India processed over 228 billion UPI transactions in 2025. That scale has also created cover. Fraudsters use mule accounts, bank accounts opened or hijacked specifically to route stolen funds, to move money through the UPI network faster than most institutions can trace manually.

ML-Powered AML Checks: Detect Circular Transactions Before Loan Disbursal
A loan applicant submits three months of bank statements. The numbers look good. Regular credits, a healthy average balance, no obvious red flags, nothing a standard review would flag during bank statement analysis. The credit team approves. Disbursement goes through. A few weeks later, repayment stress sets in. When someone investigates, the pattern emerges: the […]
How CAs Can Use ITR Analysis to Prepare Clients for Year-End Financial Reviews
Year-end reviews land at the worst possible time. Documents pile up, clients call with last-minute queries, and the window to make any meaningful changes is closing fast. For CAs managing a full roster, the real challenge isn’t knowing what to look for; it’s getting through the analysis quickly enough to act on it. ITR analysis […]
Fake GST Invoices and How They Surface During Tax Filing Season
Tax filing season is when the cracks start to show. Businesses that have spent months accumulating Input Tax Credit (ITC) on questionable invoices suddenly need those claims to hold up. Clients who papered over weak months with fictitious purchases now sit across from their CAs, expecting clean filings. And CAs, working through stacks of GSTR […]
Bank Statement Insights for CAs: Uncovering SME Cash Gaps Before Tax Season
Tax season is when most CAs get their clearest look at an SME client’s finances. But by then, the gaps have already compounded. The mismatched GST filings, the months where outflows quietly exceeded inflows, the informal loans disguised as irregular credits, the salary that shows up three days before a suspiciously large withdrawal. None of […]
Precisa vs Perfios: A Detailed Comparison Guide
India’s credit ecosystem is under pressure. Lenders, forensic auditors, and compliance teams are processing more applications, handling more data, and carrying more regulatory risk than ever before. Choosing the right financial analysis platform isn’t a minor decision anymore. Precisa and Perfios are both well-regarded names in this space, but they serve fairly different needs. Perfios […]
Account Aggregator Failures: Why Lenders Need Smart Routing
The Account Aggregator (AA) framework was built to solve a real problem. Borrowers no longer need to collect physical bank statements, lenders get verified, tamper-proof financial data, and the entire consent-based flow happens in minutes rather than days. In theory, it’s a clean system. In practice, it breaks down more often than lenders publicly acknowledge. […]
How to Build CAM Reports Faster Using Automated Bank Statement Analysis
A Credit Appraisal Memorandum is the backbone of any lending decision. It brings together bank statement analysis, GST returns, credit bureau data, and financial ratios into a single document that tells the lender whether a borrower is creditworthy or not. The problem? Building one manually is slow, error-prone, and not a great use of a […]
The I-T Department Is Now Cross-Checking GST Data: What It Means for Lenders and CAs
The Income Tax department has a new tool in its enforcement playbook, and it’s one that finance professionals should pay close attention to. India’s I-T department is increasingly tapping into GST filings to widen the country’s direct tax base. The intent is straightforward: cross-check what businesses declare to the GST Network against what they report […]
Bank Statement Analysis for DSAs: How to Pre-Qualify Borrowers Effectively
If you’ve been a Direct Selling Agent for any length of time, you know the frustration: you work hard to source a loan application, put it through to the lender, and it comes back rejected.
