About the firm
About N D Savla & Associates, chartered accountants in Pune
A practice on Pashan–Sus Road in Baner, staffed by 70 professionals, doing one thing: making sure the businesses and families who rely on us never get caught out by a deadline, a mismatch or a notice they did not see coming.
The firm
Fifteen years of doing the unglamorous part properly
Compliance work is not complicated. It is detailed, repetitive, and unforgiving of shortcuts — which is exactly why so much of it goes wrong.
N D Savla & Associates was built to handle that detail at scale. Over fifteen years the practice has grown to seventy in-house professionals covering audit, direct tax, indirect tax, corporate law, valuation and insolvency — and more than fifteen thousand clients have passed through it.
Depth matters more than it looks. A firm that only files returns will file yours correctly and stop there. A firm that also argues scrutiny assessments and appears at the ITAT knows which positions get challenged, and drafts the return accordingly. The same logic runs through the rest of the practice: the people who handle GST appeals shape how we file GST returns.
We work with manufacturers, IT companies, professionals, developers, trusts and NRI families across Pune and beyond. The engagements look different, but the operating standard does not.
What we stand on
Professional, practical, and built on trust
Three statements we are willing to be measured against.
Vision
To be the chartered accountancy firm Pune businesses name first — not because we are the largest, but because our advice holds up when it is tested by a bank, an investor or an assessing officer.
Mission
To take the whole of tax, audit and compliance off our clients' desks and run it on a calendar they can see, with clear guidance in plain language and work delivered before the deadline rather than on it.
Culture
Transparency, responsiveness and attention to detail. If something has gone wrong we say so early, and we tell clients what a filing position actually risks rather than what is easiest to hear.
How we work
Five rules the whole practice runs on
These are not values on a wall. They are the reason a file leaves this office in the state it does.
Reconcile before you file
Returns are built from source data and agreed to AIS, Form 26AS and GSTR-2B first. Most notices are mismatches, and mismatches are preventable.
A partner reviews everything
An associate prepares, a qualified chartered accountant signs off. Nothing is filed on a junior's judgement alone, in busy season or out of it.
Scope and fees in writing, first
You get a written scope and a fee before work starts, and a compliance calendar for the year with every return, form and audit dated and owned.
One point of contact
You are not routed between departments. One person knows your file across income tax, GST and ROC, and pulls in specialists as needed.
We defend what we file
If the department questions a position we took, we answer it. Representation in notices, CIT appeals and ITAT matters is part of the job, not an upsell after something goes wrong.
Who we serve
The businesses Pune actually runs on
Different sectors carry very different compliance loads. These are the ones we see most.
Manufacturing & engineering
Chakan, Bhosari, Ranjangaon and the wider PCMC belt — where stock, job work and input credit drive everything.
IT, SaaS & services exporters
Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta — export of services, foreign remittances and holding structures.
Professionals & clinics
Doctors, architects, consultants and agencies across Aundh, Kothrud and Deccan billing under their own name.
Real estate & developers
Project-level compliance, buyer transactions and the reporting the authority expects each quarter.
Trusts, schools & NGOs
Exemption approvals, donation reporting and the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner filings that go with them.
NRIs & returning residents
Property, portfolios and inheritances held in India by families who no longer live here.
Startups & funded companies
From incorporation through to a round — with the exemptions and diligence trail investors ask for.
Groups in transition
Restructuring, acquisitions, family settlements and orderly exits — where valuation and law meet.
Depth
What "full service" means here
Plenty of firms describe themselves as full service. In practice it usually means tax and accounts, with everything else referred out. Ours covers the work most practices hand over.
Beyond the annual cycle
We hold capability in registered valuer work and merchant banker valuation, in insolvency roles including interim resolution professional and liquidator appointments, in forensic accounting and investigation, and in IPO advisory including SME listings and DRHP preparation.
Cross-border, both directions
Money leaving India and money coming in are governed by different regimes and we work across both — FDI reporting to the RBI, FC-GPR and FC-TRS, the annual FLA return, overseas direct investment, and entity setup through an Indian subsidiary, branch or liaison office.
Breadth is not a boast, it is continuity. The firm that filed your returns for six years is the one holding the working papers when a buyer runs financial due diligence on you, or when you need a net worth certificate at short notice. You are not starting an explanation from scratch.
Reporting you can act on
For clients on a full engagement the output is not just filings. It is monthly MIS, a quarterly review, and where it is wanted, virtual CFO input on pricing, working capital and forecasts — plus CMA data when the bank asks.
Where to find us
Baner Business Bay, Pashan–Sus Road
The office sits behind the Audi showroom on Pashan–Sus Road, a few minutes from Balewadi High Street and Aundh, and a straight run to Hinjewadi, Wakad and Baner Road. Parking is on site.
Most work happens over shared drives and calls, and clients across Maharashtra and outside India never need to visit. But for a first conversation about setting up a company, a scrutiny hearing or handing over years of records, sitting across a table is still faster than any amount of email.
If you are weighing us up against another firm, ask for the free first consultation. We will look at your last two years of filings and tell you what we would do differently — with no obligation on either side. Details on the contact page.

Before you call
Questions about working with us
Are you a chartered accountancy firm or a compliance agency?
A chartered accountancy firm. Returns, audit reports and certificates are signed by qualified chartered accountants, and the seventy-strong team is built around that. It matters because only a CA can sign a tax audit report, a net worth certificate or a statutory audit — an agency has to send that work elsewhere.
Who will actually handle my account day to day?
One named associate who knows your file across income tax, GST and ROC, with a partner reviewing before anything is filed. Specialists are pulled in for transfer pricing, valuation or litigation, but your point of contact does not change.
Is my business too small for a firm this size?
No. A sizeable part of the practice is proprietorships, professionals and small private limited companies. The scale exists so that deadline weeks are properly staffed, not so that small clients get pushed down a queue. Straightforward work is priced as straightforward work.
What happens in the first meeting?
It is free, and it is a review rather than a pitch. Bring your last two years of returns, the GST and TDS position, and any open ROC items. You will leave knowing what is missing, what is exposed and what a clean year would cost — whether or not you engage us.
Can you work with clients outside Pune and outside India?
Yes. Filing is entirely online, and the practice serves clients across Maharashtra and the rest of India, plus NRI clients in the Gulf, the US, the UK and Singapore. Physical presence is only needed for hearings, certain audits and a few registrations.
We already have an accountant. Can you take over mid-year?
Regularly. We run an accounting review on the opening position first — trial balance, GST and TDS reconciliations, open ROC items — so we know exactly what we are inheriting before we sign anything. That review is quoted separately and takes about two weeks for a typical SME.
What does an engagement cost?
Recurring compliance runs on an annual retainer billed monthly or quarterly, so there are no surprises. Project work — valuations, due diligence, transactions, litigation — is quoted per assignment after the first consultation. Nothing is billed before a written scope is agreed.
How far can you take a matter if the department disputes it?
Through the full ladder. Notice replies and scrutiny assessments, then appeal before the CIT(A) and representation at the ITAT, with parallel routes for GST and company law matters at the NCLT.
