Question / Claim
Companies that miss statutory tax and compliance filings can be identified via public data and monetized as leads for CA/compliance services.
Key Assumptions
- Missed or delayed statutory filings indicate a strong need for paid compliance services.(high confidence)
- Public corporate filings are sufficient to infer compliance risk without accessing private tax data.(medium confidence)
- CA firms are willing to pay for curated, scored compliance-risk leads.(high confidence)
Evidence & Observations
- MCA company master data shows last filing dates and active status, allowing identification of overdue annual filings.(data)
- GSTIN status (active/suspended) is publicly checkable and correlates with compliance issues.(data)
- Low tax expense relative to revenue in financial statements suggests under-filing or minimal compliance.(data)
Open Uncertainties
- How accurate compliance-risk inference is without direct access to income tax filing data.
- Best pricing and packaging model for selling this data to CA firms.
- Legal boundaries on outreach messaging using inferred non-compliance.
Current Position
I believe there is a systematic, legal way to identify high-intent compliance-defaulter companies using MCA, GST, and financial inference, and this data is valuable to CAs.
This is work-in-progress thinking, not a final conclusion.
