Image
 If your bank has suddenly asked for a "TEV report" instead of the usual project or feasibility report you were expecting, you're not the only one confused about why the same loan application sometimes needs a simple feasibility report and sometimes needs a full techno-economic viability (TEV) study. The answer depends on your loan size, project type, and your specific bank's internal policy, all of which now sit under RBI's revised project finance framework introduced If you're unsure which report your bank actually wants, Sharda Associates' CA-led team can help you figure this out before you commission the wrong document—call or WhatsApp tel:+918989977769.

Who Provides Bankable CMA Report Preparation Services in India?

CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data is prepared by the borrower, not the bank — usually with the help of a Chartered Accountant firm or a specialised financial documentation consultancy, since the report has to follow a specific format that banks use to assess working capital and credit limit requirements. Banks in India are required to obtain CMA data before sanctioning or renewing working capital and cash credit limits, which is why a properly prepared, "bankable" CMA report is essential for anyone applying for or renewing such a facility.  Sharda Associates , a CA-certified financial documentation provider, prepares bankable CMA reports for businesses applying for working capital and CC limits. What Exactly Is CMA Data, and Why Does It Exist? CMA data was originally introduced as a standardised way for banks to assess a borrower's financial position before extending or renewing credit — rather than each bank designing its own format, CMA data gives a common stru...

How Much Does a Project Report for Land Allotment Cost?

Image
A project report, also known as a detailed project report (DPR), is a necessary document if you are asking for an industrial plot from MIDC, MPIDC , KIADB, KSSIDC, or any other State Industrial Development Corporation. Before your application is even reviewed, the project report is required under every state's land allotment policy, such as Madhya Pradesh's Industrial Land and Building Allocation and Management Rules, 2025, and MIDC's Ease of Doing Business land allotment rules. A weak or generic report could cost you the plot itself if it is rejected at the Land Allotment Committee (LAC) stage; however, the cost of this report is a minor portion of your overall investment.  At Sharda Associates , our CA-certified project reports for land allotment are prepared to match each authority's checklist, starting from Rs.2,999, so your application moves through scrutiny without back-and-forth queries. What Does a Project Report for Land Allotment Cost Actually Cover? A basic ...
