Vipin Jain

Vipin Jain has over three decades of experience in the area of indirect taxes, including Customs, GST, Central Excise and Service Tax. He is widely respected for his comprehensive and thorough knowledge of indirect tax laws. His in-depth and comprehensive pleadings before the Tribunals (CESTAT), High Courts and the Supreme Court have resulted in several path breaking and landmark decisions, many of which are often cited as precedents. Leading corporate houses repose their trust in him not only for litigation issues, but also to advise them on effective tax planning, including re-strategizing domestic and cross border businesses and transactions.

He frequently presents papers on important indirect tax issues in seminars and workshops organized by reputed professional and trade bodies. He has been the Joint Secretary of the CESTAT Bar Association, Mumbai, for more than fifteen years.

His typical working day is unpredictable and long. But his destress mechanism is an intense game of badminton, or a dose of his favourite authors like A.P Herbert and P.G. Wodehouse.
