About TraCarta

We exist for one job: getting back what's yours.

TraCarta is a tax recovery and assurance firm. Since 2018, we have helped India's companies recover tax they had already paid, combining technology we built ourselves with specialists who answer for every rupee.

Why we exist

Indian companies pay more tax than they owe, and much of the difference never comes back. The money legally belongs to them. But nobody owns the job of getting it back.

Finance teams are stretched by filing deadlines. Software flags problems but doesn't fix them. And firms built for compliance aren't built for recovery.

We started in 2018 with one of the hardest corners of Indian GST: airline credit spread across dozens of portals and thousands of invoices. We built our own technology to handle it, and learned what recovery really takes. Today we apply that to GST refunds and TDS as well, and we measure ourselves on one number: money returned.

The recovery gap

The difference between the tax a company pays and the tax it actually owes. It sits in three places, and each needs a different kind of work to bring back.

Our story

From one unclaimed ticket to three practices.

01/ 06

Founded in Gurugram

Founded in Gurugram

2018

A problem nobody owned

Companies were paying GST on every air ticket, and much of that credit never reached their returns. Airlines, travel agents and finance teams each assumed someone else had it. TraCarta was started in Gurugram to own that problem.

Our own technology

Chapter 02

Going to the source

Agency reports were incomplete, so we stopped relying on them. We built our own systems to collect invoices directly from airline portals, ticket by ticket, for every GSTIN a client holds.

Invoice-level matching

Chapter 03

From samples to every ticket

Matching at invoice level meant we could check every single ticket against the returns, not a sample. Tens of thousands of tickets per client became routine work.

A monthly rhythm

Chapter 04

Monthly, not yearly

A year-end clean-up finds problems too late to fix. We moved clients to a monthly rhythm: one statement, one named specialist, one call, and credit recovered while it can still be claimed.

120+ clients

Chapter 05

120+ corporate clients

Mid-market companies and large groups across technology, pharma, infrastructure, financial services, manufacturing and more now trust us with the money they are owed.

AI-led tax recovery

Three practices. One measure.

Airline ITC Recovery, GST Refund Recovery and TDS Recovery. AI does the volume, specialists do the judgment, and every engagement is measured the same way: money returned.

Where we sit

Most help available to finance teams either finds problems or files returns. Very little of it is built to bring money back.

We sit where deep technology meets accountability for results, and we serve companies too large for basic software and too focused for the largest firms.

Who we serve

Mid-market and large Indian corporates with material travel spend, export operations or high vendor volumes.

Too small for us

Basic software is enough

A handful of tickets and simple refunds. Off-the-shelf tools usually do the job.

Where we fit best

Complex enough to leak, large enough to matter

Multiple GSTINs, thousands of invoices, regular refunds and hundreds of customers or vendors.

  • Material corporate travel spend
  • Export or inverted-duty operations
  • High volumes of TDS on receipts or payments
  • Finance teams stretched by compliance deadlines
Different need

Broad transformation

Firm-wide tax strategy and restructuring belong with the largest advisory firms. Recovery is all we do.
