Fragmented financial compliance looks manageable until scale exposes the hidden cost. A payroll platform may issue Form 16 but send employees elsewhere for ITR filing.

What Financial Platforms Need Before Launching Embedded ITR Filing

How Investors Are Managing Compliance Across Multiple Apps
Investors rarely use one financial platform anymore. One app may hold mutual funds, another may handle listed shares, another may track ETFs, another may show foreign investments, and the bank may separately report interest income. During the year, this feels convenient. During ITR filing, it becomes a compliance problem. The investor has to combine capital gains reports, dividends, AIS entries, Form 26AS, TDS credits, salary records, and bank interest before choosing the cor
