ComplianceStack vs portal-by-portal tracking
Your compliance is spread across half a dozen government portals — GST, income-tax and TRACES, EPFO, ESIC, and MCA21. Each is the authoritative source for its slice, and you'll always use them for the actual filing and payment.
The problem is that no portal gives you the whole picture. ComplianceStack doesn't replace the portals; it unifies what they each hold into one calendar with owners, status and evidence — so you stop logging into five places to answer one question.
| ComplianceStack | Government portals | |
|---|---|---|
| Unified view | One calendar across all obligations | Each portal shows only its own slice |
| What applies | Computed from your profile | You must know which portals you're even on |
| Reminders | Proactive, before each due date | Largely self-service; you go and check |
| Ownership | Each item assigned to a person/advisor | No concept of an owner |
| Evidence | All proofs in one vault | Acknowledgements scattered per portal |
| Diligence pack | Assembled and ready to share | Manual download from each portal |
| Authority | Tracks and evidences; not the filing system | The official system of record for filing |
Why the portals still matter
The government portals are the source of truth for the actual filing, payment and official record. ComplianceStack never tries to be that — you file and pay where the law requires, on the portal.
But the portals are designed for submission, not management. They don't tell you what you've missed across all of them, who owns each item, or whether you can produce the proof on demand. Answering 'are we clean?' means logging into each one and stitching it together yourself.
What ComplianceStack unifies
ComplianceStack pulls the picture together: it knows your full set of obligations, computes each due date, assigns owners, reminds you ahead of time, and stores every acknowledgement and challan in one vault.
You still file on the portals — but you manage from one place, and the diligence-ready evidence is already assembled rather than scattered across five logins.
FAQs
- Does ComplianceStack connect to the GST or MCA portals?
- ComplianceStack is your tracking and evidence layer — you continue to file and pay on the official portals, and record the acknowledgement against the task as evidence.
- Why not just use the government portals?
- They're authoritative for filing but fragmented for management — no single view of what applies, what's due across all of them, who owns it, or whether the proof exists. ComplianceStack unifies that.
- Will ComplianceStack remind me before due dates?
- Yes — it computes each due date and reminds you ahead of time, instead of relying on you to check each portal.
- Does it store my filing acknowledgements?
- Yes. Every challan and acknowledgement lives in one evidence vault, scoped by role, so it's ready for diligence or a notice.
