Earnings and payouts

BenefitStack pays CAs a fixed fee for each case that reaches Filed status. The fee is agreed upfront — you know what you will earn before you claim the case.

How the fee is set

The fixed fee for each case is determined by BenefitStack based on the scheme type and the complexity of the application. Fees are visible on the case card in the marketplace before you claim. The fee does not depend on the outcome of the government's decision — you are paid for the work of preparing and filing the application.

When payment is released

Payment is released within 3–5 business days of a case reaching Filed status. You do not need to send an invoice — BenefitStack processes the payment automatically based on the case status update. Payments are made to the bank account linked to your PAN at the time of your CA application.

The earnings tab

Your Earnings tab on the CA dashboard shows:

• Total earned — cumulative earnings across all filed cases since you joined
• Per-case breakdown — a list of completed cases with the scheme name, filing date, and amount earned

If you have no filed cases yet, the tab shows your total as zero. The breakdown list appears once your first case reaches Filed status.

Revenue share

BenefitStack takes a platform fee as a percentage of each case fee. The net amount shown in your earnings tab and paid to you is after this deduction. The exact revenue share percentage is agreed at the time of your CA application approval.

Tax on earnings

Earnings from BenefitStack are professional income. You are responsible for declaring them in your income tax return. BenefitStack does not deduct TDS on payments to CAs — this may be updated in a future release in line with applicable regulations.
