As a small-scale manufacturing unit owner in Delhi, my wife and I have been running our company for 8 years. Our annual turnover is around ₹30 lakhs. We’re facing a tough situation with our current auditor who seems to be taking advantage of us. Despite settling all previous dues, he’s demanding an additional ₹1 lakh claiming it’s from the 2014-15 financial year. He hasn’t provided us with complete company data, including crucial sales tax assessments for several years, and even failed to file the Balance Sheet with the ROC for 2014-15.

My friend, who lives in the US, is being asked to share his company’s payment processing system with an Indian tech support company.

They’re asking my friend to let them use his, promising he won’t have to interact with their clients. Is this legal? Could my friend be held responsible if the Indian company misuses his system or if their American clients have issues? If so, is there a way to protect him through a contract that clearly states he’s only handling payments?
