Rajiv Associates is a Delhi-based firm of Chartered Accountants serving individuals, privately-held enterprises, listed companies, not-for-profits and other entities. We provide end-to-end engagement: from statutory compliance and assurance to transactional and regulatory advisory.
Founded in 1981, Rajiv Associates has spent more than four decades practising at the intersection of accounting discipline and Indian regulatory complexity.
The firm was established with a deliberate preference for depth over scale. Engagements are partner-led, and the client base — drawn from manufacturing, professional services, real estate, charitable institutions and high-net-worth individuals — is intentionally held to a size that permits sustained attention.
Our work is governed by the Standards on Auditing, the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the Companies Act 2013, prevailing Income-tax legislation, and the body of allied legislation that frames professional practice in India.
Statutory, internal and concurrent audits conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by ICAI.
Direct and indirect tax compliance, representation and advisory for individuals, businesses and other entities.
Advisory and compliance under company law, FEMA and allied corporate legislation.
Selective advisory engagements and outsourced accounting and CFO functions for growing enterprises.
End-to-end transfer pricing engagement for entities with international transactions or specified domestic transactions. Documentation, reporting, advisory and dispute support.
Every assignment is supervised by a partner from intake through delivery. There is no junior-only fieldwork on questions of judgement.
Working papers, supporting evidence and reasoning are maintained to a standard that withstands subsequent scrutiny — by clients, by auditors, by regulators.
Our practice operates within the framework of the ICAI Code of Ethics. Conflicts are screened at engagement intake and reviewed annually.
The descriptions below set out the nature of services we are engaged for. Scope, deliverables and fees are agreed on a per-engagement basis in writing.
Independent assurance carried out in conformity with the Standards on Auditing and the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
The firm conducts statutory, internal, concurrent and special-purpose audits for companies, partnerships, LLPs, trusts and societies. Engagements include risk assessment, audit planning, fieldwork, working-paper documentation and issuance of the audit report.
End-to-end direct and indirect tax services — compliance, representation and considered advisory.
We handle return preparation and filing for individuals, HUFs, firms, companies, LLPs, trusts and other entities. The firm represents clients before assessing officers, the Commissioner (Appeals), the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal and GST authorities.
Tax advisory is approached as an exercise in informed planning within the letter and the intent of the relevant statutes — never as aggressive avoidance.
Advisory and compliance work under the Companies Act, FEMA and allied legislation.
The firm assists with company formation, ongoing ROC compliance, FEMA and RBI filings for inbound and outbound transactions, and structured corporate actions including mergers, demergers and slump sales.
Where regulatory liaison is required, partners deal with authorities directly. Due-diligence reviews are conducted in conjunction with legal counsel as required.
Selective advisory engagements and outsourced finance functions for growing enterprises and not-for-profits.
We act as virtual CFO for a small number of mid-sized businesses, producing monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasts and board-level reporting. For startups, we structure entities and equity arrangements, set up accounting systems and handle ongoing compliance.
The firm also undertakes valuations under the Income-tax Act and Companies Act and provides FCRA-related advisory for charitable organisations.
A dedicated practice for entities with international transactions or specified domestic transactions with associated enterprises.
Indian transfer pricing law, governed by Sections 92 to 92F of the Income-tax statute and the corresponding rules, requires every taxpayer entering into such transactions to determine arm's-length pricing, maintain contemporaneous documentation and obtain an accountant's report in Form 3CEB. Inadequate documentation invites disallowance, primary and secondary adjustments, and steep penalties.
We handle the full engagement — from functional, asset and risk (FAR) analysis through method selection, benchmarking on accepted databases, and preparation of the Local file, Master file and Country-by-Country report where applicable. The firm also represents clients before the Transfer Pricing Officer, the Dispute Resolution Panel and in subsequent appellate forums, and advises on Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) applications.
