FAQ

Cost Accounting — frequently asked

A Starter DPR ships in 3–4 weeks. Professional, which adds cost audits and financial modelling, typically lands in 4–6 weeks. Enterprise is a 90-day partnership with multiple reports and ongoing advisory.

Yes. The DPR format follows the sanction-ready structure every PSU and private sector bank in India expects — executive summary, promoter profile, market analysis, cost structure, projections, cash flow, and sensitivity analysis. We've had DPRs sanctioned by SBI, Canara Bank, HDFC, ICICI, and cooperative banks.

At Professional tier and above, yes — scheme applications are supported end-to-end. Starter includes an eligibility and readiness check but not the full application.

The templates are bundled with every tier and designed to be usable on their own — but you'll get a lot more out of them with the consultation hours that are included.

Professional gets you a DPR, scheme application support, and 30 days email support. Enterprise is a 90-day partnership — multiple reports, formal cost audit, benchmarking, and quarterly review.
