No Professional Advice
The calculators, tools, and content on freeindia-tools are provided on an "as-is" basis for educational and informational purposes only. They are not professional tax advice, financial planning advice, or legal advice.
We are not:
- Tax consultants or chartered accountants
- Financial advisors
- Legal professionals
- Licensed to provide professional services in any jurisdiction
Use at Your Own Risk
While we strive to ensure calculators are accurate, they may contain errors or be based on outdated information. You use freeindia-tools at your own risk. We are not responsible for:
- Errors in calculations or results
- Losses or damages resulting from your use of the tools
- Tax penalties, interest, or liabilities arising from decisions based on our calculators
- Any actions you take based on the information provided
- Changes in tax laws or regulations after tool creation
Tax & Compliance Responsibility
Your tax compliance is your responsibility. freeindia-tools is a helper tool, not a replacement for professional guidance. You must:
- Verify all calculations independently
- Consult a qualified CA or tax advisor before filing returns or making tax decisions
- Stay updated on current tax laws, rates, and regulations
- Maintain proper records for GST, income tax, and business compliance
Accuracy & Changes
We make reasonable efforts to keep calculators current and accurate. However:
- Tax rates, thresholds, and rules change frequently — we may not update tools immediately
- Calculations are based on standard scenarios and may not apply to your specific situation
- Special circumstances (losses, deductions, exemptions) require professional advice
- Regional variations in tax rules are not always accounted for
GST Compliance Note
The GST Calculator provides estimates only. It does not:
- Account for exemptions, special rates, or category-specific rules
- Handle ITC (Input Tax Credit) calculations
- Cover reverse charge or supply-specific variations
- Substitute for professional GST advice from a registered CA
Always cross-check with your CA or the GST official website (www.gst.gov.in) before filing returns.
Income Tax & Deductions
The Income Tax Calculator and Expense Tracker are basic estimators. They do not:
- Account for all eligible deductions (professional fees, insurance, rent, etc.)
- Consider HUF, partnership, or corporate structures
- Handle losses, carry-forwards, or prior-year adjustments
- Replace the need for professional tax planning
File returns with a qualified CA to ensure you claim all allowable deductions and minimize tax liability legally.

freeindia-tools and its creators are not liable for:
- Any direct, indirect, or incidental damages
- Loss of income, business opportunity, or profits
- Tax notices, penalties, or interest assessments
