised by service type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shop & Establishment registration mandatory for an online business or home office? +
In most states, Shop & Establishment registration is required for any commercial establishment — which typically includes any premises where a business is carried on, whether or not it is open to the public. For home-based businesses and online-only businesses, the requirement depends on the state's specific definition. In Delhi, the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act generally covers all commercial establishments. Many banks also require a valid Shop Act licence to open a current account. GCA advises on applicability for your specific situation and state.
Can I apply for PAN for my company or LLP? What form is required? +
Yes. Every business entity — company, LLP, partnership firm, HUF, society, or trust — needs its own PAN (separate from the promoters' personal PANs). For companies incorporated via SPICe+ and LLPs via FiLLiP, PAN is automatically allotted along with the Certificate of Incorporation — no separate application is needed. For partnership firms, HUF, societies, and trusts, a separate PAN application in Form 49A must be filed with NSDL (Protean eGov). GCA handles PAN applications for all entity types.
Is the GCA cloud document service secure? What happens to my documents? +
Yes. The GCA cloud service is designed specifically for sharing and storing financial and compliance documents securely. Every client account is password-protected, and shared links are not publicly accessible. Documents are backed up to prevent loss. We do not share your documents with any third party without your explicit instruction. Your personal and business financial data is handled with the same confidentiality obligations that govern our CA-client relationship. The cloud system is a convenience tool — your original documents remain yours.
Does GCA charge separately for the cloud document service? +
No. The GCA cloud document service is complimentary for all clients who engage GCA for any of our services — accounting, GST, income tax, company formation, or any other. There is no additional charge for setting up or using your cloud account. It is our way of making the CA-client relationship more efficient and accessible — especially for clients outside Delhi who cannot visit our office.
Does GCA assist with government scheme loans like MUDRA or CGTMSE? +
Yes. GCA assists with preparing the documentation required for government scheme loans including MUDRA (Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency) loans under the Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (Shishu up to ₹50,000; Kishore ₹50,000–₹5 lakh; Tarun ₹5 lakh–₹10 lakh), and CGTMSE (Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises) scheme loans which provide collateral-free credit to MSMEs up to ₹500 lakh. We prepare financial projections, business plans, CMA data, and all supporting documents for loan applications. Loan sanction is subject to the lending bank's assessment.
