Tax & Advisory · Mumbai

Structure that stands up to scrutiny.

Fiscara is a boutique tax practice for founders, promoters and finance teams. We take one defensible position, write it down, and build the file behind it — so it holds when an officer or a bench reads it too.

01 — The Firm

A tax practice built like a ledger — every figure traced to its source.

Most tax problems are not arguments about the law. They are arguments about the record. Fiscara begins with the ledger, not the letter: we reconcile the numbers, understand where each one came from, and only then form a view.

That discipline is why our opinions read cleanly at assessment and hold their shape on appeal. We work with a small number of clients at a time — promoters, CFOs and finance controllers across manufacturing, services and technology — and we keep one partner on every file, start to finish.

We do not sell speed for its own sake. We sell positions you can defend two years from now, when the notice arrives and the file is the only thing that speaks for you.

03 — Approach

How a file gets built.

Four steps, in the same order, on every matter. It is deliberately unglamorous — and it is why the position holds.

01

Read the record

We start with the ledger, not the letter. Every figure is traced to its source before we form a view.

02

Take a position

One defensible reading, written down, with the section, circular or ruling that supports it cited beside it.

03

Build the file

Submissions, annexures and reconciliations assembled the way an officer or a bench will open them.

04

Stand behind it

If the position is questioned, the partner who signed the opinion is the one who argues it.

Abstract facade of a modern building — a repeating geometric grid of panels.

Good structure is invisible until it is tested. Then it is the only thing that matters.

— The Fiscara standard

04 — Partners

The people who sign the opinion argue it.

No file is handed down to someone you have never met. Three partners lead the practice, each anchoring a discipline — and each stays on the matters they open.

Meera Raghunathan

Founding Partner · Direct Tax & Advisory

Advises promoters and CFOs on income-tax positions, withholding and cross-border structuring. 15+ years at the Mumbai bar, much of it spent turning messy records into clean, defensible files.

Aditya Shevde

Partner · GST & Indirect Tax

Leads classification, input-credit strategy and audit defence for manufacturers and platforms across Maharashtra. Reads the notification history so a position survives the department's second look.

Farida Contractor

Partner · Disputes & Appeals

Argues assessments and appeals before CIT(A) and the ITAT. Builds every file assuming it will be tested — because eventually the ones worth arguing always are.
