Accounting Software for Mumbai Businesses and Their CAs

BecozAI Accounting & GST keeps GST invoices, payments, party ledgers, dues and full books in one place, and builds the GST return files you upload on the portal. It works alongside your CA and does not replace one. This page follows a Maharashtra month-end, date by date, including the GST change of 1 November 2026.

Your month, in order

A Mumbai business with staff and GST has a calendar that mixes central and state dates. Here is that calendar, with where BecozAI helps and where it does not.

By the 14th: GSTR-2B and IMS

GSTR-2B is generally generated on the 14th of the next month. The Invoice Management System lets you accept, reject or keep pending the invoices and credit notes your suppliers have reported, and you can act until the relevant GSTR-3B is filed (TaxGuru). BecozAI has GSTR-2B matching: you upload the 2B file and compare it with your purchase records. The IMS actions themselves are taken on the GST portal. The software does not take them for you.

By the 15th: professional tax

A Maharashtra notification of 28 February 2026 moved some professional tax return dates to the 15th, such as the annual return from 31 March to 15 March (notification text on TaxGuru). Your CA will ask for two registrations. PTRC is for employers, who deduct PT from salaries. PTEC is for each person in business, usually Rs 2,500 a year for most categories, though the sources we read differ on some categories (CalcGuru; the state's rate schedule is the one to check). BecozAI holds the salary data. It does not file PT returns.

From 1 November 2026: discounts after the sale

Notification 03/2026-Central Tax brought the new rule into force on 1 November 2026. A discount given after the supply no longer needs a prior agreement or invoice-by-invoice linking. It reduces the taxable value if the supplier issues a credit note under section 34 and the buyer reverses the matching input tax credit (TaxGuru). Read the notification itself before you rely on this.

An example from a wholesaler in Dadar, which is one of the markets listed by Mumbai APMC:

StepTaxable value (Rs)GST at 18% (Rs)
Invoice to a retailer1,00,00018,000 (9,000 CGST + 9,000 SGST)
Year-end discount, no prior agreement5,000900 (450 + 450)
Credit note issued by the wholesaler5,000900
Retailer reverses input credit900

The credit note is for Rs 5,900 in all. BecozAI has credit notes, so you can record it there. The buyer's ITC reversal is the buyer's own entry. The deadline for a credit note about a financial year is 30 November after that year ends, or the annual return date if that is earlier. Our guide to the November 2026 credit note rule has more.

What your CA will ask for

If your CA works in Tally, there are two routes. The Tally XML export is built in. There is also a two-way connector that runs on a Windows PC with Tally open and syncs every 15 minutes. The connector is new, so test it on a copy of your data with your CA before you depend on it.

If your CA lives in Tally

Many Mumbai CAs work in Tally every day, and they will not change for you. That is fine. A common set-up is BecozAI as the billing and dues desk, with the data exported to Tally for the CA. Bank statement import and reconciliation are in BecozAI too, so your own team can match the bank before the CA sees the books. Try one month of your real bank statement in the trial, because bank file formats differ from bank to bank.

What it does not do

What is the new GST rule for discounts after the sale?

From 1 November 2026, per Notification 03/2026-Central Tax as reported by TaxGuru, a post-sale discount no longer needs a prior agreement. The supplier issues a credit note under section 34 and the buyer reverses the matching input credit. Check the notification with your CA.

Does BecozAI work with Tally?

There is a Tally XML export. There is also a two-way connector that needs a Windows PC with Tally open and syncs every 15 minutes. It is new, so test it on a copy of your data first.

No. Accept, reject and pending actions are taken on the GST portal. BecozAI helps you compare the 2B file with your purchase records.
