Insights & Controls

A calendar tells you what's due. Guard tells you what's wrong.

Fifteen automated checks run across your full compliance footprint, catching the things a deadline list never will: clashing due dates, figures that don't agree across returns, a maker approving their own work, a policy gone stale, penalty exposure mounting on an overdue item. Where two returns disagree, the engine reconciles them and proposes which figure is correct. Nothing stands until a checker confirms it, and the decision that follows is yours.

The coverage

Every kind of obligation a lender carries

From RBI returns filed on a portal to board duties that never appear on one, Guard maps what applies to your specific entity type and layer, then tracks each through its own lifecycle.

🏛️

Statutory & regulatory filings

The mandatory returns and their deadlines, mapped to your entity type and SBR layer, and tracked through a controlled filing workflow.

  • RBI / CIMS: DNBS series, NBS-2, ALM, CRILC
  • Credit information: weekly furnishing to all four bureaus
  • MCA: AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1, DIR-3 KYC
  • SEBI LODR for listed debt; FIU-IND CTR / STR
🏢

Internal governance

The duties that never hit a portal, surfaced from a 67-item master scaled to your layer, each with an assign → evidence → review lifecycle.

  • Control functions: CCO, CRO (above ₹5,000 Cr), audit head
  • Board committees: Audit, Risk, NRC, ALCO, with cadence
  • Board-approved policies, tracked for periodic review
  • IT governance: for ML/UL NBFCs (not Base-Layer / CIC)
📐

Covenants

The conditions attached to lending, on your own borrowings and on the loans you give. The reporting schedule is extracted from the sanction letter and monitored for you, with figures tracked against each period, received kept distinct from certified, and Guard flags what crosses or approaches the threshold in force.

  • Lender-side: CRAR, NPA caps, leverage on your facilities
  • Borrower-side: DSCR, current ratio, debt/EBITDA
  • NCD / trustee and refinance-line conditions
  • Breach workflow: log → acknowledge → act → resolve
📋

Policies & SOPs

A live register of board-approved policies and operating procedures, each with an owner, a review date, and a freshness check that flags lapses.

  • Fair Practices Code, KYC/AML, digital-lending policy
  • Review schedule with owner assignment
  • POSH, whistle-blower, code of conduct
  • Flagged automatically when a review lapses
Controlled filing workflow

Four eyes on every return, on the record

Each filing moves through a maker-checker workflow with segregation of duties enforced, the person who prepares a return cannot approve or verify it. Every transition is written to a permanent, timestamped audit trail.

STEP 01
Maker

Prepare

Working data, source reference and reconciliation captured against the return.

STEP 02
Checker

Approve

A different person reviews and signs off, with remarks, or sends it back.

STEP 03
Maker

File

Filed on the portal; acknowledgement number and proof attached.

STEP 04
Verifier

Verify

Acknowledgement checked against the approved working and closed out.

Covenants

Catch a covenant before it breaches

Covenants live scattered across sanction letters and loan agreements, and no regulator reminds you about them. Guard gives them one home, grouped by facility and by borrower.

  • ↔

    Both directions

    Conditions on your own borrowings, and conditions you set for the businesses you lend to.

  • ◔

    Approaching, not just breached

    Each period's figure is tracked against the term in force for that period, however it reaches you, with received kept distinct from certified. Guard flags a value that comes within range of the threshold you configured, before the line is crossed.

  • ⚲

    A breach is a workflow, not just a red dot

    Log it, acknowledge it, record what you did, notified the lender, sought a waiver, noted a cure period, and resolve it, all on a permanent trail.

Managing covenants end to end, not just watching a threshold.

Beyond flagging a value against a limit, Guard runs the full lifecycle of loan covenants and post-disbursement obligations end to end: capture and register with maker-checker review, effective-dated versioning so every past reporting period stays assessable against the terms then in force, a covenant engine that reads borrower submissions and runs the compliance check, and a breach carried through to a recorded outcome.

How to read Guard

A tracking tool: built to be honest about it

Compliance is your responsibility, and Guard never pretends otherwise. It makes that responsibility easier to carry, surfacing what needs attention and keeping the record straight, without ever taking the accountability that stays with your regulated entity.

What Guard does

  • Surfaces every obligation that applies to your entity
  • Tracks each return through prepare → file → verify
  • Flags collisions, exceptions, lapses and approaching thresholds
  • Reconciles the same figure across two returns and proposes which is correct
  • Keeps a permanent, timestamped audit trail
  • Compiles your own records for an inspection

What Guard does not do

  • File returns on your behalf or sign anything
  • Give legal or financial advice, or certify compliance
  • Declare an event of default, or waive a covenant
  • Let a reconciliation or compliance result stand without a checker confirming it
  • Notify a regulator or lender for you

No commitment. A compliance specialist will reach out within one business day.

LendShield Guard is a compliance-tracking tool provided by LendShield Technologies Private Limited. It does not file returns, provide legal or financial advice, or certify compliance. Accuracy of data, decisions and filings remains the responsibility of the regulated entity. Penalty figures, where shown, are indicative and based on published statutes, confirm against the live circular and your advisor. Regulatory thresholds and frequencies referenced here should be verified against current RBI / MCA / SEBI directions.
