Frequently asked

Questions we hear from founders.

Yes. We manage the full lifecycle — entity structuring and incorporation, the RBI application and approvals, and the policies and frameworks required before and after registration.

Absolutely. We advise fintechs, LSPs and technology-driven institutions on digital-lending compliance, gap assessments, regulatory process design and the governance documentation RBI expects.

We prepare you ahead of time with compliance health checks and gap assessments, assist through the inspection and supervisory review, and support representation before the regulator where required.

Both. Many clients engage us as a long-term compliance partner with periodic reviews, reporting and a monitoring dashboard — others bring us in for a specific licence, policy set or product launch.

Primarily the RBI, along with FIU-IND, MCA, ROC and SEBI — and other government authorities as your business and registrations require.
