Streamlined XBRL Services for Effortless MCA Reporting
End-to-end regulatory reporting support to meet evolving MCA filing requirements
India's Digital Reporting Mandate
Regulators in India — MCA, SEBI, RBI, and CBDT — increasingly require financial and compliance data to be filed in machine-readable formats like XBRL and iXBRL, not PDFs. The goal is consistent, comparable, analysable data across thousands of filers, so regulators, investors, and tax authorities can process it automatically instead of reading it manually. For companies, CAs, and CS practices, this means every reporting cycle now carries a conversion and tagging step alongside the accounting work itself.

We convert your finalised financials and disclosures into fully validated XBRL/iXBRL output — accurately tagged, taxonomy-compliant, and ready to file. You keep ownership of the numbers and the filing; we take the formatting, tagging, and validation off your plate, whether you need it done as a managed service or through our own software.

MCA — AOC-4 XBRL
Companies meeting MCA’s applicability criteria (listed companies and their Indian subsidiaries, and unlisted companies above the prescribed paid-up capital/turnover thresholds) must file annual financial statements in XBRL via Form AOC-4. We convert your finalised financials into the correct Ind AS/IGAAP taxonomy and validate before filing.
FATCA/CRS Reporting
Reporting Financial Institutions must identify and report reportable accounts to the Income Tax Department (Form 61B) under India’s FATCA and CRS obligations. We help link and aggregate account data across business units and prepare compliant output.
CbCR (Country-by-Country Reporting)
Under BEPS Action Plan 13 and Section 286 of the Income-tax Act, in-scope multinational groups must file Country-by-Country Reports (Form 3CEAD, with 3CEAC/3CEAE as applicable). We convert your consolidated data into the India-specific XML schema.
