Five compliance regimes were rewritten. Your clients are about to ask you about all of them.
A new Income-tax Act. Four Labour Codes. The DPDP Act. A cross-border reporting framework that changed again in 2026. And the volume that defends your position when any of it is challenged. Five volumes, 320 pages, one download.
Nothing about this is optional, and it all landed at once.
A statute from 1961 was replaced. Twenty-nine labour Acts became four Codes. A data-protection regime arrived that had no Indian equivalent before it. The cross-border reporting rules changed again. Any one of these would be a busy year. They arrived inside eighteen months, on the same desk, from the same clients, and every one of them creates work that has to be scoped, priced, and delivered by somebody. The practitioners who are fluent in all five will spend the next few years being called first. The ones who are fluent in none of them will be quoted against on price.
Re-map it. Re-comply it. Protect it. Report it. Defend it.
Four volumes for the four regimes your clients now have to satisfy, and a fifth for the day one of those positions is challenged. Each is a complete book in its own right, with its own checklists, matrices, and fee templates.
The New Income-Tax Act, 2025 Handbook
The Income-tax Act, 2025 replaced a statute that had stood since 1961. The tax did not change, the map did. Nobody has to re-learn tax, everybody has to re-learn where it lives, and run two Acts side by side through the transition year.
- Re-cite every reference on the file: 819 sections down to 536, almost all renumbered
- Re-base a funded company's TDS stack into Secs. 392 to 394, codes 1001 to 1067
- Run the ESOP, capital-gains, and VDA positions correctly under the new numbering
The Labour Codes Handbook
On 21 November 2025 four Labour Codes replaced 29 central Acts, and the new definition of wages requires basic pay to be at least 50% of total remuneration. Almost every Indian employer must restructure its CTC, and the compliance that follows recurs every month.
- Scope and deliver the CTC restructuring: ₹40,000 to 2,50,000 a project
- Model the PF and gratuity impact of the 50% basic-wage floor to the rupee
- Hold it on a managed compliance retainer: ₹10,000 to 75,000 a month
The Data Protection Compliance Handbook
The DPDP Act and the Rules under it create an entirely new compliance function inside every business that handles personal data, with penalties running to ₹250 crore and an enforcement date that is already on the calendar. This is a practice line that did not exist three years ago.
- Run the readiness and gap assessment: ₹75,000 to 5,00,000 a client
- Sit as the outsourced Data Protection Officer: ₹40,000 to 2,50,000 a month
- Hold the breach-response and ongoing compliance retainers alongside it
The Cross-Border Capital & FEMA Handbook
Filing with the MCA does not satisfy FEMA. Two regulators, two portals, two deadlines, and no traffic between them. Every funded client already has a cross-border file, and the penalty for getting it wrong runs to three times the amount involved and reaches the directors personally.
- Classify convertible notes, SAFEs, and the instruments that arrive from abroad
- Keep the perpetual annual returns alive, dormant overseas entities included
- Price it against the ICAI scale: ₹35,000 a Reserve Bank filing in a Class A city
The Tax Dispute & Litigation Handbook
Everything in the four volumes above is a position you have taken on a client's behalf. This is the volume for when the department challenges one: notices, faceless assessments, penalties, and winning appeals across income tax and GST. The highest-fee, highest-fear work, made winnable.
- Win it at the first faceless reply: ₹25,000 to 1,50,000 a matter
- Take it through the CIT(A) and the ITAT: ₹40,000 to 3,00,000 an appeal
- Add premium, recurring dispute revenue that no software commoditises
The practice this set builds
The difference between watching the reset go past and billing for it.
Caught out by the reset
- A client asks how the 2025 Act renumbers their position and you go looking
- The labour restructuring, the DPDP work, and the FEMA filings all go elsewhere
- You find out a cross-border default exists when the diligence team does
- A notice arrives and the matter goes straight to counsel
- You bill compliance rates while the reset that created the work pays someone else
Fluent in all five
- You answer from the map, in the meeting, with the citation
- You scope, price, and deliver all four compliance lines in-house
- You audit the cross-border file before anyone else has to ask for it
- You meet the notice with calm competence and win it at the first reply
- You bill for the reset instead of watching it walk past you

Written by the team that has done the work
Finjour has incorporated and advised Indian startups since 2015, running the payrolls, taking in the foreign cheques, signing the certificates, and standing with founders when the department challenged what was advised, valued, or filed. Every volume is grounded in the statute as it currently stands and tested on real engagements, not borrowed from a textbook or generated by AI.
Trusted by practitioners across India
“Four of these landed on my desk as client questions in the same quarter. Having all five in one place has been worth far more than the price.”
“The labour and data protection volumes alone justified it. I have quoted work off the back of both.”
“Good set, and current, which matters more than usual right now. I would still like a physical copy option, but the PDFs are well made.”
Questions, answered
How are the five books delivered?
Instantly. The moment your payment clears, a download button appears right on the confirmation page, and we also email you a secure link to all five volumes as one file. No waiting, no shipping.
Why these five together?
Because every one of them is a compliance regime that was rewritten or newly created inside the last eighteen months, and they land on the same desk. The Income-tax Act, 2025 replaced a statute from 1961. Four Labour Codes replaced 29 Acts. The DPDP Act created a data-protection function that did not exist. The cross-border reporting framework changed again in 2026. And when any position taken under them is challenged, the dispute volume is how you defend it. One practitioner is expected to hold all five.
Do I need all five, or can I start with one?
Every volume is sold on its own and works on its own, so starting with one is perfectly reasonable. The set exists because most practitioners find that the questions arrive together: the same client that needs the CTC restructuring is the one that took foreign money and now has a DPDP obligation. Buying them separately costs a great deal more.
Is this cheaper than buying them separately?
Yes, by a wide margin. On their own the five volumes come to ₹11,995. The bundle is ₹4,999, so you keep ₹6,996, which is 58% off.
How current are they?
Each volume is written to the regime as it stands in 2026 and says so on the page, including the changes most guidance still online has not caught up with. Where something is still moving, the books say what is coming rather than pretending the position is settled.
