Tax law in India operates at the intersection of statute, CBDT circulars, judicial precedent, and AO discretion — and disputes often arise where these four sources conflict. We advise on planning, structuring, and — when the assessment goes wrong — on the full appellate path from CIT(A) through ITAT to the High Court and Supreme Court. For cross-border structures, our international tax practice covers Pillar Two minimum tax implications, DTAA positions, and PE risk for the growing number of Indian businesses with global operations.
