The Compliance
Intelligence Layer
for Indian Corporations
One workspace to track every licence, return, and regulatory deadline — across GST, Income Tax, Corporate, Labour, FEMA, and beyond. Built for in-house legal teams.
Compliance is breaking
corporate legal teams.
India has over 1,500 central and state laws generating more than 26,000 compliance obligations. Most corporations still track them in spreadsheets — or not at all.
Of corporate penalties are avoidable
Missed filings, lapsed licences, and overlooked due date extensions account for the majority of regulatory penalties — all preventable with a proper tracking system.
Portals to monitor manually
GSTN, MCA21, EPFO, ESIC, TRACES, RBI, SEBI, CBIC, RERA, FSSAI, CDSCO — each with its own login, format, and update cadence.
Cost of reactive vs. proactive compliance
Responding to a penalty notice costs 4× more in legal fees, management time, and reputational risk than filing on time would have.
What non-compliance
actually costs.
Licence Lapse (Regulated Industries)
Penalties up to ₹5 lakh per day of operations post-expiry on a lapsed manufacturing or operating licence, plus product recall and remediation costs.
GST Late Filing Fees
₹50–₹200 per day per return. An enterprise with 10 GSTINs missing a monthly return for 30 days accumulates ₹60,000 in late fees alone.
MCA Annual Return Delay
Additional filing fees under Section 403 compound daily. Directors can face disqualification under Section 164(2) for repeated non-filing.
Labour Law Default (PF / ESI)
Delayed PF deposit attracts 12–18% p.a. interest plus damages up to 25% of the amount. Prosecution under Section 14 of the EPF Act is possible.
The hidden cost is opportunity cost. A compliance crisis pulls the GC, CFO, and external counsel into firefighting mode — diverting 40–60 partner hours from revenue-generating work.
