Escrow for Every Release Condition

Who this is for: Banks and NBFCs in RBI-sanctioned co-lending arrangements and lenders running multi-tranche term loan disbursements.

How it works: Co-lender and originator capital is held in a joint escrow and released on verified drawdown events — loan approval, property registration, or invoice confirmation. Repayment waterfall splits are automated from incoming receivables.

Key outcome: Eliminates capital diversion risk, reduces credit operations overhead, and provides a single audit trail for both lenders across the loan lifecycle.

Who this is for: OEMs and national distributors managing advance payments from dealer networks in automotive, consumer goods, and industrial sectors.

How it works: Dealer advances enter individual virtual escrow accounts. When the OEM confirms shipment and validates the VIN or product identifier, CastlerX releases the payment automatically. Cash logistics and physical logistics stay synchronised.

Key outcome: Dealers get payment protection. OEMs get guaranteed settlement on delivery.

Who this is for: Franchise brands running multi-outlet networks across QSR, retail, education, healthcare, and services.

How it works: All outlet revenues are collected through a central escrow. CastlerX applies the contractual split in real time — royalty to the franchisor, marketing pool to the fund, vendor payouts to approved suppliers, and net settlement to the franchisee.

Key outcome: Transparent, tamper-proof royalty flows. Franchisees get real-time settlement visibility.

Who this is for: Real estate developers, project trustees, and banks acting as RERA-mandated escrow custodians in India.

How it works: Buyer advances are deposited into the RERA escrow and released against verified construction milestones confirmed by the project engineer or RERA authority.

Key outcome: Developers receive timely milestone payments. Buyers have statutory protection. Banks demonstrate RERA compliance with automated reporting.

Who this is for: B2B and B2C marketplaces, trade platforms, and e-commerce aggregators where buyer and seller trust gaps create settlement friction.

How it works: Buyer payment is held on order placement. Delivery confirmation triggers release to the seller. Disputes pause the release until resolution. The marketplace retains the transaction fee as a protected, governed event.

Key outcome: Sellers get payment certainty. Buyers get delivery assurance.

Who this is for: Acquirers, sellers, and legal advisors in M&A transactions where a portion of consideration is held pending post-closing conditions.

How it works: The agreed holdback is placed in escrow at closing. CastlerX holds the balance until regulatory clearance, warranty period expiry, or earn-out verification is confirmed. Release requires dual-party or trustee approval.

Key outcome: Both parties transact with confidence. Holdback disputes are resolved against an immutable, time-stamped record.

Who this is for: RBI-licensed Payment Aggregators, BNPL platforms, and fintechs holding customer funds in India.

How it works: Customer funds are held in an RBI PA-compliant safeguarded escrow with governed reserves, commission splits, and scheduled settlements.

Key outcome: Licence compliance without manual fund management. Auditors receive a real-time dashboard.

Who this is for: Secured lenders, debenture trustees, and working capital financiers where borrower cash flows are pledged as security.

How it works: All inbound revenues enter the TRA. CastlerX applies the lender-specified waterfall — repayment first, operating expenses second, surplus to the borrower. Lenders monitor in real time.

Key outcome: First-charge on cash flows is automated and verifiable. Borrower diversion risk is eliminated.

Who this is for: AIF managers, VC funds, family offices, and co-investment SPVs where capital must be held pending diligence or regulatory approval.

How it works: Investor commitments are held in escrow and released to the fund only when the defined gate — SEBI AIF approval, co-investor sign-off, or diligence completion — is confirmed by the fund administrator.

Key outcome: Investors commit with protection. Fund managers demonstrate governance to regulators.

Who this is for: Insolvency Resolution Professionals, liquidators, and resolution applicants under IBC proceedings.

How it works: Realised assets are deposited into the liquidation escrow. CastlerX distributes proceeds in statutory priority order with trustee-compatible approval workflows.

Key outcome: Priority disbursement is automated and evidence-grade. Every payment is traceable.

Who this is for: RBI-registered P2P lending platforms managing borrower repayments across multiple lenders.

How it works: Borrower EMI payments are collected into a platform escrow. CastlerX splits each payment at source — principal and interest proportionally distributed to each lender's virtual account — without any funds pooling in a common wallet.

Key outcome: RBI P2P guidelines compliance. Commingling risk is structurally eliminated.

Who this is for: Parties to commercial disputes, arbitration proceedings, or settlement negotiations.

How it works: The disputed sum is deposited into a neutral escrow. Release requires a court order, arbitral award, or signed settlement agreement. Neither party can unilaterally access the funds.

Key outcome: Settlement timelines shorten when funds are already held in place.
