It was a great experience with Anitha from ebizfiling who guided me for doing the IEC renewal.
I had already missed the ITR date until I came across their Facebook post which reminded me of the same. I simply contacted them and they did it all.
Very efficient service to get yourself registered with your Business. Had a very good experience.
