Subscription Plans

1. What are the different subscription options available on TaxTMI?

TaxTMI offers the following subscription plans to suit different user needs:

  • Limited Logins (Annual / Two-Year):
    • Annual – 1,500 logins over 365 days
    • Two-Year – 3,000 logins over 730 days
  • Unlimited Logins (Annual / Two-Year):
    • Annual – Unlimited logins for 365 days
    • Two-Year – Unlimited logins for 730 days
  • Monthly / Short-Term Logins:
    150 logins over 30 days, ideal for short-term users. Concurrent logins are allowed.

  • Email Alerts Only:
    Receive daily and weekly newsletters with updates on case laws, notifications, circulars, and legal news. No access to the main website content.

2. Limited Plans or Unlimited Plans! Why This Matters?

If you work in a team or need access from multiple devices at once, our Limited Login Plans are the best fit.

For heavy but individual usage, choose our Unlimited Plan for uninterrupted access from one device at one time.

3. What content do I get access to with a paid subscription?

Access includes statutory provisions, notifications, circulars, effective notifications, tariff classifications, rates of duty, case laws, articles, forum updates, and legal news — all updated regularly.

4. Can I access the portal from any location?

Yes, TaxTMI subscriptions allow access from anywhere, anytime.

5. What does "1500 logins in a year" mean in the Limited Login plan?

You are allowed up to 1500 login sessions within 365 days. Each login counts regardless of whether it's from the same or different device.

6. Is there a daily login limit?

No daily cap is imposed. However, for smooth usage, an average of around 5 logins per working day is considered optimal over a one-year span.

7. Can I log in from multiple devices at once under the Limited Login plan?

Yes, simultaneous logins are allowed under the Limited Login plan.

8. Does the Unlimited Login plan truly allow unlimited access?

Yes, you can log in unlimited times during the subscription period, but only from one device or browser at a time. Concurrent logins are not allowed.

Note: Any misuse or sharing of login credentials with others may result in suspension or termination of your account.

9. Why can't I log in on another device even though my Unlimited Login plan is active?

The plan permits only one active session at a time. You must log out or wait for the previous session to timeout before logging in again.

10. What is the timeout policy if I close my browser without logging out?

The session remains active for 20 minutes (Unlimited plan) or 30 minutes (Limited plan) after browser closure.

11. What is the timeout policy for sessions in this plan?

If the user does not navigate to another page after login, the session stays active for 30 minutes. Closing the browser will still count a new login if reaccessed.

12. How soon will my subscription be activated?

Online paymentsvia the payment gateway result in immediate activation upon successful completion.

However, for offline payment modes such as IMPS, NEFT, RTGS, Cheque, Demand Draft, or others, the subscription will be activated manually once the payment is confirmed.

13. What is the duration of my subscription, and when does it expire?
  • Annual plans expire after 365 days or upon reaching 1,500 logins, whichever comes first.
  • For two-year plans, both limits are doubled—i.e., the plan expires after 730 days or 3,000 logins, whichever comes first.
  • Monthly plans expire after 30 days or 150 logins, whichever comes first.
  • Unlimited Login plan: Expires strictly based on duration—i.e., after 365 days (for annual) or 730 days (for two-year plans), regardless of the number of logins.
14. Can my team members use the same subscription?

Yes, the Limited Login package allows simultaneous logins from multiple users, ideal for teams and firms.

However, sharing of login credentials with unauthorized individuals is strictly prohibited. Any misuse may lead to account suspension.

15. What happens if I exceed the 1500 login limit before the year ends?

Under the Limited Login plan, once you reach the maximum login limit—1,500 logins for a one-year plan or 3,000 logins for a two-year plan—your subscription will be considered expired, even if the remaining duration has not lapsed.

To continue accessing the services, you will need to renew your subscription, regardless of the remaining days.

16. Can I switch from the Limited (1500 logins) plan to the Unlimited plan or vice versa?

No, switching between Limited and Unlimited plans is not permitted once a subscription has been activated. Please select your plan carefully based on your expected usage pattern and login preferences.

17. Are there any changes in policy between the one-year and two-year plans?

No. All terms, usage conditions, access policies, timeout settings, and upgrade rules remain the same as applicable to one-year Limited or Unlimited plans — only the duration and login count are doubled

18. What is included in the Email Alerts Only subscription?

You will receive daily and weekly curated updates covering key case laws, notifications, circulars, articles, and legal news. While the newsletter includes highlights of important case laws, to view the full headnotes and detailed summaries, you must visit the website. Access to full content may require a regular subscription.

 ⚠️For details, please explore newsletters FAQ.

19. Can I access case laws and documents with Email Alerts Only?

Only highlights are included. Full headnotes and documents require a paid content-access subscription.

Upgrade & Renewal

1. What happens when my subscription expires?

Access is paused. Renewal must be done manually to resume services.

2. If I renew after expiry, from when is my access counted?

If the renewal is done after the expiry of your previous plan, it will be effective from the date of renewal / reactivation.

3. If I renew before expiry, will I lose remaining validity?

No, the new plan will be added to a waiting list and will become effective only after the expiry of your existing subscription. Your current plan will continue uninterrupted until its original expiry date.

4. What is the difference between a renewal and an upgrade?

A renewal extends your subscription for the next period. If the renewal is done before the expiry of your existing plan, the new plan will be queued and will become effective only after the current plan expires.

An upgrade, however, provides access to features, areas, or plans not covered under your current subscription by paying the differential amount. The original expiry date and login balance remain unchanged, while upgraded features become immediately accessible.

5. Can I upgrade my subscription package?

Yes, you can upgrade at any time by paying the difference between the current and new package prices. The system automatically calculates the discount based on the time elapsed since your original subscription. However, no discount is available during the first 90 days from the date of activation.

6. Is the upgrade process automatic?

Yes, you can initiate the upgrade by selecting the desired package and making the differential payment. The upgrade is applied after successful payment and system validation.

7. Will my subscription validity or login balance change after upgrade?

No. Your original expiry date and remaining login balance (in case of 1500 login packages) will remain unchanged after the upgrade.

8. Can I upgrade from a short-term (monthly) plan to an annual plan?

Yes, a short-term (monthly) plan can be upgraded only to the All-in-One Package - available for either 1 year or 2 years.

However, it cannot be upgraded or downgraded to any individual plan or other combo plan

9. Can I downgrade my subscription package?

No, downgrades are not allowed once a subscription package has been activated. Please choose your plan carefully based on your usage needs.

Tax Invoice & GST No.

1. Can I generate a Tax Invoice for my subscription on TaxTMI.com?

Yes. All registered subscribers can generate and download a Tax Invoice directly from their profile page after completing the subscription process.

2. How do I generate my Tax Invoice on TaxTMI.com?

Follow these steps:

Step 1: Go to your My Profile page and edit/update your details, including GSTIN (if applicable).

Step 2: Under Orders & Subscriptions, if the invoice is pending, click “Click here to Finalize the Details”. Review and confirm.

Step 3: Once finalized, the Tax Invoice number will be visible. Click it to view, download as PDF, or print the invoice.

3. Can I modify the invoice after it's generated?

No. Once a Tax Invoice is finalized, it cannot be edited or reissued. Please ensure all details, especially GSTIN, are correct before finalizing.

4. Where should I enter my GST Registration Number?

You must update your GSTIN in your profile under the “My Profile” section either before subscribing or immediately after payment — without any delay.

5. Who is responsible for ensuring the GST details are correctly entered?

It is entirely the subscriber’s responsibility to enter the correct GST Registration Number (GSTIN) timely. TaxTMI will not be liable for any discrepancies, omissions, or rejections due to incorrect or missing GST details.

6. What happens if I fail to enter my GSTIN before generating the invoice?

If the invoice is finalized without a valid GSTIN, it will be treated as a non-GST invoice, and no revised invoice will be issued. You are advised to double-check and update your profile before finalization.

7. Where can I find my invoice after finalization?

Go to the “Orders & Subscriptions” section on your Profile Page, and click the Tax Invoice Number link to view or download your finalized invoice.

8. Can I request a hard copy or email of my Tax Invoice?

No need — you can download or print your invoice directly from your profile. Hard copies or manual emails are not sent separately.

9. What if I subscribed but forgot to enter my GSTIN — can I still claim GST?

If the invoice has not yet been finalized, you may still update your GSTIN and then finalize. However, if the invoice is already finalized, no retrospective claim or revised invoice will be entertained.

10. What happens if I fail to generate the invoice myself?

If you do not finalize and generate the invoice manually, the system will automatically finalize and generate the Tax Invoice based on the available details in your profile.
⚠️ Important: Once the Tax Invoice is finalized and generated—whether manually or automatically—it cannot be modified under any circumstances. Please ensure your GSTIN and profile details are updated promptly to avoid errors.

11. What if I face an issue while generating or accessing my invoice?

Please reach out to our support team with relevant details such as User ID and / or registered email. Assistance will be provided for unresolved technical issues only.

Payments & Refund

1. How can I make a payment for a TaxTMI subscription?

You can make payment using either of the following methods:

  • Online Payment via our secure payment gateway using credit card, debit card, net banking, UPI, etc.
  • Offline Payment via Demand Draft (DD), Cheque, NEFT, IMPS, or direct bank deposit.

These options are available during checkout under the Offline Payment option.

2. Where can I deposit a DD or cheque?

You may directly deposit the DD or cheque into any branch of our bank near you. Bank account details will be provided during the checkout process.

Alternatively, you can send the DD or cheque to the address mentioned in the payment instructions provided on the website.

3. What should I do after making an offline payment (DD/Cheque/NEFT/IMPS/UPI)?

Please send us the transaction or deposit details (such as UTR number or scan of cheque/DD) for cross-verification. Your subscription will be activated after successful confirmation.

4. Is my card or bank information stored when I pay online?

No. We do not store any card or banking details on our website or servers. All payments are processed through a secure third-party gateway.

5. Is there a refund policy for subscription payments?

No. All payments made toward subscriptions are non-refundable. However, in the rare case where an online transaction is delayed and another payment is made, the earlier payment can be either adjusted against future renewal or refunded upon your request.

6. What if my online payment is stuck or fails?

If your payment fails or is stuck, but later gets honoured, and you have already made another successful payment, we will either adjust the excess amount against your next renewal or refund it — as per your preference.

7. Is TDS deduction required while making payment?

If your total annual payment is less than ₹50,000, TDS deduction is not required.

However, if TDS is deducted, you must provide Form 16A within the prescribed time (quarterly). Failure to submit the TDS certificate may result in temporary suspension of your account until compliance is met.

8. Where can I send my payment or TDS certificate details?

You can send payment confirmations or Form 16A via email to our support team (contact information is provided on the website). Ensure timely submission to avoid any service disruptions.

9. Can I cancel my subscription after activation?

No, once a subscription is activated, it cannot be cancelled and the amount is non-refundable. Please review all terms before confirming your purchase.

10. What if I accidentally choose the wrong subscription package?

You may request an upgrade by paying the differential amount. However, downgrades or refunds are not allowed after activation.

11. What happens if the amount paid is less or more than the actual subscription fee?

If the amount paid is less due to an inadvertent calculation error by the system or any other unknown reason, the subscriber is required to pay the balance amount. Failure to do so may result in temporary suspension of services or proportional adjustment in subscription validity or features.

Conversely, if an excess amount is paid, the extra amount will be adjusted proportionately against the subscription or carried forward to future renewal, as appropriate.

12. What if I was eligible for a discount code but failed to apply it during payment?

If you were eligible for a discount code but did not apply it during the subscription process, the benefit shall be considered lapsed. Discounts must be applied at the time of payment; they cannot be claimed retrospectively or adjusted later under any circumstances.

Security & Fair Use

1. Can I share my login credentials?

No. Sharing login details is against the policy and may result in account suspension.

2. How can I secure my account?

Regularly change your password and avoid sharing credentials with unauthorized users.

3. Is there a limit on the number of pages I can view per login?

No, there is no restriction on the number of pages you can access during any login session. However, the system automatically monitors high usage patterns and may prompt for human verification (e.g., CAPTCHA) more frequently to ensure fair and secure usage.

Referral Program

1. What is the TaxTMI Referral Program?

The Referral Program allows you to earn rewards by inviting new users to subscribe to TaxTMI. Both you and the referred user get benefits when a successful new subscription is made using your referral code.

You and the referred user both benefit — it’s a win-win!

2. How much do I earn for each referral?

You earn flat 4% of the subtotal value (excluding taxes) of each successful subscription made using your referral code. The referred user also receives 4% reward value as discount on their subtotal.

3. How do I get started?
  • Generate your unique referral code from your account dashboard.
  • Share the code with your friends, colleagues, or network.
  • Earn 4% in points every time someone subscribes using your code. There's no maximum limit on how much you can earn!
4. What is the value of referral points?

1 referral point = ₹1. Your rewards are credited to your referral wallet in the form of points. Unless you meet the eligibility criteria to monetize, the points will remain non-redeemable and can only be viewed in your wallet.

5. Are there any conditions for my referral code to work?

Yes.

  • You must have an active paid subscription at the time the referred user applies your code.
  • If your subscription has expired, the code will be invalid until you renew.
6. What is the eligible points threshold in the referral program?

The eligible points threshold is the minimum number of referral points required to unlock cash redemption benefits. Currently, you must accumulate 5,000 points from at least 5 unique referrals

7. What happens upon reaching the eligible points threshold in the referral program?

Once you accumulate a minimum of 5,000 referral points from at least 5 unique referrals, the points will first be applied toward renewing your subscription via a special discount code. If your remaining balance exceeds 5,000 points after renewal, you become eligible to request a cash redemption of the excess points. Payouts are processed in the last week of each quarter through your preferred payment method (bank transfer, UPI, etc.).

8. Can I use my points to purchase or renew subscriptions?

Yes, referral points can be redeemed for subscription renewals. Upon reaching the eligible points threshold, you will receive a special discount code that can be applied at the time of renewal.

9. Can I withdraw the earned referral points?

Yes. Once your referral points are used for renewing your subscription, any remaining balance (above 5000 points) becomes eligible for cash redemption. Payouts are processed in the last week of each quarter.

10. Is there any validity period for referral points?

Points remain valid as long as your account remains active. However, unused or unclaimed points for over 24 months may lapse.

11. Can I share my referral code publicly (social media, forums, etc.)?

No. Misuse or spamming of referral codes may lead to revocation of referral privileges. We recommend sharing with genuinely interested users.

12. How do I track my referrals and rewards?

You can view real-time details of your referral history, points earned, and redemption status in the Referral Dashboard under your account.

13. What happens if a user cancels or refunds their subscription?

Referral points will be revoked if a referred payment is reversed or refunded.

14. Can I refer myself or create multiple fake accounts to earn rewards?

No. Self-referrals or fraudulent referrals are strictly prohibited. Violations may result in account suspension and loss of earned points.

15. Can I refer someone who is already a TaxTMI subscriber or is renewing their subscription?

No. The referral program is only valid for new users who are subscribing to TaxTMI for the first time. It cannot be applied to renewals or to users who already have an active or expired subscription.

16. Can I refer an old TaxTMI subscriber whose subscription expired more than three years ago and has not renewed since?

Yes. If a user's subscription expired over three years ago and they have not renewed since, they will be treated as a new referral under the program. Your referral code will be valid, and both you and the referred user will receive the applicable referral benefits.

17. Are referral points applicable for Corporate user packages or Special multi-login packages?

No. Referral points are not available for corporate subscriptions or special multi-login packages that are custom-designed or offered under negotiated terms. The referral program applies only to standard individual subscription plans.

18. Who is not eligible to avail the benefits of the referral program?

The followings are not eligible to participate in or benefit from the referral program:

  1. Employees, staff members, and their immediate family or relatives associated with our organization.
  2. Self-referrals, i.e., users referring themselves using multiple accounts.
