ASI/ASISSE Notice Return Filing Services in Bengaluru

Expert Consultants for IT Companies, LLPs & Industrial Establishments in Bengaluru — MoSPI / NSO Compliance

You're reading this because a notice arrived — and if your company is in Bengaluru, there's a specific reason why.

Bengaluru is India's technology capital. It has the highest density of IT companies, software service exporters, startups-turned-incorporated-entities, and ITES businesses of any city in the country. When NSO launched ASISSE in April 2026 and began drawing its national sample from the GSTN database, Karnataka GSTINs — and Bengaluru ones in particular — showed up heavily. If you received a notice from MoSPI (Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation) or NSO at your Bengaluru office, that's not a coincidence.

The notice is genuine. It carries the force of the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008, and non-compliance runs to Rupees 5,000 per day in penalties after a 14-day grace window. ASC Group helps companies and LLPs across Bengaluru handle exactly this.

Why Bengaluru Is Seeing a High Volume of ASISSE Notices

ASISSE covers incorporated entities in the services sector — IT, ITES, financial services, hospitality, education, healthcare, logistics, and professional services. Bengaluru's concentration of these businesses is unmatched anywhere in India.

On the manufacturing side, ASI covers factories under the Factories Act, 1948. Bengaluru and its periphery — Peenya, Bommasandra, Doddaballapur, Hosur Road — house significant manufacturing clusters in aerospace, defence components, garments, and engineering goods. If your factory received an ASI notice, it's because your establishment appeared in NSO's stratified sample for Karnataka.

ASI and ASISSE — A Quick Distinction

ASI (Annual Survey of Industries) has been NSO's primary manufacturing survey since 1959. Factories, electricity undertakings, and industrial units registered under central or state laws submit detailed production, employment, and financial data.

ASISSE (Annual Survey of Incorporated Services Sector Enterprises) is entirely new — it launched in April 2026. It covers Private Limited Companies, Public Limited Companies, LLPs, and PSUs in services. For Bengaluru, this means most mid-to-large IT companies, product firms, ITES companies, and professional services LLPs that have a Karnataka GSTIN are potentially in scope if they were sampled.

Both surveys operate under the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008 (amended 2017) and the Jan Vishwas Act, 2023.

One clarification that matters: your ASISSE filing has zero connection to GST or Income Tax scrutiny. The Act legally bars NSO from sharing your submitted data with the Income Tax Department, GST authorities, SEBI, or RBI for enforcement. The data feeds statistical models — GDP computation, sector-level GVA, employment estimates. That's the only use.

Penalty Structure

Paying the penalty doesn't close the obligation. The return still needs to be filed.

How We Handle the Filing for Bengaluru Clients

Notice Verification We start by confirming the notice is authentic, identifying which GSTIN(s) are selected, and mapping the exact filing requirement. For Bengaluru IT companies with GSTINs across multiple states, this is especially important — each selected GSTIN files independently.

Block-by-Block Data Preparation The questionnaire has several data blocks: enterprise identity and NIC classification (Block 1), fixed assets and capex (Block 3), working capital and borrowings (Block 4), employee headcount by gender (Block 5), intermediate consumption coded via CPC 3.0 (Blocks 6A & 6B), revenue and output data (Block 7A), and digital technology usage (Blocks 11 & 12 — particularly relevant for IT companies). Every entry gets traced to source financials.

Reconciliation GST returns, audited P&L, balance sheet, payroll register, and fixed asset schedule — all reconciled with each other before submission. For IT companies with revenue recognition under Ind AS 115 or deferred revenue positions, this step requires care.

Multi-GSTIN Apportionment Large Bengaluru-based IT and ITES companies often have employees, assets, and revenue spread across 10–20 states. We extract Karnataka GSTIN-specific data from consolidated books accurately — not a rough split, but properly apportioned figures.

Portal Filing and Post-Submission Support We manage the end-to-end submission through the MoSPI secure portal and handle any NSO follow-up queries.

Documents Required

• Audited Balance Sheet and P&L for FY 2024–25
• Trial balance

• Payroll register — headcount split by gender

• Working capital and loan statements

Why Bengaluru IT Companies Face Unique Challenges Here: Most large Bengaluru IT companies have a specific structural challenge with ASISSE — their primary business is software export, but their P&L and balance sheet are consolidated across entities and locations. The Karnataka GSTIN data has to be isolated from group accounts, and the revenue figures need to reconcile with both STPI/SEZ export data and domestic GST returns. We've worked through this for clients ranging from mid-size product companies to large listed IT services firms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ASISSE notice my Bengaluru entity received actually genuine? Yes. ASISSE was officially launched via PIB Press Release dated 6 April 2026 (Release ID: 2249336). Check the portal URL — it should be on the mospi.gov.in domain. The Field Office contact in your notice should also match NSO's published directory.

Our Bengaluru IT company has GSTINs in 12 states. Which ones do we file for? Only for the GSTINs that received a notice. If NSO selected your Karnataka GSTIN and two others, those three file independently. GSTIN data cannot be consolidated or merged across states.

We're a startup incorporated last year in Bengaluru. Could we still be in scope? Yes — if NSO's sample included your GSTIN and you received a notice, the filing obligation applies regardless of your company's age. The selection is GSTIN-based, not seniority-based.

Can ASC Group handle clients across Bengaluru — including Electronic City and Whitefield? Yes. We work with clients across all of Bengaluru and the broader Karnataka region.

Don't Let the Deadline Pass

Bengaluru companies — especially in IT and ITES — often have complex, multi-entity financial structures that make ASISSE data preparation more involved than it looks. The reconciliation takes time. So does multi-GSTIN apportionment when your books are consolidated.
