ApplyLegal

ApplyLegal operates as a firm of qualified Chartered Accountants, not as a software portal. Every tax return, registration, and advisory engagement is assigned to a specific CA who remains on the file for the entire year. The firm explicitly rejects automated handoffs and tiered premium features, holding that cases involving capital gains, F&O income, NRI taxation, or scrutiny notices require professional judgment rather than self-serve software.

This question is not applicable. ApplyLegal is a practising CA firm providing professional services in direct tax, corporate advisory, intellectual property, and project finance. It does not manage or deploy investment capital.

The firm maintains four practice areas. Direct tax covers ITR filing across all forms, tax planning, advance tax, and notice response. Corporate advisory handles entity incorporation, MCA compliance, ESOP setup, and FDI advisory. Intellectual property covers trademark search, registration, and opposition management. Project finance covers debt syndication, TEV reports, and working capital assessment.

ApplyLegal provides a clear all-inclusive quote before any work begins and operates on a fixed-fee model. The firm states upfront that if the work exceeds the estimate due to its own misjudgment, the additional cost is not passed to the client. Its pricing starts at ₹1,000 for ITR filing plans and scales based on the complexity of the engagement.

ApplyLegal is based in India and runs a fully online practice serving clients across all Indian states and NRIs in the UAE, USA, UK, Singapore, and Australia. All engagements — from ITR filing to company registration — are conducted remotely, communicating primarily through WhatsApp and email. The firm uses physical office visits only by exception.
