Hello - happy to help.

KasyHQ builds the ReturnPilot suite, a pair of privacy-first browser extensions that speed up Indian tax compliance for CA firms and tax practitioners. Key points:

• Purpose: Automates bulk downloading and export of official documents that are already visible on government portals, so preparatory work that used to take hours finishes in minutes.
• Products:
  • ReturnPilot - GST Assistant: Runs inside gst.gov.in to download filed GST returns (GSTR-3B, GSTR-1, GSTR-1A, GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B, IMS, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C) as JSON, PDF, or consolidated Excel (29-sheet) exports. Supports one-click and bulk operations across periods and clients.
  • ReturnPilot - TDS Challan Downloader: (Early access) Runs on the Income Tax e-filing portal to bulk-download paid TDS challans (Challan 281 and ITNS variants), produce client-wise folders, and export PDFs or Excel registers.
• Privacy and security: Designed to be local-first. All file capture, PDF compiling, and Excel conversion happen in the browser (in-memory). Saved portal credentials are optionally encrypted and stored only in local browser storage. Only minimal account metadata (Google sign-in email, plan, payment IDs) is stored in the cloud to manage subscriptions.
• Captcha & automation limits: The extensions offer an AI captcha auto-fill feature routed through an inference gateway, subject to daily fair-usage quotas (trial: up to 50 automated solves/day, Premium: up to 100/day) to prevent scraping abuse.
• Plans & licensing: Free and paid Premium plans are available (Monthly, 3-Month Pass, Yearly). Premium status is tied to Google Sign-In, subscriptions do not auto-renew, and payments are processed via Razorpay in INR.
• Intended users and benefits: Built for CA firms and tax professionals handling many clients. Promises time savings during filing cycles, audit-ready exports, and a sandboxed architecture so the developer never sees taxpayer credentials or return data.
• Where to get it and support: The GST Assistant is on the Chrome Web Store (ReturnPilot - GST Return). For pricing, support, or privacy and terms details, the KasyHQ website has dedicated pages and contact email for questions.

If you want, we can:

• Walk through how to install and run the GST Assistant on gst.gov.in.
• Show the exact files and formats produced for a sample return type.
• Explain pricing tiers and the trial limits in more detail.

Which would you like next?

The answer is highly relevant and specific, providing detailed descriptions of the product features, privacy measures, pricing plans, and intended users, along with relevant sources; however, it slightly over-delivers with optional next steps rather than focusing solely on the overview.

Sure - happy to help.

Who this service is for

• Chartered Accountants, tax consultants, and tax practitioners working with multiple clients.
• CA firms and accounting teams that handle high-volume GST filing and audits.
• CFOs, finance teams, and business owners who need quick access to filed GST returns and purchase/sales registers.

What problem it solves

• Eliminates manual copy-paste, screenshots, and repeated portal navigation when collecting filed GST returns from the official GST portal.
• Automates one-click and bulk downloads of filed returns (GSTR-3B, GSTR-1, GSTR-1A, GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B, IMS, GSTR-9, GSTR-9C) as JSON, PDF, or Excel, saving hours during filing cycles.
• Produces audit-ready consolidated Excel registers (combined sales and combined purchase) that aggregate 12 months into single workbooks for reconciliation, GSTR-9/9C, and 3B work.
• Improves workflow reliability by syncing portal sessions, recognizing filing frequency (monthly or QRMP), and organizing downloads into client and financial year folders automatically.
• Keeps sensitive data private by processing all conversions locally in the browser and not uploading taxpayer data or saved credentials to the company servers (per the privacy design).

If you want, we can walk through specific use cases for your firm or explain which return formats (JSON, PDF, Excel) are best for reconciliation, audits, or archiving.

The answer directly and specifically addresses who the service is for and the problems it solves with detailed features and benefits, but it could improve by briefly summarizing key points for easier scanning and by explicitly linking each problem to the corresponding user group.

Hello - happy to help.

Main benefits of using ReturnPilot (GST Assistant and TDS Challan Downloader):

• Saves large amounts of time during filing cycles: bulk and one-click downloads compress tasks that used to take hours or days into minutes; members report as much as a 70% reduction in prep time.
• Works inside the official portals you already use: overlays gst.gov.in and the income-tax e-filing portal so there is no new dashboard to learn.
• Multiple output formats and consolidated reports: exports as JSON, PDF and Excel, including multi-period consolidated Excel workbooks and 29-sheet GSTR-2B exports for deep reconciliation.
• Built for CA firms: unlimited clients, client-wise folders, batch operations, auto-naming and audit-ready file structures to fit firm workflows.
• Privacy-first, local processing: all conversion and file compilation happens 100% in the browser; credentials and return data are kept on the user’s machine and are not uploaded to KasyHQ servers.
• Automated convenience (Premium): auto-login, AI captcha auto-fill, multi-period bulk exports, and cloud sync across workstations for teams (features depend on plan).
• Early/quality support and maintenance: regular portal updates are pushed before deadlines so the tools stay current during statutory changes.
• Trusted and rated: 5.0 rating on the Chrome Web Store with 1,000+ active tax professionals.

If you want, specify whether you are a sole practitioner or a firm and whether you need GST, TDS, or both, and the next step (install, pricing, or feature details) will be suggested.

The answer directly and comprehensively lists specific, concrete benefits with quantifiable details and features, citing relevant sources, though it could improve slightly by including explicit pricing or installation steps.

• For early supporters, there is a verification flow to claim a complimentary 1-year Premium license, using a verification form and transaction evidence.

If any step needs more detail, or you want guidance on which plan fits your practice, tell me:

• how many team members will use the tool, and
• whether you need bulk PDF/Excel exports or AI captcha auto-fill.

The answer directly and thoroughly addressed the step-by-step process with detailed, specific features, pricing, and user flow, but it could improve by citing multiple sources or including a direct link to a user guide for completeness.
