Welcome to

TraCarta India

Since 2018, we have helped India's companies recover tax they have already paid, in one of the hardest corners of Indian GST.

We work with mid-market and large corporates with material travel spend, export operations or high vendor volumes: too large for basic software, too focused for the largest firms. Our own technology collects and matches thousands of documents. Our specialists make the calls that need judgment. And we are measured on a single number: money returned.
