About this build
SevaSetu was built for the Build What Moves India hackathon. It is a fully functional prototype designed as an institutional compliance copilot for Indian non-profits, demonstrating real regulatory intelligence, AI notice translation, and simulated government integrations.
Who this is for
A first-time NGO founder in India must navigate at least five disconnected government portals — Structure Formation, Entity PAN, Section 12A Tax Exemption, Section 80G Donor Deductions, NITI Aayog NGO Darpan, plus MCA CSR-1 or MHA FCRA — each written in dense legal prose and hiding prerequisite dependencies. SevaSetu replaces that bureaucratic friction with a single sequential roadmap, plain-language guidance, and an AI notice translator.
Features & Implemented Systems
7 Integrated SubsystemsGovernment e-Pramaan SSO & Access Control
Institutional multi-modal sign-in with Mobile / Aadhaar OTP, Entity PAN/DIN, and DigiLocker SSO, protecting roadmap creation and filing modules.
Dynamic Branching Compliance Engine
Intelligent prerequisite chain computing 5 to 7 steps across 7 Indian regulators (Trust/Society/Section 8, PAN, 12A, 80G, NGO Darpan, CSR-1, FCRA) with radical honesty advisories.
Interactive DigiLocker Document Verification Gateway
Simulated Digital India repository integration allowing one-click bulk import of verified certificates (Trust Deed, PAN, Trustee Aadhaar, Utility NOC).
AI Notice Translator (Contractual Zero-Retention)
Server-side LLM inference with 4-stage fallback chain translating complex legal notices into plain action points with deadlines.
Verified Pro-Bono CA Network & Encrypted Dispatch
One-click encrypted sharing with SHA-256 package hash sent to ICAI-empanelled partner firms for compliance audit and DSC signoff with live dashboard tracking.
Live Asynchronous Dashboard & Suspension Bridge
Multi-state suspension bridge visualization with simulated ~15s asynchronous approval progression and 1-click demo seeder.
Print & Offline Physical Export Engine
CSS print media stylesheet formatting the complete personalized roadmap for board trustees, CAs, and advocates.
What is real
The branching roadmap engine
Your intake answers genuinely drive which registrations appear and in what order — the same logic a real advisor would apply, encoded from the source regulatory chain.
The guided journey & DigiLocker simulation
Every module, checklist, status change, and the dashboard reflect real state that persists through your session.
AI notice translation with 4-tier fallback
When an API key is configured, the Notice Translator calls a live server-side LLM with contractual zero data training — reading your pasted notice live.
Verified Pro-Bono CA Network state
Encrypts your roadmap bundle with SHA-256 digest, assigns empanelled ICAI partner firms, and tracks live review SLA on your dashboard.
MockedWhat is mocked
Document uploads
Upload buttons mark items complete in your browser only. No files are stored or transmitted anywhere.
Submissions, statuses and approvals
“Submitted” means recorded locally, and “Approved” arrives automatically a few seconds later — both simulated. No registrar, the income-tax department, NITI Aayog, or MHA is contacted.
Example notice and personas
The sample notice and the example NGO profiles are illustrative, written for this prototype.
Timelines and thresholds
Figures like “valid for a few years” are illustrative. Real rules change; verify against official sources before acting.
