Disclaimer
Last updated: 26 October 2026
Notice to All Visitors: HeyArtha is an independent educational web platform providing mathematical modeling and reference guides. It is not a Chartered Accountancy practice, legal firm, or financial advisory firm.
1. Not Professional Advice & No CA Review
HeyArtha is created and maintained by Shivam Kushwaha, a Chartered Accountancy (CA) Intermediate student. Content, mathematical formulas, and calculation engines published on this website have not been reviewed by a practicing Chartered Accountant.
Nothing on this website constitutes tax advice, accounting advice, legal counsel, audit assurance, or financial planning. You should never base final tax payments, return filings, or commercial commitments solely on browser calculations.
2. Nature of Calculations & Scope Limits
Calculators on HeyArtha operate on deterministic client-side logic. Statutory tax tools derive from the text of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Income-tax Act, 2025, and annual Finance Acts. Non-statutory calculators (such as personal money, loans, salary, and investing tools) derive from standard financial mathematics and banking conventions.
The calculation engines simplify complex scenarios for exploratory analysis and deliberately exclude specialized areas such as corporate Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT), transfer pricing documentation, cross-border treaty relief (DTAA), and litigated assessments.
3. User Obligation to Consult Professionals
Tax legislation, government circulars, and judicial interpretations in India change frequently. Users must consult a qualified Chartered Accountant, tax advocate, or registered practitioner to verify their specific facts before computing tax liabilities or submitting filings to tax authorities.
4. No Affiliation with ICAI or Government Authorities
HeyArtha is an independent web utility. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the Income Tax Department of India, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), or the Ministry of Finance.
5. Limitation of Liability
All tools, articles, and data on HeyArtha are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. HeyArtha and its operator expressly disclaim liability for any tax interest, statutory penalties (including Sections 234A, 234B, 234C, or 270A), assessment orders, financial losses, or discrepancies resulting from reliance on platform outputs.
6. Inquiries & Questions
