- I had the opportunity to work under an experienced Chartered Accountant, where I gained practical exposure to the Indian taxation system. During this period, I learned about various aspects of tax compliance, including the process of filing Goods and Services Tax (GST) returns and preparing Income Tax Returns (ITRS) for individuals and businesses. This experience helped me understand the regulatory framework, deadlines, documentation requirements, and common challenges faced by taxpayers. I also became familiar with tax software and online portals used for filing. Overall, it significantly strengthened my foundational knowledge in Indian taxation and real-world financial practices.
