### FAQs

#### What does statutory and regulatory compliance advisory cover in India?

It covers identifying all applicable laws, building internal compliance frameworks, conducting periodic audits, managing regulatory filings, and training staff. The scope spans corporate law, SEBI regulations, FEMA, RBI directions, tax statutes, labour codes, and sector-specific rules relevant to your business.

#### When should a business invest in a formal compliance programme?

Ideally before operations begin, but certainly when you cross thresholds such as employee count triggers under labour codes, turnover limits under GST, or foreign investment levels requiring FEMA reporting. Regulatory scrutiny has intensified, and penalties now include personal liability for directors under the Companies Act 2013.

#### Which regulators and statutes commonly apply to Indian businesses?

Most companies must comply with MCA filings under the Companies Act 2013, GST obligations, SEBI rules if listed, FEMA if receiving or making foreign investments, and RBI directions if in financial services. Sector-specific regulators like IRDAI, TRAI, or DGCA add additional layers depending on the industry.

#### How long does it take to build a compliance framework from scratch?

A gap assessment typically takes four to six weeks. Designing policies, manuals, and reporting workflows adds another six to ten weeks depending on entity count and regulatory complexity. Key cost drivers include the number of jurisdictions, sector-specific licences involved, and whether multi-entity group structures require consolidated compliance mapping.

#### What documents are needed to begin a compliance audit engagement?

We typically need the certificate of incorporation, board resolutions, existing compliance calendars, prior audit reports, regulatory licences, annual return filings with MCA, FEMA filings such as FC-GPR or FC-TRS, GST returns, and any past correspondence with regulators. A complete company organogram helps us map obligations accurately.

#### What compliance mistakes do Indian companies most frequently make?

Common pitfalls include missing annual filing deadlines with MCA or RBI, failing to update beneficial ownership records, overlooking downstream investment reporting under FEMA, and treating compliance as a one-time exercise. These gaps often surface during due diligence, delaying fundraising or M&A transactions significantly.
