Serving Hyderabad remotely, from Guntur

Tax & Compliance for Hyderabad and Telangana Businesses

We are a Guntur practice, five hours or so away by road. For Hyderabad clients that means a remote engagement — which suits portal-based compliance work well, and suits some other things badly. Both are set out below.

We reply within 15 minutes during Mon–Sat, 10am–7pm.

Where we are, and what that honestly means

Our office is in Koritepadu, Guntur. Hyderabad is 270 to 300 km from here by road, depending on the route — five hours or so each way. We are not going to describe that as "serving Hyderabad" in the way a firm with an office in Madhapur can.

What we can do is run your compliance properly from here, because almost all of it is portal work that does not care where either of us sits. What we cannot do is be in a room in Hyderabad this week. If that matters to you, the next section says so before you spend time on us.

When a Hyderabad firm is the better choice

We would rather lose the enquiry than take work we will do worse than someone down the road from you. Pick a local firm if:

  • You want someone who can attend at short notice. A hearing moved forward by a week, an officer who wants to see the premises tomorrow — neither works well at five hours' distance.
  • Your GST registration is likely to draw a physical verification. The officer inspects your Hyderabad premises. We can prepare you thoroughly for it, but we cannot stand in it.
  • You want to meet your accountant face to face regularly. Some people work that way and it is a perfectly good reason. We are a poor fit for it from Guntur.

If none of those apply, the distance stops mattering quite quickly.

What crossing the state line actually changes

This is the part that makes Hyderabad genuinely different from our Vijayawada clients, who are in the same state as us. Telangana is a separate tax jurisdiction from Andhra Pradesh, and three things follow:

  • GST is registered and administered state by state. A Telangana GSTIN begins 36; an Andhra Pradesh one begins 37. Your registration sits with the Telangana Commercial Taxes Department or with the Centre, depending on how your file was allotted. On the central side, Hyderabad is split by area between four CGST commissionerates — Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Medchal and Rangareddy — and their divisions and ranges were redrawn from 1 May 2025, so an older letter may name an office that no longer handles your file. We check your current jurisdiction on the GST portal before answering any notice instead of assuming it works like Guntur.
  • Company filings go to a different registry. Telangana companies and LLPs fall under the Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad, at Corporate Bhawan in Nagole, which has territorial jurisdiction over the whole state. Andhra Pradesh companies do not. If you also hold an Andhra Pradesh entity, the two file to different registrars and the deadlines are tracked separately.
  • Professional tax is a state levy. Telangana has its own professional tax Act and registration, separate from Andhra Pradesh's. The salary slabs happen to match — nothing up to ₹15,000 a month, ₹150 up to ₹20,000, ₹200 above — but some business rates do not: a partner drawing remuneration from a firm pays ₹1,250 a year in Telangana and ₹2,500 in Andhra Pradesh. If you employ people in both states you have two separate registrations and two separate sets of returns, which is a common thing for businesses expanding from Hyderabad to miss.

If you operate in both states, that split is worth an hour of conversation before anything is filed. It is cheaper to get the registrations right than to unpick them.

One Hyderabad change for salaried clients

From tax year 2026-27, Hyderabad is one of eight cities where the HRA exemption can reach 50% of basic salary instead of 40%. Rule 279 of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 added it to the list, with Bengaluru, Pune and Ahmedabad, alongside Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai. The exemption exists only in the old regime, so run the old vs new regime comparison before you choose.

How a remote engagement actually runs

  1. One WhatsApp thread, answered by a person

    Not a ticket queue and not a reception desk. Most questions are settled in that thread the same day.

  2. We track your deadlines, you do not

    You should not be the one remembering GSTR-3B. We work backwards from your due dates and ask for documents before it is urgent. Our compliance calendar shows which dates apply to your entity type and turnover.

  3. Documents move digitally, in whatever shape you have them

    Photographs of invoices are fine. A Tally backup is fine. We have yet to meet a record-keeping system we could not work with.

  4. Representation where it is permitted without travel

    A good deal of departmental correspondence is written, and we handle that from here. Where a personal appearance is genuinely required in Hyderabad, we will tell you plainly whether travelling makes sense or whether you are better served by someone local for that one step.

What we handle for Hyderabad clients

GST registration is deliberately not in that list. It is the one service where a physical verification can be ordered at your premises, so we would rather talk it through first than put it forward as routine remote work.
