Many commerce graduates fail technical interviews not because they lack theoretical knowledge, but because they cannot explain how transactions translate to portal filings. Here are the top questions you must prepare:
1. What are the Golden Rules of Accounting vs the Modern Approach? Do not just recite "Debit what comes in, Credit what goes out". Explain the asset/liability ledger logic. Under the modern approach, increase in Assets/Expenses is debited, and increase in Liabilities/Capital/Revenue is credited.
2. Can you explain the difference between GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B? * **GSTR-2A** is a dynamic, real-time read-only return. It keeps changing as suppliers file late. * **GSTR-2B** is a static, fixed return generated once a month on the 14th. The law mandates matching ITC with 2B only.
3. How do you handle Section 194J vs 194C TDS deductions? * **Section 194C** applies to contractual work (TDS rate: 1% for Ind/HUF, 2% for corporate). * **Section 194J** applies to professional or technical services (TDS rate: 10%, or 2% for royalties/technical call centers). Explain to the interviewer that classifying these correctly is vital to avoid compliance penalty fees.
4. Tell me about your experience in Tally or SAP. Instead of saying "I know how to entry vouchers", say "I can configure bank reconciliation statements, configure tax rates inside LEDGER creation, and export XML reports for direct filing."
