Client Case Studies
Real examples of how we've helped manufacturing & industrial businesses solve complex financial challenges.
Auto Components Manufacturer
Challenge
An auto components manufacturer faced significant ITC leakage due to mismatched vendor filings — Rs 22 lakh in credits were stuck. Additionally, the company needed a cost audit for a new product line to set competitive pricing.
Our Solution
Implemented monthly GSTR-2B reconciliation with automated vendor follow-up system, recovered blocked ITC through proper documentation and communication with defaulting vendors, and performed detailed product-wise cost audit covering material, labour, overhead, and logistics.
Result
Recovered Rs 12 lakh in blocked ITC within the first quarter. Cost audit revealed 8% margin improvement opportunity through overhead reallocation. Vendor compliance rate improved from 72% to 94% within 6 months.
Textile Manufacturer & Exporter (Rs 35 Cr Exports)
Challenge
A textile exporter with Rs 35 crore annual exports was struggling with GST refund delays — Rs 1.8 crore in refunds were pending for over 12 months. LUT bond had lapsed, resulting in IGST being charged on exports.
Our Solution
Filed fresh LUT application and obtained approval within 7 days. Prepared and filed refund applications for all pending periods with proper documentation (shipping bills, BRC, FIRC). Represented before the department for stuck refund claims.
Result
Rs 1.2 crore in pending GST refunds disbursed within 6 months. Ongoing refund cycle reduced from 12 months to under 3 months through proper documentation. LUT compliance regularized, preventing future IGST outflow on exports.
Heavy Engineering Manufacturer (Rs 80 Cr Turnover)
Challenge
A heavy engineering company with Rs 80 crore turnover had no formal cost accounting system. Product costing was based on estimates, leading to underpricing of complex products and overpricing of standard ones. Statutory audit was also overdue.
Our Solution
Implemented activity-based costing (ABC) system for 120+ product SKUs, set up real-time cost sheets linked to ERP, conducted comprehensive statutory audit with manufacturing-specific focus (inventory valuation, WIP assessment, depreciation review), and prepared tax audit report.
Result
Identified 12 products being sold below actual cost — pricing corrected, adding Rs 1.2 crore to annual margins. Statutory and tax audits completed on time. Inventory valuation methodology standardized, reducing year-end adjustments by 60%.
