REGULATORY AND CORPORATE LAW ADVISORY AND COMPLIANCE
The Indian Government has been making serious efforts to improve the regulatory framework and environment in India to go up the ladder of global ranking on “Ease of Doing Business” through various measures including adoption of technology and automation in various facets. Despite this, over the last several years, the Regulatory environment in India has become severely complex and the compliances have become very onerous for business houses. There are hundreds of regulations State level, Center level and District level, which a business house has to comply with and many of the laws are archive. In fact, India is moving towards self-compliance and self-governance, but at the same time, law makers keep an eye on non-compliances and avoidance and also take tough positions in some situations. A thorough understanding of regulatory environment, approvals required and compliances under various regulations is a critical aspect of doing business in India
