Dr. Anand Krishnan is a freelance anesthetist who covers operating theatres at five hospitals across Kochi. His professional fees flow through five different hospital accounts departments, each with its own TDS deduction practices, its own Form 16A timeline, and its own definition of when a quarter ends.
Every quarter, Dr. Krishnan would block out a full Saturday to compile his TDS data — pulling deduction certificates from five hospitals, reconciling totals against his own visit register, and preparing his accountant's worksheet. With ConsultPro, all five hospitals push TDS data into one place, and the quarterly compilation has been reduced to clicking a single button — about 8 minutes including the cup of coffee.
The Form 16A retrieval used to involve emails, phone follow-ups, and at least two visits to hospital accounts offices. ConsultPro generates each hospital's Form 16A automatically the day after deduction, and they're downloadable from his consultant portal at any time.
