About the Founder

Pratyush Saha

An advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa and a graduate of NUJS, Kolkata, Pratyush has over fourteen years of experience in high-stakes indirect tax disputes under GST, Customs, the Foreign Trade Policy, Service Tax, and State and Central Excise.

He has also advised on narcotics control, land disputes, Indian Standards, legal metrology and PMLA matters. Before founding PS Chambers, he was Counsel at Khaitan & Co, Mumbai, and earlier an Assistant Manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Mumbai.

He advises and represents leading Indian and multinational businesses, as well as individual directors, partners and proprietors, on trade-related disputes with tax and other authorities, from adjudication to the Supreme Court.

Notable litigation

  • Challenges to the Customs pre-import condition
  • GST Rule 96(10) refund disputes
  • Blocked credits under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act
  • Anti-profiteering disputes
  • GST intermediary services disputes
  • Bunching of GST notices

Early-stage strategy

Pratyush works with clients from the first stage of a matter: tax audits, inquiries and investigations by the DRI, DGGI, Anti-Evasion, the Enforcement Directorate and the Narcotics Control Bureau. Building the litigation strategy early often leads to a favourable outcome at adjudication itself.

He also advises on pre-emptive tax audits, GST and Customs classification and GSTAT litigation strategy, and guides clients through investigations, refunds, arrest, bail and criminal writ matters, before adjudicating authorities, Tribunals, Sessions Courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court.
