- Online tax consultation lets you talk to a verified Tax Expert or e-CA (Chartered Accountant) from home — no appointments, no office visits.
- On TaxFetch you get unlimited one-on-one chat, a secure document vault and trusted advice, all inside your own client dashboard.

Tax season in India usually means one of three things: spending hours confused by forms, paying a high one-off fee to a local Chartered Accountant you can barely reach, or simply guessing and hoping for the best. Online tax consultation fixes all three. Instead of chasing an office appointment, you talk to a verified expert from your phone or laptop — at a time that suits you — and get clear, personal answers to your exact situation.
This guide explains what online tax consultation is, how it works on TaxFetch, what it costs, and how to get started. If you are new to the platform, you may also want to read What is TaxFetch? for the full picture.
Talk to a verified Tax Expert or e-CA online
Get personal, one-on-one help with your taxes from a verified expert — unlimited chat, a secure document vault and trusted advice, all from your own client dashboard.
What is online tax consultation?
Online tax consultation is professional, one-on-one tax help delivered entirely over the internet. Rather than visiting a Chartered Accountant’s office, you are matched with a verified Tax Expert or e-CA who answers your questions through secure chat, reviews any documents you upload, and guides you to the right decision. Everything happens inside a private dashboard, so your conversation and files stay in one organised place.
On TaxFetch this is built around three promises: experts are verified, your chat is unlimited for the duration of your plan, and your documents live in a secure vault — never scattered across email or WhatsApp.

- Capital gains — shares, mutual funds, crypto and property; how to compute and how to save.
