Terms of use

The terms for using this website, its publications, and its interactive tools.

Last updated September 14, 2026

In brief
  • You can read, download, and share our publications for your own use, with credit. Republishing them needs our permission.
  • Everything here is general information, not advice, and using it does not make you a client.
  • The interactive tools give estimates from what you enter. Check the results before relying on them.
  • Indian law governs these terms, and the courts at Pune decide any dispute.

01About these terms

This website is published by Soni Aditya & Associates, Chartered Accountants, Pune. By using it you accept these terms; if you do not accept them, please do not use it. We may update the terms, and the date at the top shows when they last changed.

02Information, not advice

Everything on this website, including articles, exhibits, case studies, and tool results, is general information. It is not professional advice on your circumstances, it reflects the law and standards at the date it was written, and it does not create a professional relationship. Take advice on your own facts before acting.

03Interactive tools

The IFRS 16 lease calculator and the audit-readiness diagnostic produce results from the information you enter and from the simplifying assumptions described with each tool. They are not a substitute for a full analysis of your contracts, your controls, or your accounts, and we have not reviewed their results for your circumstances.

Check any figure before using it in financial statements, a filing, or a decision. The tools run in your browser, and we do not see what you enter.

04Using our content

Unless stated otherwise, the text, exhibits, and artwork on this website belong to Soni Aditya & Associates. Photographs belong to their owners and are used with permission or under licence. You may:

  • read, print, and download our publications, including the article PDFs, for your own use or for use inside your organisation;
  • share links to any page; and
  • quote short extracts, with credit to Soni Aditya & Associates and a link to the page.

Without our written permission, you may not republish whole articles or exhibits, change an exhibit or remove its source or credit, use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you, or copy the website systematically, including by automated means.

05Acceptable use

Please do not use this website or its forms to send unlawful, abusive, or unsolicited material, to attempt unauthorised access to any system, to introduce malicious code, or to disrupt the website for others.

07Availability

We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of this website without notice, and we do not promise that it will always be available or free of errors.

08Liability

The website, its publications, and its tools are provided as they are. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from the use of, or reliance on, any of them, or from the website being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Professional work for clients is governed by the engagement letter for that work, not by these terms.

09Privacy

How we handle personal data sent through this website is described in our privacy policy.

10Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Pune have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
