How we started
Founded in 2000
In 2000, compliance in India was largely manual, fragmented, and dependent on spreadsheets and paper-based processes. Tax professionals and businesses had to constantly track evolving regulations without any integrated system to support them. Workflows were repetitive, time-consuming, and highly prone to errors, making accuracy and efficiency difficult to maintain. This revealed a clear gap for structured, India-specific software that could simplify compliance and bring consistency, reliability, and scale to everyday statutory operations.
Shri Shamji L. Patel, a Chartered Accountant, closely observed the challenges of managing compliance through manual, Excel-driven systems in his professional practice. At a time when technology was transforming other industries, statutory and tax processes in India still lacked meaningful digital support, making compliance repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone. Driven by this reality, he founded Relyon as his brainchild with a vision to introduce automation into compliance and build a structured system to simplify end-to-end statutory work.
The name Relyon reflects this philosophy — “rely on” the system, where businesses can depend on the software for accuracy, stability, and trust in compliance. That principle has guided every product decision since.
The journey began with Karnataka Commercial Tax Laws on a CD (KCTLC), which digitised access to statutory tax laws for professionals in Karnataka at a time when references were still paper-based. This was followed by early automation tools like CompTax, designed to simplify income tax computation and reduce manual effort. The strong response from users validated the need for India-specific compliance software, laying the foundation for what would later evolve into the Saral suite, built on structure, accuracy, and trust.
