  • Keep PDF copies in a safe location (cloud storage, external drive)
  • Ensure you can access these records for GST audits or inquiries
  • Consider consulting a Chartered Accountant (CA) before deleting tax records

We are NOT responsible for any penalties or legal issues arising from missing tax records after account deletion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does account deletion take?

A: In-app deletion is immediate. Email requests are processed within 30 days. Local data is deleted immediately; cloud data (authentication) is deleted within 30 days.

Q: Can I recover my data after deletion?

A: No. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. We cannot recover your data.

Q: What if I have unpaid invoices?

A: Export copies before deletion. Your customers may still have the invoices you sent them. Consider collecting payments before deleting your account.

Q: Will deleting my account delete invoices I already sent to customers?

A: No. Customers who received invoices via email or other methods will still have their copies. You're only deleting your local copy.

Q: Do I need to delete my account before uninstalling the app?

A: No, but it's recommended if you used Google Sign-In. Uninstalling deletes local data; account deletion also removes cloud authentication data.

Q: Is my GSTIN or PAN shared before deletion?

A: No. Your GSTIN, PAN, and business data were stored locally only and were never uploaded to our servers.

Q: What if I'm under investigation or audit?

A: Do NOT delete your account or data if you're under tax investigation or audit. Consult with your Chartered Accountant (CA) or legal advisor first.
