one’s own firm. There, it’s come where I met 4 young CA aspirant and my mentor who guided
me in every path of my internship. I worked in MDMS & Associates, Indore. I thought to get

In my internship tenure I have performed different work and tried my best to enhance my ability

Learnings during internship in details:

INCOME TAX
An income tax is a tax imposed on individuals or entities (taxpayers) in respect of the income or
profits earned by them (commonly called taxable income). Income tax generally is computed as the
product of a tax rate times the taxable income. Taxation rates may vary by type or characteristics of
the taxpayer and the type of income.
Taxable income of taxpayer’s resident in the jurisdiction is generally total income less income
producing expenses and other deductions. Generally, only net gain from sale of property, including
goods held for sale, is included in income. Income of a corporation's shareholders usually includes
distributions of profits from the corporation. Deductions typically include all income producing or
business expenses including an allowance for recovery of costs of business assets. Many jurisdictions
allow notional deductions for individuals, and may allow deduction of some personal expenses. Most
jurisdictions either do not tax income earned outside the jurisdiction or allow a credit for taxes paid to
other jurisdictions on such income. Non-resident is taxed only on certain types of income from
sources within the jurisdictions, with few exceptions.

How to file Income Tax Return (ITR)?


1. Collect required documents such as TDS certificates (Form16/16A), capital gains statement
The first step is to collect all the documents you will need to file your ITR such as Form 16, salary
slips, and interest certificates etc. The documents will help you compute your gross taxable income
and will provide you with the details of tax deducted at source (TDS) from your income
Form 16 is a TDS certificate given by your employer, if tax is deducted from your salary income.
Similarly, your bank is required to issue Form-16A for TDS deducted on interest payment to you on
fixed deposits. Ensure that all the TDS certificates received by you from all the deductor are in the
TRACES format.

2. Download and check Form 26AS


Form 26AS is your tax passbook which consists of all the details of the tax that has been deducted
from your income during the FY and deposited against your PAN. You must cross-check your TDS
certificates with Form 26AS to ensure that tax deducted from your incomes such as salary, interest etc.
is deposited with the government and against your PAN.

3. Rectify the errors in Form 26AS, if any


If the amounts shown in the TDS certificates (Form-16, Form-16A etc.) and Form 26AS do not match,
then you must take up the matter with your deductor to get the errors rectified. The deductor can be
your employer, bank or others and request him to correct the details.
If the error is not rectified, then you will not be able to claim the credit on that tax which is deducted.
Chartered accountants advise that one should keep track of your Form 26AS during the financial year
to avoid any discrepancies at time of filing ITR.
If your TDS is deducted but not deposited with the government and your deductor is not paying heed
to your complaints, then the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued certain circulars
regarding the same. The circulars state that income tax officers must not harass the deductee.

4. Compute total income for the financial year


Once you have collected all the documents needed and verified all the taxes that are deducted from
your income, you are required to compute the total income chargeable to tax.
Total income is computed by adding incomes from five different heads and claiming all the relevant
deductions allowed under the Income-Tax Act and setting off losses, if any.
Remember filling salary details in ITR is easier as the information required can be easily found in
Form-16. In addition to that, you are required to provide source wise bi-furcation of the incomes
taxable under the head Income from other sources.

5. Compute your tax liability


After computing your total income, you must calculate your tax liability by applying the tax rates in
force for FY as per your income slab. With new tax regime and old tax regime both in force, tax payer
has the option of choosing which regime they want to use and accordingly file income tax.

6. Calculate final tax payable, if any


Once you have computed your tax liability in the earlier step, deduct the taxes that have been already
paid by you through TDS, TCS and Advance Tax during the year.

7. File income tax return after all taxes are paid


Once taxes, if any due, are paid by you, you can start the process to file your ITR. If you want to claim
any refund from the tax department, you can do so only if you file your ITR. Therefore, you will have
to file your ITR even if you are not mandatorily required to do so as per rules. While filing your ITR
ensure that you are using the correct ITR form to file it. If you file your ITR using the wrong form,
then it will be termed as a defective return and you will be required to file it again.
8. E-verification acknowledgement
If you verify your ITR using an electronic method, then you will immediately receive the confirmation
from the tax department regarding verification of your ITR. If you have sent ITR-V via post to the I-T
department, they will send you an email confirming that your ITR-V has been received by the I-T
department, i.e., your return stands verified. The email will be sent to the email address you have
registered in your e-filing account on the income tax department's e-filing website.

GOODS AND SERVICES TAX


Introduction
GST is known as the Goods and Services Tax. It is an indirect tax which has replaced many indirect
taxes in India such as the excise duty, VAT, services tax, etc. The Goods and Service Tax Act was
passed in the Parliament on 29th March 2017 and came into effect on 1st July 2017.
In other words, Goods and Service Tax (GST) is levied on the supply of goods and services. Goods
and Services Tax Law in India is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on
every value addition. GST is a single domestic indirect tax law for the entire country.
Under the GST regime, the tax is levied at every point of sale. In the case of intra-state sales, Central
GST and State GST are charged. All the inter-state sales are chargeable to the Integrated GST.
Components of GST
There are three taxes applicable under this system: CGST, SGST & IGST.

 CGST: It is the tax collected by the Central Government on an intra-state sale (e.g., a
transaction happening within Maharashtra)

 SGST: It is the tax collected by the state government on an intra-state sale (e.g., a transaction
happening within Maharashtra)

 IGST: It is a tax collected by the Central Government for an inter-state sale (e.g., Maharashtra
to Tamil Nadu)

GST Registration
For any entity operating business in India, to fill GST and take the benefits and file indirect tax in the
country, registration on GST portal is necessary.
In the GST Regime, businesses whose turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs* (Rs 10 lakhs for NE and hill
states) is required to register as a normal taxable person. This process of registration is called GST
registration.
For certain businesses, registration under GST is mandatory. If the organization carries on business
without registering under GST, it will be an offence under GST and heavy penalties will apply.
GST registration usually takes between 2-6 working days.
Who should register on GST Portal?

 Individuals registered under the Pre-GST law (i.e., Excise, VAT, Service Tax etc.)

 Businesses with turnover above the threshold limit of Rs. 40 Lakhs* (Rs. 10 Lakhs for North-
Eastern States, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand)

 Casual taxable person / Non-Resident taxable person

 Agents of a supplier & Input service distributor

 Those paying tax under the reverse charge mechanism

 Person who supplies via e-commerce aggregator

 Every e-commerce aggregator

 Person supplying online information and database access or retrieval services from a place
outside India to a person in India, other than a registered taxable person

Working of GST Portal


After registering the business or entity on GST portal, one can file GST returns to avail the benefits of
ITC input after fulfilling all the conditions required.
There are three components which are required to file quarterly or monthly on the portal as per the
conditions fulfilled.

 GSTR 3B:

GSTR-3B is a self-declared summary GST return filed every month (quarterly for QRMP scheme). It
must be filed by a registered taxpayer from July 2017 onwards.

 A separate GSTR-3B must be filed for every GSTIN


 The GST liability must be paid on or before the date of filing GSTR-3B, earlier of its due date
 The GSTR-3B once filed cannot be revised
 Even in case of a zero liability, GSTR-3B must be compulsorily filed

During the tenure of internship, I filed GSTR 3B of different clients as per their sales and purchases to
register their output liability and input tax credit.
Late fees and Penalty
A late fee is charged for filing GSTR-3B of a tax period after the due date. It is levied as follows:
 Rs.50 per day of delay

 Rs.20 per day of delay for taxpayers having nil tax liability for the month

In case the GST dues are not paid within the due date, interest at 18% per annum is payable on the
amount of outstanding tax to be paid.

 GSTR 1:

GSTR-1 is a monthly or quarterly return that should be filed by every registered GST taxpayer, except
a few as given in further section. It contains details of all outward supplies i.e., sales. The return has a
total of 13 sections, listed down as follows:

 Tables 1, 2 & 3: GSTIN, legal and trade names, and aggregate turnover in the previous year
 Table 4: Taxable outward supplies to registered persons (including UIN-holders) excluding
zero-rated supplies and deemed exports
 Table 5: Taxable outward inter-state supplies to unregistered persons where the invoice value is
more than Rs.2.5 lakh
 Table 6: Zero-rated supplies as well as deemed exports
 Table 7: Taxable supplies to unregistered persons other than the supplies covered in table 5 (net
of debit notes and credit notes)
 Table 8: Outward supplies that are nil rated, exempted and non-GST in nature
 Table 9: Amendments to outward supplies that are taxable and reported in table 4,5 & 6 of the
earlier tax periods’ GSTR-1 return (including debit notes, credit notes, refund vouchers issued during
the current period)
 Table 10: Debit note and credit note issued to unregistered person
 Table 11: Details of advances received or adjusted in the current tax period or amendments of
the information reported in the earlier tax period.
 Table 12: Outward supplies summary based on HSN codes
 Table 13: Documents issued during the period.

GSTR 1 only holds the sales details of the taxpayers which should reconcile with the details of GSTR
3B. These details need to be filed monthly by the taxpayers. A return filed cannot be revised. If any
mistake is being made, then it can be rectified in the next month filing. For example, if any wrong
figure is filed in December month filing, then it can be rectified in January month.
Late fees for GSTR 1
As per the GST law, a late fee for not filing GSTR-1 is Rs. 200 per day of delay (Rs. 100 as per the
CGST Act and Rs. 100 as per SGST Act). The late fee will be charged from the date after the due
date. However, after going through the notifications issued up to February 2021, the late fees continue
to be levied at a reduced fee of Rs. 50 per day and Rs 20 per day (for nil return). Note that on the GST
portal, the late fee on GSTR-1 is currently not being demanded as a part of payment challan in PMT-
06 at the time of filing GSTR-3B. However, the tax officer may raise a notice demanding late fee for
the period of delay at the time of assessment of returns.

 GSTR 2A

GSTR 2A is a purchase-related tax return that is automatically generated for each business by the GST
portal. When a seller files his GSTR-1, the information is captured in GSTR 2A   It takes information
of goods and/or services which have been purchased in a given month from the seller’s GSTR-1. You
are required to verify (and amend) this return before filing in on GST Portal. 
Since GSTR 2A is an auto generated statement, it needs to reconcile with GSTR 3B and if there is
excess ITC or less ITC claimed, that needs to be rectified in the upcoming returns filed by the
taxpayer.
These components constitute the monthly or quarterly returns filed by the taxpayer on a regular basis
of the previous month. In terms of filing, for easing the process of filing for the taxpayer, government
introduced quarterly returns monthly payment scheme which as follows:
New scheme- quarterly returns monthly payment (QRMP)
As a part of the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ Initiative, the CBIC has come with a new Scheme for filing
GST Returns named Quarterly Return Monthly Payment Scheme under Circular No. 143/13/2020-
GST on 10th November 2020. This helps the small taxpayers whose yearly turnover is less than INR
5 Crore. This scheme allows the Taxpayers to File returns Quarterly and tax payment Monthly
effectively from January 2021.
Eligibility:
A taxpayer (taxpayer/persons) who is registered on the GST Portal and is filing the return in Form
GSTR-3B and has an aggregate yearly turnover of up to 5 Crore INR of the preceding financial year
are eligible for this new scheme of QRMP. Some classes of Taxpayers are by default in the criteria of
this scheme are automatically redirected in this scheme. 
When can a taxpayer Opt-Out?
In case the taxpayer exceeds the aggregate turnover of 5 Crore INR during any quarter of the current
FY, then they need to opt-out from the scheme and they need to file the return every month, on the
common portal from the succeeding quarter. If the aggregate turnover again falls below 5 Crore then
they can again opt for this scheme.

Reverse change mechanism


Normally, the supplier of goods or services pays the tax on supply. In the case of Reverse Charge, the
receiver becomes liable to pay the tax, i.e., the chargeability gets reversed.

When is Reverse Charge Applicable?


A. Supply from an unregistered dealer to a registered dealer
If a vendor who is not registered under GST, supplies goods to a person who is registered under GST,
then Reverse Charge would apply. This means that the GST will have to be paid directly by the
receiver to the Government instead of the supplier. The registered dealer who has to pay GST under
reverse charge has to do self-invoicing for the purchases made. For Inter-state purchases the buyer has
to pay IGST. For Intra-state purchased CGST and SGST has to be paid under RCM by the purchaser.
B. Services through an e-commerce operator
If an e-commerce operator supplies services then reverse charge will be applicable to the e-commerce
operator. He will be liable to pay GST. For example, UrbanClap provides services of plumbers,
electricians, teachers, beauticians etc. UrbanClap is liable to pay GST and collect it from the
customers instead of the registered service providers. If the e-commerce operator does not have a
physical presence in the taxable territory, then a person representing such electronic commerce
operator for any purpose will be liable to pay tax. If there is no representative, the operator will
appoint a representative who will be held liable to pay GST.
C. Supply of certain goods and services specified by CBEC
CBEC has issued a list of goods and a list of services on which reverse charge is applicable.  
Self-invoicing is to be done when you have purchased from an unregistered supplier AND such
purchase of goods or services falls under reverse charge.
This is due to the fact that your supplier cannot issue a GST-compliant invoice to you, and thus you
become liable to pay taxes on their behalf. Hence, self-invoicing, in this case, becomes necessary.
TDS and TCS on GST
TDS refers to the tax which is deducted when the buyer of goods or services, such as government
departments, makes payments under a business contract. On the other hand, TCS refers to the tax
which is collected by the electronic commerce operator when a seller supplies some goods or services
through its website and the payment for that supply is collected by the electronic commerce operator.
Who is liable to deduct TDS under GST?

 A department or an establishment of the Central Government or State Government; or

 Local authority; or

 Governmental agencies; or
 Such persons or category of persons, notified by the Government.

 Public sector undertakings, or

 A society established by the Central or any State Government or a Local Authority and the
society is registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, or

 An authority or a board or any other body which has been set up by Parliament or a State
Legislature or by a government, with 51% equity (control) owned by the government.

What is the rate of TDS to be deducted under GST?


The rate of TDS notified under the GST laws is 2% (1% CGST+1% SGST or 2% IGST) on the
payments made to the seller of taxable goods or services

From a deductee or supplier’s standpoint, there will an automatic reflection in his electronic ledger
once the deductor files his/her returns under the TDS system. The deductee can claim credit in his
electronic cash ledger of this tax deducted and use it for payments of other taxes, at his convenience.
TDS majorly helps in bringing the unorganized sectors to comply with the tax provisions and keeps
frauds at bay.
Likewise, TCS in GST regulates the online sellers, keeps a check on the transactions and ensures
timely deposit of tax with the government.
TCS on Sale of Goods
Provisions of TCS on sale of goods applies when any seller receives consideration for the sale of
goods from a buyer of an amount exceeding INR 50 lakh in a single financial year and turnover of
such seller in the preceding financial year exceeds INR 10 crore.
However, TCS does not apply in the case where:

 Goods are exported outside India or imported in India;

 Buyer is liable to deduct tax at source (TDS) on such goods;

 Buyer is Central Government, State Government, Embassy, High Commission, Legation,


or trade representation of a foreign state;

 Buyer is a local authority as per section 10(20) of the Act;

 The goods are already covered under the existing provisions of TCS (e.g., alcoholic liquor,
tendu leaves, scrap, motor vehicles, etc.)
Rates and Administration
TCS is required to be collected on receipt of sale consideration in excess of INR 50 lakh at the rate
of 0.1% (0.075% for the period between 1 October 2020 to 31 March 2021). However, in case the
buyer does not furnish PAN/Aadhar, the rate shall be 1% (will this not be 0.75%).
The TCS so collected by the seller is required to be deposited with the government by the 7th day of
every month following the month in which TCS is collected.

GST AUDIT
Audit under GST involves examination of records, returns and other documents maintained by a GST
registered person. It also ensures correctness of turnover declared, taxes paid, refund claimed, input
tax credit availed and assess other such compliances under GST Act to be checked by an authorized
expert. GST is a trust-based taxation regime wherein a taxpayer is required to self-assess his tax
liability, pay taxes and file returns. Thus, to ensure whether the taxpayer has correctly self -assessed
his tax liability a robust audit mechanism is a must. 
Operations under GST Audit
Vouching: Vouching is a procedure followed in the process of the audit to authorize the credibility of
the entries entered in the books of accounts. In simple and easier words, it is a precise investigation of
the presented documents of the firm by an auditor to check the correctness and accuracy of such
documents. It is the foremost step of the auditing process based on which auditor performs his work
and prepare an audit report.
Preparing reconciliation between:

 Financials Statements audited and provisional financials made by the accountant or CA and match the
turnover and purchase details
 Books and GSTR 3B (for determining net tax liability left for filing by the tax payer in the FY)
 Books and GSTR 3B (for determining input tax liability left to be filed by the tax payer against what is
there in the books maintained)
 Books and GSTR 2A (for determining the net differences in the auto generated statement and books
maintained by the taxpayer)
 Party Wise reconciliation between GSTR 2A and books to determine the difference ITC
 These corrections and differences tracked by auditor needs to be filed in GSTR 9C with the comments
to be put forward

Accounts that need to be Review:

 Sales Register

 Stock Register

 Purchase Register and Expenses ledgers

 Input tax credit availed and utilized

 Output tax payable and paid

 E-way bills generated during the period under Audit, if in compliance with rules.

 Any documents that record communications from the GST department relating to the year.

Review of comments by GST Auditor:


The Auditor must report any tax liability pending for payment by the taxpayer, identified through the
reconciliation exercise and observations made on GST audit. Taxpayers can settle taxes as
recommended by the auditor in Form DRC-03.
Submission of GST Audit report & Annual return:
The finalized GSTR-9C can be certified by the same CA who conducted the GST audit or it can also
be certified by any other CA who did not conduct the GST Audit for that particular GSTIN. The
following must be reported and certified by the GST Auditor or the certifier:

 Whether or not all the requisite accounts or records are maintained.

 Whether or not the Financial Statements are prepared as per the books of
accounts maintained at the principal place of business or additional place of business of the taxpayer.

 Certify the accuracy of information in GSTR-9C.

 To list down the audit observations or reservations or comments, if any.

GSTR 9C
Every registered person whose aggregate turnover during a financial year exceeds two crore rupees
shall get his accounts audited as specified under sub-section (5) of section 35 of the CGST Act, and
shall furnish a copy of the audited annual accounts and a reconciliation statement, duly certified, in
FORM GSTR-9C.
Who must prepare & submit GSTR-9C?
GSTR-9C must be prepared and certified by a Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant. It must be
filed on the GST portal or through a facilitation center by the taxpayer, along with other documents
such as the copy of the Audited Accounts and Annual Return in form GSTR-9. This statement is
applicable to all those taxpayers who must get their Annual Accounts audited under the GST laws.
Audit under GST applies to those registered persons whose Annual aggregate turnover exceeds rupees
two crores^ in that FY. ^The limit is enhanced to Rs.5 crore for the GSTR-9C of FY 2018-19 as per
the CBIC notification dated 23rd March 2020.

ADDITIONAL WORK PERFORMED OTHER THAN TAXATION:

FINANCIAL CONSULTANCY
A financial consultant is essentially the same as a financial advisor. They often offer a number of
services, with their financial advice being based on the client’s specific needs and goals. In some
cases, a financial consultant may have more financial planning experience than the typical financial
advisor. Financial consultants usually provide investment services as well, though.
In our Firm, we prepared provisional financial statements of the clients to provide them financial
consultancy for their business. Provisional financial statements are basically prepared from the books
provided by the clients which acts as a basis for future investments and expenses by the clients which
could increase their turnover and what could be more done for future business developments.
In short, financial consultants offer personalized advice to help investors build wealth. They may offer
financial planning, identify well-suited investments and guide insurance decisions. They often direct
the buying and selling of investments, like stocks and bonds, on their clients’ behalf. Some may also
sell financial products.

BUSINESS CONSULTANCY
Business consultants are essentially professional advisors. Organizations and firms in all industries
hire outside business consultants to help them solve particular problems or to get advice on the best
way to handle certain aspects of their business. Once employed, a business consultant will
professionally analyse the business and create solutions designed to help the company reach their
goals. While most business consultants work as independent contractors, it is possible to hire an in-
house employee.

TCS ON JEWELLERY SALE


Section 206C(1D) provides for TCS obligation on sale of jewellery, sale of bullion, and residuary limb
being any other goods (other than bullion or jewellery), if the value of consideration received in cash
exceeds specified limits as under:
For sale of jewellery, cash consideration exceeding Rs. 5 lakhs for sale of bullion and any other goods
in residuary category, cash consideration exceeding Rs. 2 lakhs
The Finance Bill 2017 proposes to omit specific reference to jewellery’ from section 206C(1D) such
that post amendment, TCS obligation would be in respect of cash sale of “bullion” or “any other
goods (other than bullion)” of an amount exceeding Rs. 2 lakhs. The proposed amended provision
would read as under:
“(1D) Every person, being a seller, who receives any amount in cash as consideration for sale of
bullion or jewellery [or any other goods (other than bullion or jewellery) or any other goods (other
than bullion) or providing any service], shall, at the time of receipt of such amount in cash, collect
from the buyer, a sum equal to one per cent of sale consideration as income-tax, if such consideration,

(i) for bullion, exceeds two hundred thousand rupees; or
(ii) for jewellery, exceeds five hundred thousand rupees; [or]
(iii) for any goods, other than those referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), or any service, exceeds two
hundred thousand rupees:”
An issue arises as to whether the proposed amendment intends to take out sale of jewellery completely
from TCS levy or intends to retain the TCS levy on jewellery but with lower threshold of Rs. 2 lakhs.
A plain reading of the amended s. 206C(1D) (as reproduced above) would suggest that jewellery
would now be covered under residuary clause “any other goods (other than bullion)” with lower
threshold of Rs. 2 lakhs. The understanding, that the proposed amendment lowers the threshold of
cash sale of jewellery from 5 lakhs to 2 lakhs, is also in line with the provisions of proposed 269ST
restricting the amount of receipt in cash receipt by any person in excess of Rs. 3 lakhs. There seems to
be no reason to exclude cash sales of jewellery beyond Rs. 2 lakhs from out of TCS levy- more
particularly, jewellery is identified as source of investing black money.
However, the Explanatory Memorandum while dealing with the proposal in the Finance Bill, 2017 on
introduction of section 269ST suggests as “It is also proposed to consequentially amend the provisions
of section 206C to omit the provision relating to tax collection at source at the rate of one per cent of
sale consideration on cash sale of jewellery exceeding five lakh rupees.”

FORM 26QB
Form 26QB is a return-cum-challan form for the payment of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) to the
government for deductions made under Section 194-IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This section of
the Act specifically deals with transactions involving the sale of immovable property and the
applicable TDS along with Form 26QB needs to be submitted within 30 days counted from the end of
the month in which TDS was deducted. For instance, if the transaction occurred on 14th March then
Form 26QB must be mandatorily submitted by 30th April.

Key Features of Form 26QB under Section 194-IA


The Income Tax Act, 1961 has laid out a few key rules regarding sale and purchase of immovable
property. In such transactions covered under Section 194-IA, the buyer, also known as the deductor, is
required to deduct TDS if the transaction value is more than Rs. 50 lakhs. Subsequently, the deductor
will required to issue Form 16B to the deductee (seller).
All the requirements for Form 26QB have been listed under Section 194-IA. They are:

 Under Section 194-IA, the buyer must deduct TDS at the rate of 1% of the total sale amount at
the time of completing the transaction.

 TDS u/s 194-IA is not applicable to transactions involving agricultural land.

 TDS on immovable property sale is not applicable for transactions valued at less than Rs.50
lakhs. For transactions beyond this limit, TDS is deducted on the entire transaction amount. For
instance, if the property cost Rs.52 lakhs then you have to pay TDS on Rs.52 lakhs and not Rs.2 lakhs
(Rs.52 lakhs – Rs.50 lakhs).

 If the payment is made in instalments then TDS is deducted proportionately on each individual
instalment.
 The buyer does not need to obtain Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) to deduct and
deposit TDS. However, PAN is mandatory for both the seller and the buyer in case TDS deduction
occurs using Form 26QB.

 The buyer is supposed to deposit TDS and submit form 26QB within 30 days from the end of
the month in which TDS was deducted.

 In case there are multiple buyers and sellers involved in the transaction, the deductor will be
required to submit multiple Form 26QB.  

 After deducting and depositing TDS, the buyer must furnish a TDS certificate to the seller
within 15 days of the transaction in lieu of the tax deducted and deposited to the government.

 The buyer must then obtain Form 16B and furnish it to the seller.

Results/ observations/ work experience:

I thoroughly enjoyed my internship this semester and now have very valuable experience under my
belt. I know this will help when looking for jobs and needing references. I was dreading it in the
beginning, but now I am so happy it was required.

We all know that practical experience is the best, and internships give students that hands-on
experience they need. I feel that quality internships are essential to develop key skills that you can't
get in a classroom. Skills such as multitasking, communicating, learning to deal with diversity, and
dealing with deadlines are different when you are working for someone else, not yourself like you do
in college. It is also a great way to network with people in the industry. My boss and co-workers
were great about giving me contacts and referring me to open positions in the industry.

I learned that customer service is hard. You can’t please everyone. There are people in this world that
are simply difficult. I have learned that stressing over little things will not get me anywhere. I have
learned to work well as a team and that without my counterparts the work would not get done.
Another aspect that I learned throughout my internship is to never be afraid to ask lots of questions.
By asking questions I got answers.

It would be beneficial to encourage students to find their internship based on their future career goals.
It's not always necessary to stick to what's listed or given to us to find the perfect internship. I found
my internship on my own. MDMS does not usually have interns, and never posts listings on the web
site. I really wanted an internship that would prepare for my chosen career path, and didn't find
anything that interested me on the web site or in the e-mails that were sent out.

"I think that an internship is extremely valuable to a student. It is a small taste of the real world. It
helped reinforce my knowledge of responsibility, focus, drive and ambition. I had to be responsible
for people’s taxation, audit, getting to work on time, fulfilling my word and completing all of the tasks
that I was assigned. I learned focus. I learned drive during really long days of events. I got tired, but
didn’t give up. The only way to gain experience, and move up in the working world is to be driven,
focused and to have a will to never give up.

"I never realized how important experience is in the working world. Obviously in the college bubble
we are warned of many things, but until we actually face them, they are just that, warnings. The work
world is grueling and it is now obvious as to why it is so important to do what you love. Because even
with jobs that you love there will be days when you just want to quit. Starting out in the working
world is also humbling, being the "new kid", having to do all the work that no one else wants to do
and having the crappy schedules.

It provides a different perspective and a context for academic learning, an opportunity to put theory
into practice. It helped me to develop ideas for my future planning. It helped me to chose my career
and broader perspective to look forward.

Challenges that I faced during the internship:

I faced lot of challenges during my internship as I was new to this field where I had minimal
information/or knowledge about the topic. But it was fun and fascinating doing this internship. During
starting of internship, I was hesitated to ask question as I thought if I ask the question, I would be
judged but my supervisor told me that ‘don’t assume: always ask or check if you’re not sure. You will
avoid silly mistake and crumbly bridges. Communication is one of those internship challenges that can
actually hinder your internship time. In starting, I faced awkward introduction- You’re introduced to a
lot of people. Actually, too many people to remember the names and their department/designations.

I might politely say, hello but I don’t really know what to say next. So, I remain awkwardly quiet.

There is change in lifestyle that can be quite jarring. A balance between work, academics, and
personal life also seems to be a challenge.

Sometime supervisors forget that we are newbie to the field, sometimes it gets difficult to understand
what they said need to go through lot of deep understanding to particular topic.
CONCLUSION

Internship is a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. Now that I have
completed my Internship, I believe the experience I have gathered working in the official environment
will be proven vital for me to go ahead in my professional life. During my internship I have realized
how finance have been contributing more and more to the development of cooperate world.
Past 14 weeks has brought lot of change in my life which help me in increasing my knowledge and
also helpful in coming future.
There were lot of new thing I learnt in doing this internship such as:
Improve communication skills.
Analyze the business situation.
Establish high standard in professionalism.
Learn more than the theoretical knowledge.
Learn book keeping practices of different companies.
Apply the theoretical knowledge in actual organization.
Compare practical aspects with theoretical aspects.
Make quick decision in real situation.
Learn how promote and conduct research in business area.
Promote my personal knowledge and professional preparation for future. To properly integrate my
theoretical knowledge and practical work.
Plan for the future of oneself and learn how to adjust in an organization.
Know how to present your recommendations in front of your boss.
Get knowledge of opportunities and threats while entering into an organization.
Get exposure to do a work in an organization and also known about organizational behavior, ethical
rules and regulations.
