NetGains has mapped the entire process electronically to meet compliances as laid down by SEBI, the regulator for Financial Markets and IT Act 2000/2008.

Companies still following paper based systems end up incurring huge cost that can be reduced considerably by shifting to a paperless system. With paperless systems such as electronic invoicing, electronic billing and electronic statements, companies can make a substantial cost cutting.
