The Indian Direct Taxes Handbook for CFOs: Mastery, Governance, and Strategic Decision-Making (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244950564)

Direct taxes are no longer a specialist's concern confined to compliance and filings. For today's Indian CFO, they are a core leadership responsibility-shaping cash flows, influencing strategic decisions, defining governance credibility, and testing professional judgment.

The Indian Direct Taxes Handbook for CFOs: Mastery, Governance, and Strategic Decision-Making by Manoj Dembla is written for finance leaders who are expected to do far more than "manage tax." It is designed for CFOs who must understand, decide, explain, and remain accountable for tax positions in an environment of increasing regulatory scrutiny and complexity.

This book does not attempt to teach tax law or reproduce statutory provisions. Instead, it simplifies complexity without diluting substance, presenting Indian direct taxes through a clear, practical CFO lens. The focus is on understanding how the tax system works, where risks arise, how decisions should be evaluated, and how tax considerations must be integrated into business and financial strategy.

Covering corporate taxation, transactional tax impact, international taxation and transfer pricing, assessments and litigation, and tax governance frameworks, the handbook equips CFOs to engage confidently with advisors, regulators, and boards-while retaining ownership of critical decisions.

Grounded in nearly four decades of professional experience across organisations including the Jaypee Group and the T-Series Group, this book reflects real-world judgment rather than academic abstraction.
