how verification works
Prove your scale.
Keep your number.
Your revenue range comes from the returns you’ve already filed. Your exact sales stay private. That’s the foundation for meeting people at a similar stage.
You choose a source
Connect GST with an OTP, connect income tax, or upload the JSON of your filed ITR. You see the access notice before anything is connected.
We read the sales lines
Taxable value from GSTR-3B, revenue from the ITR's profit and loss. Never the GST you collected, never purchases, interest or rent.
We stamp a range
A range with its evidence period, source and confidence. Different ranges or serious discrepancies go to a person for review.
We shred the returns
Raw returns are deleted when the check finishes. Your exact figure is never stored, and your e-filing password is forgotten after use.
what we keep
This is everything we keep about your sales.
The whole record, as it sits in our database. Look for the rupee figure.
(there isn’t one.)
{
"financial_year": "2025-26",

}What we keep
- Your range and financial year
- Sources, confidence and verification flags
- Verification date and consent records
- Account and business details needed to run your verification
What we delete
- Raw returns after computation
- The exact computed figure after the check
- Your e-filing password after use
One stated exception: when sources arrive separately, a figure may be held encrypted for up to 24 hours only to reconcile GST and ITR, then deleted. The source-specific notice explains the processors and access involved.
fair questions
You should be suspicious. Here’s what we’d ask.
Why would I give a startup my GST OTP?
You shouldn’t, blindly. The OTP lets us read your returns through GSTN’s official API, for the window you choose when you switch on API access at gst.gov.in. You can switch it off there whenever you like. We read the sales lines, compute your range, and delete what we read.
What does verified mean?
It means the range was computed from filing evidence. It is not a guarantee of profitability, business quality or approval for finance. Confidence describes the source and coverage of that evidence.
Anyone can see my turnover slab on the GST portal. What’s different?
That slab comes from GST alone. We reconcile GST with your income-tax return across every GSTIN under your PAN, attach a confidence level, and show it only where you choose.
Can I use a file without sharing a password?
Yes. Download your filed ITR as JSON and upload it. An uploaded file can be edited, so it receives at most medium confidence on its own. Source confirmation will be required for community participation.
Will verifying publish my business?
No. Your certificate keeps the business name hidden unless you choose to show it during business confirmation. Public network profiles are a separate feature planned with explicit publication controls.
Can I join conversations today?
The circles and conversations are currently previews. Access opens soon, starting with businesses, and rooms open with the founding cohort once membership and participation controls are ready. Request access to save your seat.
