Bank Account Rejection	Banks enforce stricter KYC. SBI/HDFC/ICICI reject current account without registration certificate. Patron delivers bank-ready package
Missing Voluntary GST Advantage	CP/Nehru Place service providers below threshold forgo ITC on rent/software/equipment. Patron evaluates ITC benefit vs compliance cost
Udyam Gap Blocking GeM	Chandni Chowk/Okhla traders without Udyam blocked from GeM vendor onboarding = govt procurement lost. Patron files Udyam + GeM simultaneously
