Who Provides Project Report Preparation Services for Bank Loans in India?

Image
If you've ever applied for a business loan at a bank branch, you've undoubtedly heard the credit officer want a "project report" before proceeding. Banks in India are becoming more stringent about who writes this document and how it is approved, despite the fact that many first-time borrowers believe they can write it themselves or that any expert can do it. A project report for a bank loan is a technical and financial document that details your company's expenses, funding strategy, anticipated revenue, and ability to repay the loan. Most scheduled banks require the certification of a practicing chartered accountant for loans over approximately ₹10 lakh.  At Sharda Associates , our CA-led team prepares bank-ready, CA-certified project reports for term loans, MUDRA, PMEGP and other scheme-based lending, so this article explains exactly who is qualified to prepare one, what it should contain, and how to avoid the mistakes that get applications sent back.

Can I Get a Bank Loan Without a CA's Help?

Yes, you can get a bank loan without a CA's help. A Chartered Accountant is not legally mandatory for most loans. However, for business loans, PMEGP, Mudra, CGTMSE, or loans requiring project reports and financial projections, professional assistance can improve documentation quality and reduce delays.    If you're planning to apply for a business loan, this is probably one of the first questions on your mind: can I get a bank loan without a CA's help, or is it compulsory to hire one? The honest answer is — it depends on the loan amount, the type of loan, and how complex your financial documentation needs to be. For small, straightforward loans, many people do manage without a CA. But as the loan amount grows or the bank asks for detailed financial projections, going without a CA's help often ends up costing more time and money than it saves. This is exactly where Sharda Associates steps in for applicants who'd rather not risk delays — preparing CA-certified project...

Tax Audit Report Filing Deadline for Section 44AB Cases (AY 2026-27): Complete Guide

If your business or profession crosses the turnover or gross receipts limit prescribed under the Income Tax Act, missing the tax audit report filing deadline can lead to penalties and complications in loan or compliance processes. For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the tax audit report under Section 44AB must generally be filed by 30th September 2026, with the linked income tax return due by 31st October 2026. Here's everything you need to know to stay compliant. Many small business owners only realise they need a tax audit when their accountant flags it close to the deadline, and by then there's very little time to get books finalised, reconcile GST returns, and get a chartered accountant to sign off. Businesses that are simultaneously arranging a bank loan often need their audited financials aligned with CMA data and project reports submitted to the bank. This is where firms like Sharda Associates support businesses — by preparing CA-certified project reports, bank-ready financial ...
