ReconScribe is an independent finance, accounting and compliance resource built by a small group of friends who wanted practical tools to be easier to find and easier to trust. We create free browser-based calculators, downloadable working files and detailed guides for taxpayers, finance teams, accountants and small businesses in India.
Our goal is simple: explain what a rule means, show the official source, and give readers a useful next step. Some downloadable files require a free account so the correct resource can be delivered securely, but the calculators and articles can be read without payment.
Who is behind ReconScribe
ReconScribe combines practical finance experience with software engineering. The core contributors are:
- Rajeev Bhandari, MBA, who has more than 8 years of experience across accounting, finance and automation. Rajeev leads calculator design, finance workflows and day-to-day publishing.
- ACMA Bhawana Bhandari Gupta, MBA, who has more than 14 years of experience in accounting, costing, finance operations and compliance. Bhawana reviews selected accounting and compliance material.
- Ankit, a senior software engineer who contributes to technical architecture, automation and calculator reliability.
- Independent Chartered Accountant friends who review relevant tax or compliance content when specialist review is appropriate. A reviewer is not claimed on a page unless that review actually took place.
Full profiles, responsibilities and external professional links are available on the ReconScribe authors page.
What we publish
ReconScribe focuses on work that helps a reader complete or understand a real task:
- Income tax, TDS, GST, payroll and labour compliance calculators.
- Excel templates for recurring finance work such as accounts payable, prepaid expenses and reconciliations.
- Step-by-step guides for finance software, automation and AI-assisted workflows.
- Plain-language explanations of filing dates, rates, thresholds and official procedures.
We do not publish articles simply to cover a keyword. A page should answer a clear question, provide a working tool, add a useful example, or organize primary-source information in a way that saves the reader time.
How our calculators are built
A calculator begins with the applicable law, notification, department guidance or official portal. We map the rule into inputs, decision steps and formulas, then test expected results and common edge cases. Where a rule depends on a state, taxpayer type, effective date or interpretation, the calculator asks for that information or displays a limitation instead of pretending there is one universal answer.
Calculator pages explain the formula and cite the source so users can check the result independently. Laws and portals can change after publication, so a calculator is a planning aid and not a substitute for advice on a specific filing or transaction.
How we research and review content
Primary sources come first. Depending on the topic, these may include the Income Tax Department, GST portal, Ministry of Labour and Employment, EPFO, ESIC, RBI, MCA, state government departments and official product documentation. Reputable secondary sources may be used for context, but they do not replace the controlling law or official instruction.
Material that can affect money, filing or compliance is checked more carefully than a general software tutorial. We show publication and update dates, identify the author, name a reviewer where one participated, and link to the relevant source when practical. Our full process is set out in the editorial policy.
How we use AI
We use AI as an assistive research and production tool. It may help organize notes, test wording, inspect code or identify questions that require verification. AI output is not treated as a source, and no finance or compliance article is published solely from generated output. A human contributor remains responsible for the published page, its calculations and its cited evidence.
Independence, referrals and advertising
ReconScribe is independently operated. We are not a government department, tax authority, professional institute or accounting firm. Some pages may contain referral or affiliate links, and the site may display advertising. Those relationships do not purchase a favourable conclusion. Commercial links are disclosed on the relevant page and do not replace official sources.
Corrections and feedback
If you find a broken formula, outdated rate, missing state rule or unclear explanation, please send the page URL and the supporting official source to contact@reconscribe.com. We review material corrections and update the page when a change is verified.
