Brief Overview
Compliance Mantra is a unique software solution designed by FSL Software Technologies Ltd., to monitor and track the day to day compliances that occur in normal business operations. The software has significant features that set it apart, from the conventional way of monitoring and tracking Compliance. Compliance Mantra provides a platform whereby user(s) can define the compliance requirement as per their business, operations, or even statutory and regulatory requirements; can schedule the compliance submission targets; and allocate job responsibility. Further, Compliance Mantra helps in organizing the documents submitted, besides generating alerts for the due and overdue compliances. The primary challenge that businesses face is in adhering to the deadlines for their statutory & regulatory obligations. Organizations with various companies and agencies have too many compliance requirements to address. Monitoring and tracking compliance against their target dates is at time unmanageable. To sort the problem, Compliance Mantra is designed, which will give the user the discretion to track their due dates and actual compliance. Compliance Mantra generates reports on various parameters and combinations of Agency(ies); Company(ies); Responsibility(ies); department(s) and scheduled months. The software works on team collaboration concept, where management/users can view compliance done by other and can suggest remarks and comments. The software throws alerts for pending or overdue jobs. The user can actually create a library of files (database), which may be required at any point of time in the operational work as proof. People can access the documents attached. Monitoring and tracking of the compliance, is one of the stand alone feature that sets Compliance Mantra aside of the others and giving automation to the current working systems.

Released November, 2011 8. Target date Target date is defined by the organizations management to do the compliance before the due date, to avoid the last date contingencies. Example - For deposit of PF contribution internally target date has been defined is 12th (could be any date as per the convenience of the department/management) of subsequent month for avoiding the contingencies for last moments. The last date of submitting the compliance as specified by the law, authority is defined as the due date. Example PF contribution to be deposited by 15th of subsequent month for any month under Provident Fund Act, 1952. The compliance issue for which the target dates has not yet come, displays as pending task. The compliance issue for which target date has passed but due dates has not yet come comes as pending and due. Compliance issue for which both the target date & due date had passed shows as pending and overdue. Compliance issue which is done before the target date. Compliance issue which is done after the target date but before due date. Compliance issue which is done after the target date and due date shows as done beyond due date The compliance issue which is done and the acknowledgements due date of receiving have not yet expired shows as acknowledgement pending. The compliance issue which has been done but the acknowledgement is still not received; even the due date of receiving has expired. The compliance issue for which the acknowledgements has been received before the due dates. The compliance issue for which the acknowledgement has received after the due dates of receiving has already passed shows as acknowledgement late received.
