Tips

GST & Litigation linkage

  • Always enter GSTIN for registered clients so GST and litigation modules can pick the same master.
  • Wrong GSTIN can cause mismatches in returns and notices.

Use Description smartly

  • Mention work type (GST, Income Tax, Audit, Litigation) and any important note.
  • This helps you and your team when assigning tasks or filtering clients.

Convert to full client later

  • From the CRM list, open the client and complete full details whenever you are free.
  • Quick Client ensures you never lose a lead while still keeping the process simple.
