Vile Parle (East), Mumbai · +91 22 2618 3609 · chirag@cbma.co.in
A Mumbai chartered accountancy practice, established 2004.
C B Mehta & Associates has advised Mumbai businesses and families since 2004. What began as a direct-tax practice is today a full-service firm across direct and indirect tax, audit, corporate law and valuation.
A Vile Parle firm built on tax, and on people.
The firm is a Chartered Accountancy practice based at Vile Parle, Mumbai, specialising in both direct and indirect taxes. It is headed by its proprietor, CA Chirag B. Mehta, and brings together a team of seasoned professionals and tax-law specialists who handle the full range of a client's needs - from routine compliance to contested matters.
Whether the client is a business or an individual, the approach is the same: tailored solutions for tax planning, compliance and strategy, with personalised attention at every step. Over the years the bench has grown to six Chartered Accountants and a team of more than sixty, and the firm's indirect-tax depth now reaches across the country through the DSM & Alliance network.
On contested and appellate work, the firm is supported by Senior Advocate Shri S. S. Phadkar, who looks after legal drafting and appearances before the appellate authorities - so a matter can be carried from first notice to final hearing without leaving the room.
The result is a practice large enough to take on complex, multi-jurisdiction work, yet close enough that a client - or an article assistant - still deals directly with the firm's chartered accountants.
- Est. 2004 - over two decades of continuous practice.
- 6 Chartered Accountants across direct tax, indirect tax, audit and valuation.
- 60+ professionals, article assistants and support staff.
- DSM & Alliance - an ICAI-registered GST network across four cities.
- Senior counsel on appellate and litigation matters.
- Vile Parle (East), Mumbai - one office, one team.
One practice, built over the years.
Each name on the bench joined the firm's story at a different point - and each brought a different specialism. Together they span direct tax, GST, audit and valuation.
The firm is founded - CA Chirag B. Mehta
The practice is established at Vile Parle, with CA Bharat Mehta anchoring direct tax and CA Chirag B. Mehta building the indirect-tax and GST work.

How the firm works.
We advise businesses and individuals on direct and indirect taxation, audit, corporate law and valuation, with an emphasis on compliance, accuracy and clear communication.
Tax law changes frequently, so we work to stay current and to explain the reasoning behind the advice we give, not only the outcome.
We also place importance on training - article assistants work across the firm's practice areas alongside the firm's chartered accountants, with their work reviewed and discussed as they go.
Four things the firm doesn't compromise on.
Integrity
Advice you can act on and stand behind - compliance first, always, with nothing hidden in the footnotes.
Client focus
Tailored strategies, not templates. Each engagement is shaped to the goals and constraints in front of it.
Continuous learning
The law changes constantly. So do we - through training, professional bodies and teaching the next generation.
Camaraderie
A profession built on collaboration. The work is demanding - the team that does it shouldn't feel like strangers.
DSM & Alliance - an ICAI-registered network.

Articleship at C B Mehta & Associates.
During the two years of articleship, assistants work on live client files across the firm's practice - direct tax, GST, audit, valuation and litigation support - with their work reviewed by the firm's chartered accountants.
What articleship here involves.
- Live client files across direct tax, GST, audit and valuation.
- Carrying matters from first notice through to hearing.
- Working with the firm's six chartered accountants across practice areas.
- Exposure to multi-state GST through the DSM & Alliance network.
What the articleship offers.
A few things that describe how articleship works at the firm.
Varied work
Assistants rotate through direct tax, GST, statutory and tax audits, valuation and litigation support across the two years.
Review by the senior team
Work is reviewed by the firm's chartered accountants across each area of practice, with the reasoning behind it explained.
Pan-India exposure
Through the DSM & Alliance network across Mumbai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru, assistants see multi-state GST matters.
Structured supervision
Regular review of work, with the firm's chartered accountants available to discuss questions day to day.
Two years, designed as a progression.
Articleship is a real sequence - each year builds on the last. Here's roughly how responsibility grows as you do, from your first working papers to representing the firm's positions.
Foundations - learn how the work flows, then start owning it.
You start close to the ground: preparing and filing income-tax and GST returns, building working papers, handling reconciliations and learning audit fundamentals. As the year goes on you begin leading small sections of statutory and tax audits and drafting replies to routine notices - moving from knowing the tools to using them on live client files.
Depth & responsibility - carry files, and guide juniors.
With the basics solid, you rotate through direct tax, GST, audit and valuation - owning files end to end with a chartered accountant reviewing your work and explaining the why. You support litigation and appellate matters alongside senior counsel, help frame the firm's positions, handle multi-state GST issues through the DSM network, and guide the new intake. You finish knowing not just how to do the work, but how to think about it.
Every articleship is shaped to the person and the firm's live engagements, so the exact path will vary - but the direction of travel, from foundations to real responsibility, does not.
The areas you rotate through.
Over the two years, assistants get exposure across the firm's practice areas.
Direct Tax
Returns, planning, assessments and scrutiny support for companies, firms and individuals.
Indirect Tax & GST
Registrations, returns, GST audits, advisory and departmental representation.
Audit & Assurance
Statutory audit under the Companies Act and tax audit under the Income-tax Act, plus internal audits.
Corporate & Company Law
Incorporations, ROC annual filings and the secretarial compliance behind a clean entity.
Valuation
Valuation of businesses and securities for transactions and statutory requirements.
Advisory & Litigation
Opinions, structuring and representation before the authorities, alongside senior counsel.
