Use Case
Survive September Filing Season with ThynkFile
60–150 clients. 45 days. The September–October filing crunch breaks firms every year. ThynkFile turns a 10-hour-per-client process into under 60 minutes.
The Filing Season Problem
The Math Does Not Work
- AGM deadline: September 30 for most companies
- AOC-4 due: AGM + 30 days (late October)
- MGT-7 due: AGM + 60 days (late November)
- Typical firm: 60–150 clients
- Manual time per client: 8–15 hours
- Total required: 480–2,250 hours in 45 days
- Available (3-person team): ~540 hours
- Result: nights, weekends, errors, missed deadlines
The Cost of Delay
₹100/day
Penalty per company for late AOC-4 filing
₹2–5K
XBRL vendor cost per company (if outsourced)
2–5 days
Wait time for XBRL vendor turnaround
Staff burnout
The real cost — turnover, errors, client dissatisfaction
