ABOUT THE COMPANY

Pirgal Consulting Private Limited is a multidisciplinary consulting company based in Bangalore. We provide allied and support services across accounting and finance, direct and indirect taxation, GST and tax litigation support, legal and regulatory compliance, construction and real estate. We work alongside Chartered Accountants, Advocates and other practising professionals, supporting them and their clients on live matters — which means our teams build technical depth across several disciplines rather than within a single vertical.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will work within our GST litigation support team on notices, departmental audits, adjudication and appeals. This is a technical, drafting-heavy role for someone who wants to build real indirect-tax litigation depth rather than stay in routine compliance filing. You will work on live matters from the first notice through to the appellate stage, alongside the Chartered Accountants and Advocates engaged on those matters and under senior supervision throughout.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Draft replies to GST notices — ASMT-10 scrutiny notices, DRC-01A intimations, show cause notices under Sections 73 and 74, and departmental audit observations under Section 65.
- Prepare appeals before the Appellate Authority (APL-01) and assist in preparing matters for the GST Appellate Tribunal, including grounds of appeal, statements of facts and paperbooks.
- Carry out reconciliations that support the defence — GSTR-1 vs GSTR-3B vs GSTR-2B vs books, ITC reversals, RCM exposure, turnover and e-way bill differences.
- Analyse client records, identify the exposure honestly and build the technical position with supporting provisions, circulars, notifications and case law.
- Support representation before adjudicating and appellate authorities — prepare the brief and the supporting paper,



attend personal hearings and departmental meetings alongside the professional appearing on the matter, and record the proceedings.
- Handle GST portal work relating to litigation — filings, submissions, DRC-03 payments and refund claims where connected to the matter.
- Track deadlines, limitation dates and hearing schedules on the Company's case tracker, and report matter status to the reporting manager.
- Coordinate with the audit, accounts and legal teams on matters that cut across verticals — particularly construction and real estate clients.

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

- Sound understanding of the CGST/SGST/IGST Acts, Rules, and the practical mechanics of GST compliance.
- Demonstrated drafting ability — clear written English is the single most significant skill in this role.
- Comfortable with Excel-based reconciliation of large data sets and with Tally or similar accounting software.
- Good communication skills and the confidence to speak to clients and department officers.
- Fluency in English required; Kannada preferred.
- Ability to manage several live matters at once and to be accountable for statutory deadlines.
- Exposure to income tax litigation, MSME facilitation or FEMA is an added advantage but not essential.

WHAT WE OFFER

- A pure litigation-support seat — not a compliance filing desk.
- Working alongside practising Chartered Accountants and Advocates on live matters, which is the fastest way to build real litigation depth.
- Direct mentoring from senior team members, and access to Manupatra and the Company's internal SOP and precedent library.
- Cross-exposure to construction and real-estate clients where indirect tax questions are commercially significant.
- Support for CA Final studies, including study leave around attempts.
