Startup checklist 03: cash & invoicing with Raja Jeevan Kumar Maduri

Startup checklist 03 of 20: cash and invoicing control for freelancers. Twenty-seven checks to make sure work turns into money in the bank, on time, with the tax side clean. Built for Indian freelancers and independent consultants.

Covers the money trail, invoice discipline, advances and milestone billing, India tax checkpoints (GST registration, TDS reconciliation, presumptive 44ADA, export zero-rating), weekly and monthly controls, and the red flags to fix this week.

This checklist is general guidance, not tax, legal or financial advice. Statutory references are current as of October 2026 - confirm rates, thresholds and applicability with a qualified CA before acting.
