Section Confusion

New numbering from April 2026. Old case laws cite 1961 sections. No one has a mapping tool.

And at NFAC, there's no personal hearing.
Your file must speak for itself. Make it speak brilliantly.

How TFL Works

Missed a deadline? TFL detects it immediately and auto-drafts your condonation of delay application with standard grounds.

Built by a Chartered Accountant.
For Chartered Accountants.

TFL isn't built by a tech company guessing what CAs need. It's built by a qualified CA who has filed submissions, compiled paperbooks, tracked deadlines, and missed sleep over pending appeals.

"I built TFL because I was tired of spending 12 hours on a CIT(A) submission that should take 2. Every feature in this product exists because I needed it myself — in my own practice."
