Our Story

Pillai & Associates GST Consultancy Firm was established in 2007 by Mr. Lenin Pillai (LL.B) at Haware Fantasia Business Park, Sector-30, Vashi, Navi Mumbai. With a vision to provide exceptional quality services in tax and compliance, we began our journey during the complex pre-GST era.

Before GST was implemented on 1st July 2017, Indian businesses navigated through a labyrinth of Central Excise, Service Tax, VAT, Octroi, and numerous state-specific levies. Our firm developed expertise in managing these complex tax structures, filing monthly returns for Central Excise and Service Tax.

Today, we have successfully transitioned to the GST regime and expanded our services to provide comprehensive financial and compliance solutions for businesses across India.
