Lekhakar Launches End-to-End Accounting Outsourcing Services for Indian SMEs, Reporting 40% Rise in GST and Payroll Compliance Demand
Noida, India, March 24, 2026 — Lekhakar, a prominent accounting and financial compliance firm based in Noida, has officially launched its structured accounting outsourcing services. This comprehensive package integrates bookkeeping, GST and income tax compliance, payroll management, and financial advisory into a single engagement model. The initiative responds to a significant 40% year-on-year surge in enquiries from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking professional assistance to navigate India's evolving tax and compliance landscape.
Growing Demand in India's SME Sector
India's SME sector, which contributes over 30% of the country's GDP, is facing mounting pressure from increasingly complex GST filing cycles, mandatory payroll compliance, and growing audit requirements. Many small business owners lack the in-house expertise to maintain accurate financial records while simultaneously managing daily operations, creating a clear and expanding demand for professional outsourced solutions.
Founder's Insights on Compliance Challenges
"We’ve observed a sharp increase in SMEs approaching us specifically after missing GST deadlines or encountering payroll discrepancies," stated Mr Ankit, Founder of Lekhakar. "Our new services are designed to allow business owners to delegate their entire compliance calendar to us, enabling them to focus on running their companies. From monthly bookkeeping and payroll runs to year-end ITR filing, everything is managed by dedicated professionals under a single agreement."
Comprehensive Service Offerings
The Lekhakar Accounting Outsourcing Services encompass six core service areas:
- Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting: Monthly reconciliation, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
- GST Compliance: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, annual returns, and input tax credit reconciliation.
- Income Tax Filing: ITR preparation and filing for proprietorships, partnerships, and private limited companies.
- Payroll Management: Salary processing, PF/ESI compliance, TDS on salaries, and payslip generation.
- Accounts Payable & Receivable: Vendor invoice tracking, payment scheduling, and debtor follow-up.
- Financial Advisory: Cash flow planning, budgeting support, and MIS reporting for management decisions.
Timing and Market Context
The launch coincides with the government's continued push toward digital financial compliance, including stricter GST audit triggers, mandatory e-invoicing thresholds, and TDS reforms introduced in the Union Budget 2025-26. Lekhakar reports that 68% of new clients in the last 12 months sought services after facing a tax notice or compliance penalty, highlighting the significant costs associated with delayed action.

Currently, the firm serves over 120 businesses across India, with clients spanning retail, manufacturing, professional services, and e-commerce sectors.
