The System Will Not
Come For You.

You've been in this job long enough to know how it works.

Every quarter there is a target. Open more accounts. Faster. The YONO leads need to be converted. The RM is on the phone. The BM is asking for a count by evening.

You ask questions. You get verbal answers. Nothing goes on record.

You clear the EDD. You move on. You hit your target. Nobody says anything.

Then — six months later. A year later. Two years later — the Cyber Crime unit identifies that account as a mule. They trace it back. They look at who did the EDD. They look at the approval.

"The officer cleared it.
See — his login ID.
His approval timestamp."

That is the entire institutional response. Not a defence of you. Not an explanation of the pressure. Just your login ID, pointed at like evidence.

The DGM who pushed your branch for that account opening target will not be in that room.

The WhatsApp message from your RM with the "this one looks fine, just process it" instruction will not be in that file.

The monthly pressure tracker, the incentive linked to conversion numbers, the fear of a transfer if targets were missed — none of it will appear in any document the institution provides to investigators.

What appears is your name.

You are the paper trail. And right now, it only runs in one direction.

EDD Saathi was built to change that. Not to protect the bank. Not to satisfy an audit. To protect you.

What EDD Saathi Does

60 Seconds.
Bulletproof Paper Trail.

Runs entirely on Excel. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is stored. Works offline. Free forever.

01
Automated Red Flag Detection

Cross-checks every transaction against official EDD parameters — layering, sudden volume spikes, NCRP-linked behaviour, loan app deposits, round-figure structuring. No manual analysis needed.

02
Auto-Generated Investigation Report

At the end of every analysis, a formatted, printable EDD investigation report is generated. Attach it to the customer file. Dated. Documented. Defensible.

03
Proves Your Diligence, Not Their Innocence

If police ever question an account you cleared, the report proves you ran a forensic process. That you flagged what needed flagging. That you were not negligent. This is the only question they will ask about you.

04
Zero Data Risk

Runs locally. No cloud. No login. No account numbers or customer data leave your machine. Built for SBI statements. Expanding to all banks — see below.
