License Tracking

Every licence. Every location. Every renewal. Always covered.

A lapsed trade licence means your business is operating illegally. An expired FSSAI licence means your products are off shelves. Finndesk tracks every statutory licence across every entity and every office location — with alerts 45 days before renewal, not the day after expiry.

Why this matters

The problem License Tracking solves

Most statutory tasks in group companies go wrong due to operational gaps — spreadsheets and calendars don't talk directly to portals.

🏪

State-level licences have wildly different renewal cycles

Professional Tax varies by state. Shop establishment renewals range from 1 to 5 years depending on the state. FSSAI annual return and licence renewal are separate deadlines. Managing this patchwork across 6 entities in 3 states is genuinely complex.

📋

Licence renewal ownership falls between teams

Finance knows about Professional Tax. Admin knows about trade licences. Legal knows about FSSAI. Nobody has a complete view. Renewals fall through the cracks between departments.

Licence violations attract immediate shutdown risk

Unlike GST where late fees accumulate gradually, operating without a valid trade licence or post-FSSAI expiry can trigger immediate inspection orders, shop closures, and FIRs. The risk profile is entirely different from other compliance lapses.

Onboarding

Three steps to full coverage

01

Map all licences per entity and location

For each company, enter its statutory licences — trade licence, PT registration, shop establishment, FSSAI, and others. Include issuing authority, licence number, and expiry date. Upload the current certificate to the document vault.

02

45-day advance alerts with renewal task creation

Finndesk sets 45-day and 15-day advance alerts for every licence. When an alert fires, a renewal task is created automatically and assigned to the responsible team member or department. CFO escalation is triggered for critical licences.

03

Complete renewal — update expiry, reset the clock

When the renewed licence arrives, upload the new certificate and update the expiry date. The alert calendar resets for the new validity period. The document vault always holds the current version.
