General Compliance | Navigating the Red Tape
“Red Tape” is a reality of doing business in India. But it shouldn’t strangle your growth. The Compliance practice at Satyarth Legal acts as your shield against regulatory friction. We handle the heavy lifting of licenses, registrations, and filings so that your management team can focus on strategy, not paperwork.
We support businesses through the entire lifecycle: from obtaining the first shop act license to winding up operations smoothly.
Who Is This For?
Foreign Subsidiaries: Who need local experts to interpret Indian rules.
Manufacturing Units: Dealing with environmental and factory clearances.
E-Commerce Platforms: navigating consumer protection and legal metrology rules.
Scope of Services
1. Secretarial Compliance We manage the routine but critical filings under the Companies Act:
Maintenance of Statutory Registers.
Filing of Annual Returns (MGT-7, AOC-4).
Recording of Board Minutes and Resolutions.
2. FEMA & RBI Compliance For companies with foreign investment (FDI) or those sending money abroad (ODI), strict reporting to the RBI is mandatory. We handle:
FC-GPR filings for share allotment.
FLA (Foreign Liabilities and Assets) annual returns.
Compounding applications for past defaults.
3. Licences & Approvals We assist in identifying and obtaining the necessary operational licenses:
Shops & Establishments Act.
Legal Metrology (Packaging & Labelling laws).
FSSAI (Food Safety) licenses.
Environmental Clearances (Pollution Control Board).
Common Risks
FEMA Defaults: The RBI takes a strict view of delayed reporting for foreign funds. Penalties can be severe. We help regularize these through the Compounding mechanism.
Document Hygiene: Many companies fail to maintain physical registers (Members, Directors). This is the first thing a Due Diligence lawyer checks. If they are missing, your deal stalls.
Why Satyarth Legal?
We are thorough. We don’t rely on “agents.” Our lawyers understand the law behind the license. We anticipate questions from the authorities and prepare your applications to minimize rejections and delays.
