Stock / Inventory Audit

Physical verification and valuation of inventory.

Stock / Inventory Audit. Governed by Bank requirement. Must be signed by a CA in practice.

₹10,000

Professional's fee (indicative)

Physical verification and valuation of inventory.

Legally reserved: This work must be signed by a CA in practice. (Bank requirement)

Who can sign this?

This work is legally reserved. It must be performed and signed by a CA in practice. A professional outside that registration cannot sign it, and a report signed by the wrong professional does not satisfy the filing.

Which law governs this?

Bank requirement. Where a figure or requirement here differs from other published guidance, the statute governs — several thresholds in Indian startup compliance changed materially in 2025 and 2026.

How does Lekha handle this engagement?

Lekha coordinates and manages the engagement. The professional contracts directly with your company under their own engagement letter, sets their own fee within the published range, and is paid directly. Lekha charges a separate flat facilitation fee and takes no share of the professional's fee.

01

Select a professional

Browse Lekha's vetted panel and choose the professional you want to work with — we never assign one on your behalf.

02

Professional confirms fee

The professional reviews your requirement and confirms their fee directly with you. No surprises.

03

Engagement letter

A formal engagement letter is generated — a contract between you and the professional. Lekha is not a party to it.

04

Two separate invoices

The professional bills you for their work (₹10,000). Lekha bills a small facilitation fee separately. The two never mix.
