Sunil Maloo & Co. is a direct tax practice in Ahmedabad. We work on one side of one subject: we defend assessees in direct tax proceedings. Search and seizure assessments, faceless assessments, appeals before the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals), and appeals before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.

We do not do statutory audit and we do not run a compliance desk. The practice is deliberately small and the work is deliberately difficult.

The Work - You will be inside matters, not around them.
• Reading an assessment record end to end, including the seized material, and finding the point the order actually turns on
• Drafting written submissions, grounds of appeal, applications under section 250(5) for admission of additional grounds, and replies to show cause notices
• Researching provisions and case law to a standard where every citation has been read in the original and verified against the primary source, never lifted from a headnote or a digest
• Working across both the Income-tax Act, 1961 and the Income Tax Act, 2025, and mapping one to the other




• Preparing matters for hearing before the CIT(A) and the ITAT, and attending those hearings
• Building the firm's precedent library and submission formats so that the next matter starts further ahead than the last one did

Who we are looking for

Two to five years. You have handled assessments under section 143(3), reassessments, and appeals before the CIT(A). You can take a brief and produce a first draft that is worth editing. Exposure to search assessments or to the Tribunal is an advantage, not a requirement.

Common to both tracks:
• Qualification: Chartered Accountant, or LL.B. with practice as an advocate. If y
