Explanation

The IFSCA framework for Book-keeping, Accounting, Taxation and Financial Crime Compliance Services requires an entity offering such services from an IFSC to be authorised or registered by IFSCA. Options claiming IFSCA has no role ignore this, and municipal or tax department registration alone does not substitute for it.
