The scheme allows Indian taxpayers — particularly those who are Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR) — who have failed to disclose foreign income or assets in past returns to regularise their position and avoid penalties and prosecution under the Black Money Act, 2015. ### Eligible assets Overseas bank accounts; foreign investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds); property outside India; business interests abroad; foreign income (interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.). ### Immunity benefits No penalty or prosecution under the Income-tax Act or Black Money Act. No reopening of disclosed income/assets. Immunity is automatic and statutory, not discretionary. ### Risks of non-disclosure Significant penalties and tax demands; potential criminal prosecution under the Black Money Act; loss of tax treaty benefits and increased scrutiny under CRS/FATCA. ### How Seva helps - Residential status review — determine tax residency accurately. - Foreign asset assessment — identify and evaluate all overseas holdings. - Compliance advisory — strategise disclosure and tax impact. - Filing support — prepare and file returns or declarations professionally. --- ## About — https://www.sevallp.in/about Seva Enterprise LLP is a 30+ person team of CPAs, CAs, and compliance professionals based in Ajmer, Rajasthan.

Shortly after filing, the client realized the account details belonged to an account that had been closed in the prior year, so the scheduled payments could not process as intended. Instead of waiting for rejection notices, the team reviewed each state's post-filing payment procedures. ### Our Approach Seva analyzed each relevant state's rules to determine whether payment instructions could still be updated, cancelled, or replaced before the debit date. Where possible, the client was guided to submit revised payment instructions or make replacement payments directly through the applicable state portals. For states with fewer post-filing options, the team identified the most practical next steps to reduce delays, missed payments, or penalties. ### Outcome The client gained clarity on what actions were required in each state and was able to respond proactively, reducing the risk of payment failures, notices, and avoidable compliance problems. ### Disclaimer This case study is shared for informational purposes only.

The vehicle loan and all related expenses were recorded in the business, but the vehicle was used for both business and personal purposes. Based on the client's records, about 55% of usage was business-related and 45% was personal. The question was how to handle the personal-use portion correctly rather than treating all vehicle expenses as fully deductible business costs. ### Our Approach Seva advised the client to continue recording 100% of vehicle-related expenses in the business books because the business paid those costs. The team then calculated the portion attributable to personal use based on actual usage. Because no payroll had been processed during the tax year, the personal-use benefit could not be reported through payroll for that year. Instead, Seva recommended issuing the appropriate information return to the owner and then including the personal-use benefit through payroll in future years. ### Outcome The client received a clear reporting path for the current year and a more compliant payroll treatment for future years, reducing the risk of inconsistent tax reporting. ### Disclaimer This case study is shared for informational purposes only. Certain facts have been modified or omitted to protect client confidentiality. The right reporting approach depends on the client's facts and applicable tax rules. --- ## Knowledge Center Article — Navigating the Conversion of an LLC to a Corporation URL: https://www.sevallp.in/knowledge-center/navigating-the-conversion-of-an-llc-to-a-corporation Category: Business Structuring Published: August 7, 2026 Tags: Entity conversion, LLC, Corporation, EIN, Multi-state ### Summary A case study on evaluating legal and federal tax implications when a foreign-owned LLC considers converting into a Corporation across multiple U.S. states. ### The Case Seva handled a matter involving the conversion of a Limited Liability Company into a Corporation. The case was more complex than a typical conversion because all LLC members were foreign owners, and the entity was registered in multiple states. That meant the conversion required both state-law analysis and federal tax planning. ### Our Approach The team identified the need for coordination with a U.S. attorney to prepare legal conversion documents in the relevant states. At the same time, Seva reviewed the federal tax implications, including how the entity's returns should be filed for the year of conversion and whether the existing EIN could be retained or whether a new EIN would be needed. The goal was to assess the legal and tax consequences together before the restructuring moved forward. ### Key Considerations - State-specific legal conversion rules and required filings. - Federal tax return treatment for the pre-conversion and post-conversion periods. - EIN retention or replacement depending on the nature of the legal and tax classification change. - Coordination between legal execution and tax compliance timing. ### Disclaimer This case study is shared for informational purposes only. Certain facts have been modified or omitted to protect client confidentiality. Every restructuring should be reviewed based on its own facts and the applicable legal and tax rules. --- ## Disclaimer Information on sevallp.in is provided for general purposes only and does not constitute professional tax, legal, or financial advice.
