In an official statement, Intuit informed that from January 31, 2023, Quickbooks Online products will no longer be available in India. “Accordingly, we are no longer accepting new subscriptions in India at this time. This applies to all subscriptions for QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Online Accountant, the QuickBooks mobile app, and QuickBooks Time,” the statement said, as reported by Moneycontrol.
All the existing paid subscribers will be switched to the free plan by Jul 31, 2022; this will help companies to continue with Quickbooks till January 2023 with no charges applied. Customers with an annual subscription will be offered a refund for the unused portion of their subscription.
