Is Claw a CA firm?
No. Claw is a technology platform that runs the service: pricing, matching, tracking and support. We find and verify an independent practising CA for your job, and they sign and file in their own name. Audits and other work that only a chartered accountant may sign are not sold or arranged through Claw.
Do I pay extra for you to find a CA?
Not for our services: finding and verifying the right CA is included in every fixed price. Audits and CA certificates are different, because the CA does and signs that work in their own name. For those, we search all practising CAs and shortlist the right ones for ₹499, and you agree the fee with the CA directly.
How do you fix the price before seeing my documents?
Each service has a defined scope, listed on its page. If your case is outside that scope, for example more than one house property or foreign income, you see the revised price before any work starts. You can say no.
Who can see my documents?
Only the professional assigned to your order and the Claw reviewer. Every CA we work with signs a data-processing agreement. You can download your files at any time, and ask us to delete them when your order is closed.
Does the new Income-tax Act, 2025 change my filing?
The new Act applies from 1 April 2026, so it covers income from tax year 2026-27 onwards. Returns for FY 2025-26, due in 2026, are still filed under the Income-tax Act, 1961. Your professional applies whichever law covers your year.
What if the deadline is missed?
If we miss the date agreed at checkout, your service fee is refunded, as long as your documents reached us by the date we asked. The full terms are on the refunds page.
Can I speak to my professional directly?
Yes. Once assigned, your professional is named on your order and you chat with them in your dashboard, separately for each order.
